Recently, WCCO confirmed what we here in Maple Grove already know – this city is chock full of the best shopping, unique family fun and great dining! Prime Advertising is proud to work with many businesses in WCCO’s Ten Best Things To Do & See In Maple Grove.
If you want to experience some of the best open air shopping in the entire state – with more retail stores than the Mall of America but without the crowded mall feel – you need to visit Arbor Lakes!

Start at the Fountains where you can pick up everything you need at Costco, browse for a new cell phone at Verizon, and finally enjoy a lively family dinner at Dave & Busters. Move seamlessly onto the Shoppes, where you can ogle high end jewelry at Jared’s, pick up a hockey stick at Sport’s Authority, and relax with a first run movie or discount matinee at the AMC 16. Finish up in the original Maple Grove area of Main Street where you can pick up the latest technology at Best Buy, then pop over to Bylery’s for the largest variety of the very best food around.  Easily slip in a medical or dental appointment at one of the dozens of specialists conveniently located right where you shop! Arbor Lakes makes your life entirely one stop!  You can visit your orthodontist or pediatrician, you can bank or go to the spa, you can eat any food imaginable or spend the day at a water park. It’s ALL THERE at Arbor Lakes!!

Next stop in town, the  Maple Maze Indoor Playground, inside the Maple Grove Community Center, conveniently located off Weaver Lake Road – adjacent to Lifetime Fitness. This playground really does have something for every child and their parents. For the 12 and under crowd, there is a four story high enclosed play center with rope courses, twirl slides, double slides and rock climbing wall. For the 3 and under crowd, there is a separately enclosed play area with a toddler ball pit, slide and climbing structure. For the parents, there are comfortable chairs located at 360 degrees around the play structure and a large, kid friendly restroom, in the playground area for your convenience. Socks are required but sold on site if you forgot a pair.  Fees are nominal and licensed daycares as well as coupon book purchases receive special discounts on certain days.

Finishing off Prime’s connection to WCCO’s top ten – is Maple Grove’s best kept secret The Lookout Bar & Grill! Since 1958, The Lookout has been the place to go for the very best, ever changing food and menus that appeal to grown ups and children as well. Tear up on their huge, outdoor play fort that will keep the kid’s occupied while you enjoy relaxing on Minnesota’s biggest outdoor patio. For the adults, live music and dancing every Friday and Saturday night with no cover charge – ever! The crowd is always friendly and fun, all will feel welcome. Don’t forget The Lookout specializes in catering any and all occasions – why not bring the best food and service to your special event? In addition to dancing, there are sand volleyball tournaments and always an enticing happy hour special to entice you. The Lookout is such an integral part of Maple Grove not only because so many people enjoy all it has to offer, but because it gives so much back to Maple Grove through community fundraisers, concert benefits and support of local sports teams.
