The Viking Jr. Motel sits on the main north-south artery of Saint Peter, Minnesota Avenue, placing it an easy walk to quite a few local attractions. Head north for 15-20 minutes on foot, and you'll be right in the heart of the city's charming, historic downtown. There, you can check out unique local shops, have a coffee at River Rock Coffee or pay a visit to the Arts Center of Saint Peter. The walk is very flat and safe, and it provides a nice little slice of small-town Minnesota life.
Amenities: Dining-The Property has a few good options within walking distance. Local favorites serving Mexican and/or Chinese within a 10-15 minute walk, and several fast food chains for a quick meal within the same time- that’s very convenient. That’s a really nice plus for people traveling and wish to park the car for the night and have a nice “drive free” dinner. And a full grocery store is within that distance perfect for stocking up the in-room refrigerator.
A key walking destination is the pretty campus of Gustavus Adolphus College. A 20-minute walk will get you there from the motel. There, you can take in lovely grounds, inclusive of The Arboretum, walking trails and very nice gardens. Outdoor recreation; a good ten-minute walk leads to the nearby Saint Peter Community disc golf course is a lot of fun and free to play.
