Make the Most of Your Shakopee Stay

Cultural attractions and entertainment

Shakopee anchors Minnesota's entertainment corridor along the Minnesota River. Valleyfair, the Upper Midwest's largest amusement park, features 8 roller coasters and Soak City Waterpark across 125 acres. Canterbury Park brings thoroughbred racing and a 24-hour casino to the region, while the Minnesota Renaissance Festival transforms 22 acres into a 16th-century village each fall with 16 stages of entertainment. The Landing living history museum preserves frontier life through costumed interpreters in authentic 19th-century buildings.

Business hub with local character

The city serves corporate travelers through Canterbury's expo center and Mystic Lake's convention facilities across the Prior Lake border. Downtown Shakopee has evolved beyond its prohibition-era reputation into a walkable district with craft breweries and the Shakopee House supper club in historic storefronts. Highway 169 provides direct access to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport in 25 minutes, while MVTA express buses connect to downtown Minneapolis during peak hours.

River valley setting

The Minnesota River defines Shakopee's geography, with trails connecting downtown to The Landing's wooded parkland. Day trips reach Red Wing's Mississippi River bluffs or Taylors Falls' glacial potholes along the St. Croix. The city's Dakota heritage remains visible in the Shakopee Historic District, where pre-contact burial mounds stand near 19th-century brick buildings.
