SHAKOPEE, Minn. – The Minnesota Wild, along with Bally Sports North and Minnesota Hockey, today announced that Hockey Day Minnesota 2025, presented by UnitedHealthcare, will take place at the Valleyfair Amusement Park in Shakopee.

“This is becoming so much more exciting!,” said Hockey Day Minnesota 2025 Chair Matthew Underwood. “To be able to announce that Valleyfair, an iconic Shakopee destination, will be our hosts for Hockey Day Minnesota 2025, and to see our official 2025 brand emerging, adds to the growing anticipation of our community.”

Open in 1976, Valleyfair is home to over 75 rides and attractions including eight roller coasters and their Soak City water park. Valleyfair is the Twin Cities’ amusement park where families and people of all ages can go play during the summer months.
