At Lead Venture you get to enjoy the best of both worlds. Our campus is located in one of the suburbs of Minneapolis and downtown is about 20 minutes away. Popular features in the area include:
Mall of America – Oh you know, only the biggest mall in the nation! Complete with a sea world, an amusement park, tons of great places to eat, and, of course, the stores themselves.
Snowboarding, Skiing, and Tubing – There are several ski and snow boarding resorts in Minnesota, and one right outside of Minneapolis located in the town of Bloomington.
Ice Skating – This is an activity that you will want to experience in Minnesota. Centennial Lakes’ beautiful 10 acre lake is indeed a magical recreation in the winter time, especially when lights are lit up on the trees at night.
