*Know before you go*

There are some updates being done to the steps and sidewalks between Rustica and the parking ramp! You can still park in the ramp and you can still get to Rustica, you just might have to take the scenic route!

Parking on 4th Street and our Main Ave entrance are unbothered. See you at 5!

SUMMER HOURS START TODAY ☀️

Listen folks, we all waited a long time for this.

The sun is shining, the lakes are thawed, and Northern Minnesota summer isn't exactly known for overstaying its welcome.

So we're shifting into our summer schedule and spending a little more time enjoying it ourselves.

Get outside. Stay out late. Sit on a patio. Take the boat out. Chase a sunset.

And when you're hungry or thirsty, come see us.

We'll see you when we see you. 🍻
