Minneapolis Skyway Walking Tour

Minneapolis Skyway Walking Tour
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
A great tour year-round, especially if you're visiting in the winter months! Minneapolis is home to the largest, contiguous skyway system in the world! Originally designed to counter the 1950s post war suburban boom by revitalizing the city's retail core, today the second story walkways connect 80 city blocks and meander more than 9 miles. This is a great way to see the city - inside and out - during cool weather, hot weather, rainy days and the brutally long Minnesota winter, so pretty much year-round! There are so many treasures within downtown's unique architectural landscape, and the skyway system is sometimes the only way to see them.
AFTERNOON TOUR ends at the historic Minneapolis Club, not typically open to the public.
Choosing Mpls City & Skyway Tours, you are supporting a local, woman-owned small business with a big heart.
(Please note, this is a walking tour. We will walk up to two miles, with breaks. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water.)
