Scott County, Minnesota

Scott County is just southwest of the Twin Cities. Shakopee, the county seat, is home to Valleyfair, the largest amusement park in the Upper Midwest. Thrill-seekers love it here. But there’s more to Scott County than roller coasters.
It’s got a rich history, with places like the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community sharing their culture through powwows and their impressive Mystic Lake Casino. The Minnesota River forms its northern border.
Farms are all over the landscape, keeping the area’s agricultural roots alive. You’ll find apple orchards, pumpkin patches, and even a few wineries. It’s a place with suburban convenience and rural people.
