Austin is more widely known as Spam Town, as the manufacturer Hormel Foods produces most of North America’s tinned meat in the city. This fact brings with it an entire museum of its own, and the Spam Museum is one of the top tourist attractions in Minnesota. Austin is expanding its capacity as a meeting or convention venue too. Your business needs will be met here in a relaxed and friendly way, and not with the often hectic atmosphere of a bigger metropolis. There is an excellent business conference centre in the Holiday Inn on 4th Street.
There are a couple of other quirky museums here too. Try the Greibroks Mini History Farm, which holds over 700 model tractors, trucks and farm machines, all in miniature. There are several large shopping malls to visit, with the biggest being Oak Park Mall with over 20 outlets. You can get some really great deals on hotels in Austin, available here at EasyToBook.com.
