It's a great small park with a lovely fountain near the heart of St Paul, MN. It has wonderful Events going on for both Kids and Adults year round! It's surrounded by the well known Historic St Paul Hotel, the newly renovated St Paul Library, Herbie's on the Park Restaurant, the amazing Ordway (Theater) Center for Performing Arts & St Paul's permanent "Castle" the lovely Landmark Center! This year - 2018 - We came Together to Celebrate our First Downtown "Ice Castle" since the the last one built back in 2004 for the All Star Hockey Games which like the Super Bowl this year fell on/or near our Greatly Celebrated MN Winter Carnival!! This last year - 2017 - I was able to catch several events here in Rice Park. I hope you all enjoy the photos. I myself have had a great time every time I join in the events here in this park!!

Winter 2021--Rice park is always a nice visit, as a central point of St Paul. They put lights on the trees this year, but it's pretty vanilla, and due to Covid the ice rink a block away isn't up as it's been in past years. Several plaques and statues to see and get some history. The St Paul Hotel across the street looks very festive with lights on all the trees in front, and the lights and greenery done up along the sidewalk on the backside. Not many decorations and lights to see downtown this year, kind of disappointing, but I recommend going to Summit Ave a mile away, and driving the length to see all the decorated houses on both sides, including the Governor's mansion! And, I see the high Smith St bridge looks beautiful with it's lights and the snow!

Rice Park is a really fun place to visit in St Paul, we had to be there several times for the last 2 years because the Roy Wilkins auditorium is right next to it and we had to take several Covid tests. But the park is always fun, during summer its a great place to sit down and read or head to the library right next, during winter there is the winter festival and during christmas it has great lighting.

Rice Park is one of my favorite places to go in the winter because of the winter carnival and the ice sculptures this year especially I decided to visit and it character that I recreate normally during Renaissance. Needless to say the response went over very well because it was not expected. As a result I was able to bring a smile to everyone that I met and took pictures with.

Nicely redesigned park, vibrantly alive with the St. Paul Winter Carnival. Tree lighting tonight. Boom!
