The weekend hits, Christmas festivities have come and gone, and now... the kids are home from school, maybe there's family in town, and you've got nothing to do.

Don't worry! There are plenty of fun events that are happening around Rochester, MN this weekend to keep everyone entertained. I did the digging, so you don't have to.

I tried to find a variety of events that are coming up: some that are family-friendly, some that are more for the adults. So let's get into it!

Rochester, Minnesota Scavenger Hunt: A Minnesota Miracle - any time

There's a company called Let's Roam that puts together these fun scavenger hunts in different cities around the US. Right now, there's a Rochester one that you can partake in at any point this weekend!

You don't meet up with a guide or anything. How it works is you buy tickets online ($12.99 per person) to get access to the scavenger hunt. Then, you access the scavenger hunt on your phone. It'll take you to places all around Rochester, and you'll probably learn something about our city you never knew!

They say the total walking distance is about 1.57 miles, and it'll take about 1.5 hours to complete.
