Looking for some family fun during holiday break? Here are a few ideas from the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum to cure "cabin fever" and even "burn off" a few calories. Arboretum buildings will close early Christmas Eve day (at 3 p.m.) and buildings and grounds will be closed entirely on Christmas Day—Tuesday, Dec. 25—but open the rest of the week. The holiday decor will still be up, the Restaurant open and lots of fun to be had. For more info, visit www.arboretum.umn.edu or call952-443-1400.
