Can Can Wonderland

St. Paul, MN


Because You Can Can Can!

This week, our friend Jeff has been visiting so we have been hitting up cool things.  Today we went to Can Can Wonderland in St. Paul.   Can Can Wonderland is an entertainment and arts area within an old cannery.  You pay to get in and then you can see art, play pinball, play video games and other amusement games, buy beer by the ounce at the self pour bar, play mini golf, and do other things. I had high expectations and it exceeded those expectations.

Underground parking.  This place is popular year round and underground parking helps here in the cold north.


Pour yourself a beer!  By the oz!  You can make a suicide like when you were a kid at the skate ranch!

I bought a regular full pour from the bartender and then took an out of focus photo of it just for you!



Donna played a whack a mole type game very gently.  We called it "boop a gator".


I got my game face on for mini golf.



The 18 holes of min golf were amazing.  It was a great course.

In one end...

and out the other.









Donna and I played Space Race.  You spin a wheel and try to orbit the Earth faster than the other player.  The winner gets to hear either the US or Russian National Anthem depending on which country they picked. 

Donna and I played Speed Racer.  You spin a wheel and try to orbit the track faster than the other player.  (yes there were some similarities shared between the two games).


This game had an outdated theme.  You shot polar bears, penguins, and other artic creatures.

After a day of pinball and mini golf, you just want to sit with your alien friends and try to eat their balloon.

After Can Can Wonderland we swung by Lake Monster Brewing.  Donna found this brewery and wanted to go before we even moved to the area.


The 3 of us shared this flight of 4 small pours.

Later that evening we shared an old beer that Jeff brought.  It was still delicious.

That's it for today.  If you missed, How to Win at Pinball, check it out.
