\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Admittedly, we are a little obsessed with the charming streets and small town feel that Excelsior offers it’s visitors. Naturally, it makes for a perfect setting for your portrait session but while your here stay experience all that historic Water Street has to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve put together a list of our family’s favorite outings to help you craft the perfect itinerary for a memorable day in Excelsior!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studio 220’s Favorite Shopping Destinations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with the adults, shall we? If you’re looking for the perfect gift or sentimental trinket you will have endless options at Capers.<\/a> This adorable shop is brimming with gifts for just about everyone (including your four legged friends)! I usually pick up my candles and small thank you gifts here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Capers<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My all time favorite destination for a little self love is Gray Home + Lifestyle<\/a>. To start, you are likely to be greeted by two of the cutest pugs in the world! This dog friendly store is like walking into a magazine. They offer everything from handmade jewelry to dish-ware, throws, clothing, and more. I want all the things! I especially love that it’s a mother \/ daughter owned store. These powerhouse women have an eye for clean, simple design that makes a big impact. I intend on convincing them to create a registry for those of us that want one of everything #searchnomorehubby! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other favorites worth visiting: Golden Rule<\/a>, Primp<\/a>, Ooh La La<\/a>, Sweet Nautical Boutique<\/a>, and any of the antique shops sprinkled through out Water Street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studio 220’s Favorite Eats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Obsessed doesn’t quite describe my feelings towards Olive’s Fresh Pizza Bar<\/a>. Inside diner tip: their wine pour is reason enough to pop in! Favorite pizza: The Sicilian, you’re welcome! On the other hand, we have a permanent table for 6 reserved for us at The Suburban<\/a> where we have our order memorized (1 Burger of the month, 1 pork sandwich, 2 Mac&Cheese, and 2 orders of sliders). The best tater tots in the whole world can be devoured here, just sayin’! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olive’s<\/a> & Suburban<\/a> | Fave Family Dining<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our favorite go to’s for a much needed date night include: Red Sauce Rebellion<\/a> (check out the Rebel Room for a killer cocktail and lounge vibe), Coalition<\/a> for delightful fine-dining, and Maynards<\/a> on the lake for the best patio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studio 220’s Favorite Things To Do With Kids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Best Toy Store: Something Safari<\/a> (seriously we can not enter Excelsior with out a visit)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Activity: Tommy’s Tonka Trolley<\/a>, paddle board and kayak rental right on the bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Ice Cream: Sorry, this one is a tie. We are a house divided and usually split up! It’s a win win with Licks Unlimited<\/a> and Tommy’s Tonka Trolley<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Rainy Day Getaway: Excelsior Dock Cinema<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this there is the sprawling Excelsior Commons Park where you can find 2 beaches, ample room to run and play and a park for the little ones. We also love taking a trip on the Trolley<\/a><\/strong> and Minnehaha Steamboa<\/a>t each summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there you have it! Hours of entertainment for everyone! If you’re planning a session in Excelsior take a few extra minutes to create some lasting memories while you are here. We have no doubt you will return to these local gems time and time again! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
