A visit to the Como-Harriet Streetcar Line offers more than just a streetcar ride. After your trip back in time, enjoy the beauty of Lake Harriet, part of Minneapolis' famed Chain of Lakes. You'll find lakeside refreshments, picnic grounds, ducks to feed, band concerts of all kinds, boats and canoes for rent, a playground, the Roberts Bird Sanctuary, the Rose and Rock Gardens, and a series of bicycle and walking trails. For more information about all that Minneapolis' parks have to offer, please click here to visit the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board's website.

You can also eat, drink, and shop in "downtown" Linden Hills - a neighborhood created by the streetcar. Just one block from the Linden Hills Boulevard stop or two blocks from the Linden Hills Station, you'll find interesting shops including the Bibelot Shop, Creative Kidstuff toys, and Wild Rumpus kids books and plenty to eat and drink including the Great Harvest Bakery, Sebastian Joe's ice cream, and Zumbro Coffee.
