A 25-acre sculpture park on a grassy prairie in the St. Croix River Valley, Franconia offers high-concept family fun year round, though it really flourishes on weekends from May through November. With up to 40 artists in residence each year, it has kids-make-sculpture workshops, hot-metal pours, picnics, weekend music festivals, sculpture to clamber over, and down-home professional artists to demystify it all. On a fabulous site near Taylor's Falls, Franconia makes art fun for all. 29836 St. Croix Trail, Shafer; 651-257-6668; franconia.org
