- For a winter proposal, a snowy park is a great start but if you’re really smart you’ll go to the ice castles. Bonus points again if she’s sitting on Elsa’s throne next year!

- Since it is Minnesota, you can’t discount the many lakes like Minnetonka, surrounded by cute towns and parks with many epic spots. You could also head out on the water for a chartered or private ride.
