DOWNTOWN.   Taking advantage of an island that sprang up in the Mississippi in the early 20th century, this park offers a variety of attractions. Among them are the Mississippi River Museum, which tracks both the river's development and the culture and towns that grew up along its route. Also intriguing is River Walk, a scale model of the Mississippi's path, which allows visitors to follow its southern section in a manageable 5-block area. An amphitheater attracts top names in music, a monorail offers fun overviews of the area, and bike and pedal boat rentals provide energetic folks the chance to venture further afield. Restaurants and gift shops are also available on the 52-acre island.   (© 10Best)
