Visit Rochester’s Downtown Peace Plaza

The Rochester Downtown Peace Plaza, which is undoubtedly on our list of the finest things to do in Minnesota, is a must-see if you're in the Rochester area. The plaza is a pedestrian-friendly location with easy access to everything in the downtown area and is close to the Mayo Clinic. Enjoy the top-notch eateries, chic shops, and sizable civic gathering spaces.

Even better, the city area is covered in a vast network of underground passageways and skywalks. The underground areas are especially pleasant in the bitter winter months. The summer market, noontime entertainment with music, and theatrical productions are just a few of the events held at the Peace Plaza throughout the year. The plaza is situated between two large hotels and close to the Mayo Clinic in the center of downtown. The outdoor plaza can be rented out for private events by local businesses and organizations as well. The space can accommodate up to 5,000 people and is expandable.
