Excursão a pé pelo Skyway de Minneapolis
Descrição
Um grande passeio durante todo o ano, especialmente se você estiver visitando nos meses de inverno! Minneapolis é o lar do maior sistema de céu contínuo do mundo! Originalmente concebido para combater o boom suburban da década de 1950, revitalizando o núcleo de varejo da cidade, hoje os caminhos do segundo andar conectam 80 blocos da cidade e meander mais de 9 milhas. Esta é uma ótima maneira de ver a cidade - dentro e fora - durante o tempo frio, tempo quente, dias chuvosos e o inverno brutalmente longo de Minnesota, então praticamente durante todo o ano! Há tantos tesouros dentro da paisagem arquitetônica única do centro da cidade, e o sistema Skyway é às vezes a única maneira de vê-los. O tour termina no histórico Minneapolis Club, normalmente não aberto ao público. Escolhendo Mpls City & Skyway Tours, você está apoiando uma pequena empresa local, de propriedade de mulheres com um grande coração. (Por favor, note, este é um passeio a pé. Caminharemos até dois quilômetros, com pausas. Use sapatos confortáveis e traga água.)
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Subiremos para a calçada do segundo andar da Torre Foshay para começar o passeio. Chegamos em círculo inteiro, retornando à Torre Foshay no final do passeio onde você pode aproveitar a oportunidade de verificar a cidade do 31o andar do único deck de observação ao ar livre na cidade!
Caminhe para um dos céus originais, onde tudo começou.
Obra de arte do escultor de luz, Jason Krugman, e de vidro de Chihuly.
Grande coleção de arte pública
Este extraordinário município levou quase 20 anos para ser construído e, embora não esteja conectado ao sistema Skyway, está conectado a um túnel subterrâneo que usaremos para visitar a Corte Federal. Dentro da rotunda você terá a chance de esfregar o dedo grande da estátua do pai de água para boa sorte.
Edifício histórico do banco transformou hotel moderno. Elementos do lobby original ainda estão em seu lugar.
Este centro comercial de trânsito (strada) de milhas de comprimento que percorre o centro da cidade e, historicamente, o distrito comercial da cidade, é agora o lar de uma impressionante coleção de arte pública e alinhada por bares e restaurantes que fluem sobre as calçadas durante os meses de verão.
Jogue seu chapéu com Mary. Quem pode acender o mundo com seu sorriso?

Enjoyed our tour with Jessica, very interesting to learn more about Minneapolis. She is organized and answered our questions
Thank you both for choosing to spend some of your time with me in the skyways after your grand adventure! Smooth travels back to the West Coast!
We had a wonderful time on the Skyway Tour! It was fascinating to learn about the history of the skyway system and see how unique each connector is. We especially enjoyed all of the artwork along the route, which made the experience even more interesting. Jessica was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. She shared so many interesting facts and made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and unique way to explore the city!
Thank you, two, for being both engaged and engaging, and for sharing some of your own travel stories! Detroit and the Ann Arbor Art Fair are on the top of my list for next summer!
The Skyway tour was an excellent way to learn about Minneapolis and experience the longest Skyway in the world. Our guide Jessica was very knowledgeable about the past, present and future plans for the downtown region. She changed her tour so that we did not go outside because the air quality was poor. She also accommodated those of us who needed elevators instead of stairs. After the tour she provided a list of other things to see as well as restaurants we might like. I high recommend it. Wear good walking shoes!
Thank you, Kristina! I appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience. I wish you all the best in your new city. You'll be a Minnesotan in no time. :)
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.
