Just relocated to Sartell, Mn (St. Cloud, Sauk Rapids: salon, rentals, theater)

[Swkr2be]

We just relocated about a week ago when my husband landed a new job at St. Cloud Hospital. Were originally born and raised from Ohio. The coldness wont bother us too much and well they never take care of their snow down there not like i see they do up here but we seen that over a week ago. Any advice or anyone from sartell? My husband and I have only been married a year so no children yet. Any tips on resteraunts or places to visit please let us know since we dont know anyone here yet. Thanks in advance!

We used to live up in St Cloud; Sartell is a nice area. However, I don't know too much about Sartell itself...it's a good place to live but a not much to do type of atmosphere. It's definitely a good place to raise kids, if that's in your plans one day, and it's a place for people who want a quiet life and spend most weekends up at a cabin/lake.

Here's what the city has on their website: City of Sartell - Visitors Guide

Things like Riverside park in St Cloud are nice places to hang out Riverside.
I'd recommend visiting the Munsinger and Clemens gardens MCBS: The Gardens.
For a nice place to eat try Anton's in Waite Park Anton's Restaurant Antons St Cloud Restaurants Waite Park MN - Home and I've heard great things about Cafe Renaissance The Cafe Renaissance. My husband and I have yet to go but we will next time we're up there. (They even have a band or musician serenading tables on the weekend, I hear.) Also, if you like Asian food buffets, one of our all-time favorites is China Star off of Division St in Waite Park. I don't know why but it's just great.
If you're into Baseball, the MN Baseball Hall of Fame is in St Cloud, too.
There are annual events in Sartell, Sauk Rapids and St Cloud that are fun and great places to meet other people.

I know, not much to share, but I hope it was somewhat helpful!

Thank you, this is exactly what i was looking for! I added to your reps. I guess what i should have titled this as was Saint Cloud since we noticed we pretty much go there for things anyways, thank you though this was great!

If you like pizza, Godfather's has a pretty good buffet
Guadalajara's is the best Mexican in St Cloud i think
Chinese, I think its called the great wall buffet in the strip mall by ciruit city
I've heard rumors of a good thai place on hwy 10 just south of 23 but i've never been

I'm glad it helped (thanks for the reps!).
I also thought of Heritage Nature Center, if you and your husband and into the outdoors. They host some fun activities for people who like that type of stuff. We purchased the membership and they give free canoe rentals and snowshoe rentals along with free admission to the activities and member appreciation days with food. It's also a great place to meet people.

I thought of another place we liked to eat, Mongo's Grill. Mongos Grill - Where Healthy Eatin' Is In The Bowl!

And every girl needs a good spa/salon; I can't forget to mention La Dolce Vita. La Dolce salone&spa ... the sweet life. Downtown St Cloud (broken link)

Gary's Pizza in St. Joe and Bo Diddley's Subs in St. Joe!!!!

There are also a lot of free movies and events over at St. Ben's and St. John's so keep an eye on their websites for things going on there (and at St. Cloud State). The Minnesota Orchestra usually plays at St. Ben's. THey have a fantastic theater series there too.
