Looking to get my kid out of the house for a couple of hours today. We tried the river road in town but he just sees parks and doesn’t understand why we can’t play. Any body have some suggestions not too far from Minneapolis?

Great idea but bring sanitizer. Facilities always seem to run out. Its a good idea even without the virus.
Instead of driving and looking at scenery, you might consider walking and looking at scenery. Safer, healthier, and happier for everyone
Go for a hike on the trails in Theo Wirth park or something? Just try to keep some distance between yourselves and other people.
Are the Theodore Wirth walking trails woodsy, and not as out in the open? Thinking of either going there or Minnehaha.
The ones I’ve been on are pretty woodsy.
edit: Also Cedar Lake near Lake of the Isles is a nice hike and is usually the least populated of the chain of lakes.
Franconia Sculpture Garden is still open, asking visitors to practice safe social distancing: https://www.franconia.org
Edit: the drive on 95 from Stillwater to the sculpture garden is really lovely too!
That’s a great idea.
Minnehaha parkway and Shepard road both have good views. They might still want to play...

You should be able to get out and walk around. Just stay away from other people.
North Shore is great right now. Not many people around. Bit further of a drive but it's worth it.
35 along the st croix in WI is a nice drive
