Nothing says “Summer” quite like a day at the beach! If you and your family are looking for a stretch of sand to enjoy this season, check out our list of the most popular beaches in and around St. Michael-Albertville.
Note: Before you go, be sure to check park websites as beaches frequently close temporarily for maintenance or issues related to water quality.
With summer vacation coming soon, those calendars are already starting to fill up! Make sure to leave room this year for your kids to attend a Vacation Bible School or other day camp at one of our great local churches!
Here’s a list of programs happening in our area in summer 2023, sorted by date. Some of them are free, but all require pre-registration. See links for full details.
Town Center Park burst onto the STMA park scene a few years ago, turning an empty patch of land into one of the most popular summer spots in St. Michael!
Located just outside the St. Michael City Center, this park is a destination in itself or an easy stop following a trip to Cub Foods, the library, church, or the nearby McDonald’s.
The park is clean and well-kept, with a large playground and plenty of green space for running around in. The playground itself is fun and creative, with some stellar features like a double zipline and a huge, climbable merry-go-round. But the biggest draw here, in my opinion, is the brand-new splash pad!
It’s “birthday season” in our house, which means my kids are buzzing with ideas about how to celebrate. Luckily, the STMA area has a huge variety of options when it comes to birthday party venues.
We’ve put together a list of 20+ great places to host your kid’s birthday party—whether you have an athlete or an artist, a nature lover or a ninja! All of these venues are within a 30-minute drive and are sorted loosely by distance from St. Michael-Albertville. (Prices listed are current as of October 2025.)
