Recorrido a pie por el Skyway de Minneapolis
Descripción
Un gran tour durante todo el año, especialmente si vas de visita en los meses de invierno! ¡Minneapolis es el hogar del sistema de cielos más grande y contiguo del mundo! Originalmente diseñado para contrarrestar el boom suburbano de la posguerra de 1950 revitalizando el núcleo minorista de la ciudad, hoy en día las pasarelas de la segunda planta conectan 80 manzanas de la ciudad y serpentean más de 9 millas. Esta es una gran manera de ver la ciudad - por dentro y por fuera - durante el clima frío, el tiempo caluroso, los días de lluvia y el invierno brutalmente largo de Minnesota, ¡así que prácticamente todo el año! Hay tantos tesoros dentro del paisaje arquitectónico único del centro, y el sistema de horizontes a veces es la única manera de verlos. El TOUR DE LA TARDE termina en el histórico Minneapolis Club, que normalmente no está abierto al público. Al elegir Mpls City & Skyway Tours, usted está apoyando a una pequeña empresa local, propiedad de mujeres, con un gran corazón. (Tenga en cuenta que este es un recorrido a pie. Caminaremos hasta dos millas, con descansos. Use zapatos cómodos y traiga agua.)
Opciones de la excursión
Itinerario
Ascenderemos a la pasarela del segundo piso desde la Torre Foshay para comenzar el recorrido. Volvemos a la Torre Foshay al final del recorrido, donde se puede aprovechar la oportunidad de visitar la ciudad desde el piso 31 de la única plataforma de observación al aire libre de la ciudad!
Entra en uno de los horizontes originales, donde todo comenzó.
Obra de arte por el escultor de luz, Jason Krugman, y cristalería por Chihuly.
Gran colección de arte público.
Este extraordinario Ayuntamiento tardó casi 20 años en construirse y, aunque no está conectado al sistema de horizontes, está conectado a un túnel subterráneo que usaremos para visitar el Palacio de Justicia Federal. Dentro de la rotonda tendrás la oportunidad de frotar el dedo gordo del pie de la estatua del Padre de las Aguas para la buena suerte.
Edificio bancario histórico convertido en hotel moderno. Elementos del vestíbulo original todavía están en su lugar.
Este centro comercial de tránsito de una milla de largo (calle) que atraviesa el centro del centro, e históricamente el distrito comercial de la ciudad, ahora es el hogar de una impresionante colección de arte público y está bordeado por bares y restaurantes que se desbordan en las aceras durante los meses de verano.
Tira tu sombrero con Mary. ¿Quién puede encender el mundo con su sonrisa?
Cambio de nombre de Dayton
Crystal Court en el IDS Center es el corazón del sistema de horizontes de Minneapolis. ¡El IDS todavía tiene el título de más alto, desde 1972!

We enjoyed this tour very much. We were impressed with Jessica's knowledge and found the skyway system to be very interesting. Beautiful buildings too!
Thank you, Janet! It was a pleasure to meet all of you and I so enjoyed our conversations in the skyway. I hope you enjoyed the last bit of your visit and are returning home with fond memories of Mpls! :)
Using the Skyway was intimidating to me before this tour! But Jessica made it totally doable for this senior woman! She used lovely old photos to place each stop on the tour in its historical context. She really does make a tour feel like you’re hanging out with a friend who just happens to be very knowledgeable about the city she loves!
It was so lovely to meet you and to be a part of the connections you are making in the city! I'm so glad you are taking the time to really get to know Minneapolis and I hope you will get to call it home in the near future! Thank you!
Jessica is a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. She knows and loves the city and that shows in how she runs the tour. It is a relaxed walk through the skyways with Jessica giving so much context and history on all that you see. I highly recommend this tour!
Thank you, Lori! I so enjoyed meeting you and appreciate that you seek out women-owned businessess (I do, too!). You created a great itinerary for your visit - I hope you enjoy every minute!
Jessica did a wonderful job of keeping an easily distracted group of women focused on stories about the history of the skywalk system in Minneapolis. She provided great stories of the system, as well as information about the architecture and stories of the buildings that connect them. we walked about 2 1/2 miles through the system and took a short tram ride to the rest of the skywalk before ending back where we started. I wish we had been able to do this walk at the beginning of our visit instead of the finish. But we had to do the walk when it was available. FYI, she provides a discount card for the Foshay observation deck, and museum which unfortunately we paid full price for the day we got there.
It was a wonderfully chatty group! I loved all the interesting questions and conversation along the way. :) Thank you both for making my tour a part of your visit! I hope all went well on your return home to WA!
We were in town on business and decided to take this tour on our day off, which was our last day in town. We should have done it the first day. So much great information that we would have used while exploring in between meetings. It was well worth it. Jessica is engaging and knowledgeable, and she loves her city. We now have some insider knowledge for our next trip out there.
Thank you for choosing to spend your day off with me! :) I know the conference kept you busy but it sounded like you got to see quite a bit of what Mpls has to offer over the course of the week. I wish you well in Durham!
Jessica gave us a terrific tour of the Minneapolis Sky. It was our first introduction to Minneapolis and she gave us a wonderful overview of the downtown area and history of the city. She is very personable and curious and geared the tour to our interests and background. She has created a unique experience for visitors to a city she knows and loves and shares her remarkable background in history, architecture, art and city planning. Highly recommended!
Thank you Jessica and Eric! I loved your reason for choosing Mpls and thoroughly enjoyed all of the conversation we had along the way. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit to the city!
Very interesting tour and unique way to see Minneapolis. Jessica is so knowledgeable and personable. Mostly inside so great to do in any weather.
Thank you, Colleen! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit to Minnesota and that you found your way up to Voyageurs and that is sparked your National Parks sisters adventure! Smooth travels.
Jessica is a very good tour guide, she is very knowledgeable and provides so many insights and details about the history of Minneapolis. Highly recommended!
Thank you, Nadja! I hope you enjoyed Cinderella and the rest of Julia's visit. I always appreciate when a local chooses my tour (you're local now :)).
She point out that Minnesota is leading states in wild rice producing. Jessica was very knowledgeable. Although I Failed my history class in school with a F grade. Jessica help bring life back in history for me. Thank you.
It was a pleasure to show you around during your visit to Minneapolis! I always like to hear what people learned along the way. I wish you smooth travels wherever you go next!
My daughters and I had a great time. We wanted something to do before our flight left later that day. And, the tour was informative, fun, and right two (2) hours. The tour guide even texted us to make sure that we made our flight. :-)
Thank you, Dwight! It was my pleasure to meet you and your daughters. I think you did a great job of planning your time in Minneapolis and thank you for including my skyway tour! I was happy to hear you made it safe and sound, and on time to the gate! :) Smooth travels.
