Regional Day Trips
Good Neighbor Club members love good company and a good time, which is why we take advantage of everything Minnesota has to offer. We’ve attended Twins games together, shopped for spring blooms at Gerten’s, and attended countless plays and musicals, including Hamilton, The Lion King, and other Broadway hits. We travel together by bus and usually stop for a meal on our day trips. Coffee and treats are available on the bus, too!
Monthly Mystic Lake Outings
Our monthly trip to Mystic Lake is always a popular outing! We leave by bus from our branches in the morning and spend the day gaming at Mystic Lake in Prior Lake. We plan our trips on the casino’s 50+ fun day, where you can take advantage of $15 for slot play and a $4 food voucher.
