A big part of living independently and achieving goals is living a life that is full of opportunities that build community. To that end, we love to explore activities that are enjoyable, fun, get individuals out of the house, and connect to others. We customize these activities to the interests of the individuals we support and our overall community. Here you will find some of the connections our dreamlifers have already experienced and more to come in the future. Join us and add your interest to our collection of fun times and community!
TWINS GAMES | Season Tickets
DreamLife Destiny has season tickets to the Twins. Our 20 game package allows us to take individuals to the games with other DreamLifers and Destiny Associates, meet new people, experience the stadium effect, enjoy some food and beverages, and have a rollicking good time.
ACT SIDE BY SIDE CHORUS | Connect and Partner
We partner with ACT, Advocating Change Together, with their monthly Side by Side Chorus. Enjoy a meal, sing freedom and advocacy songs, and move and dance to the music! It's a rollicking good time for all.
DISABILITY ADVOCACY | Be Heard
Join us at the Capitol or at a protest. Testify in the rotunda or march in the street. Help improve legislation. Participate in ACT's Disability Power Day! Bring your voices and your signs. Be present and advocate for yourself and others no matter where we go. It's about being seen and heard. It's about making a difference for you and others.
CONCERTS | Music + More
We enjoy taking individuals to their favorite or new artists concerts. So far we have attended a Jellyroll Concert and a Styx Concert both at Mystic Lake Casino. If an individual we support has a favorite concert they wish to attend, we support them throughout the event.
SPORTS | Major and Minor Events
We have attended multiple sporting events and activities with our individuals including baseball, bowling, wrestling, swimming, fitness, and hockey. If you have a specific sport you enjoy, we'd be happy to help you plan and support you throughout the event.
SHOWS | Theater + Movies
DreamLifers have enjoyed theater events including most recently a live showing of Hairspray and a variety of movies. We are always up for a new theater experience or a good movie. It is fascinating how much theater and movies can communicate and help support individuals in their quest to understand the world.
OUTDOORS | Activities
Outings to parks have included Independence Day picnics and carnivals, fishing, hikes and nature walks. We are always up for exploring the great outdoors.
SHOPS | Malls + More
Malls aren't just for shopping any more. There's great food, entertainment, spas, and more. We've explored Northtown, Mall of America, Ridgedale, Rosedale, and Riverdale. There's a lot more to discover in the Twin Cities!
SEASONAL EVENTS | Celebrations

STATE FAIR | Fun For All
Thre geat Minnesota Get Together is for everyone. Whether it's food on a stick, a grandstand show, or playing games in the Midway. We are here to support you throughout the event. Last year we accompanied a number of people to the Fair and look forward to more adventures this coming year.
