All Things Maple Syrup Around the Twin Cities
It's maple syrup season in the Twin Cities! Many nature reserves around our St. Paul homes for sale and Minneapolis homes for sale will host maple sugaring events in the next few weeks. Check out the events listed below to get a taste of the action (and the delicious maple syrup) yourself.

From 1 to 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, the Dodge Nature Center will host its annual Maple Syruping event. During your visit, you can watch the center's staff tap the maple trees, gather the sap, and then follow its journey through the evaporator to become maple syrup and sugar. You'll also get a chance to sample the delicious finished products. Tickets cost $8 per person, and you must register in advance to reserve your spot. - Maple Syruping in Your Backyard at Fort Snelling State Park - 101 Snelling Lake Road, St. Paul, MN 55111
Want to learn how to make your own maple syrup at home? The Fort Snelling State Park will host their Maple Syruping in Your Backyard event on March 17 from noon to 2 p.m. During this workshop, you'll learn how to tap the maple trees on your land, collect their sap, and turn that sap into real maple syrup. The event is free, but guests must pre-register by phone or email to attend. - Maple Syrup Making at the Eden Prairie Outdoor Center - 13765 Staring Lake Parkway, Eden Prairie, MN 55347

It's a great opportunity for people living near our Eden Prairie homes for sale to learn more about the area's past and the indigenous people who once lived here. Tickets cost $12 per family and must be purchased online at least one day before the date you want to attend. - Maple Syrup Fest at the Lowry Nature Center - 7025 Nature Center Drive, Victoria, MN 55386
