IKEA Minneapolis is the local store of a well-known and respected Swedish chain that provides ready-to-assemble furniture and housewares. It has other products as well, such as pet beds, rugs and other woven wares, and home electronics. But wait! There's more. There are toys for kids, sofas & sectionals, candle holders & candles, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

One of the fun parts of shopping at IKEA is seeing all the (naturally) Swedish names for the products and trying to figure out what they mean. Another fun part is that there are different clubs/groups such as IKEA Kids Cooking Club (IKEA Family only), LEKA Kids Club: critter crate (IKEA Family only), and Summer Storage Event: Charm your FRAKTA.

When you're tired after a full day of shopping and fun events you can visit IKEA Restauraunt or IKEA Swedish Bistro. Both have plenty of tasty dishes that will keep your stamina up. In the restaurant, there is the classic Swedish meatballs, Orange Elderflower Miso Glazed Salmon, Chipotle Lime Salmon, and Marinated Salmon. They also have desserts such as Swedish apple cake.

The bistro has more casual fare such as pizza, hot dogs, and ice cream.
