Cosmos, MN

Cosmos is a quiet Meeker County town with a fun, out-of-this-world theme. You will notice it right away when exploring the neighborhoods, where streets carry names like Milky Way, Saturn, and Pluto. Outdoor enthusiasts also get a great perk right in their backyard: Cosmos serves as the western trailhead for the Luce Line State Trail. The trail stretches more than 60 miles east toward the Twin Cities, offering a scenic path for biking, walking, horseback riding, and snowmobiling.

The highlight of the summer is the annual Cosmos Space Festival in July, which brings everyone together for a weekend of parades, fireworks, park cookouts, softball tournaments, and tractor pulls. Day to day, life in Cosmos is peaceful and rooted in central Minnesota farm country, offering a friendly, close-knit atmosphere and plenty of wide-open space.
