3 Best Landmarks in Minneapolis, MN

This is a great place to go if you haven't visited a skyscraper yet! It is in an easy to reach location from paid parking, and it doesn't cost too much to go up the elevator. The museum part is pretty neat and has lots of pictures from back in the day. I really enjoyed the viewing platform, as it feels very secure, even if you're afraid of heights. They have those stationary binocular stations on each corner, which is a nice plus. Overall, if you're visiting downtown Minneapolis, I would 100% recommend stopping by here.

This place was amazing!! The view was gorgeous from the observation deck. It wasn’t busy at all, it was $15 per person which is not bat at all. The staff at the front desk were very polite, service was fast and they even gave us recommendations for more places to go since we were new in MN. It was very windy but still enjoyable, you definitely have to check it out. The lobby looked very nice and right next door there’s Manny’s steakhouse. Looking forward to going back and try it out.

The museum conveys the fascinating history of this beautiful landmark and the Foshay family. The observation deck is 100% safe and provides a 360° view of the city. It was a delightful experience and free for hotel guests. I don't know if it's free for all.

We had a fantastic time at the Mill City Museum in Minneapolis. It’s built right into the ruins of an old flour mill, which gives it a really unique and historic atmosphere. The museum does a great job of telling the story of how Minneapolis became the flour milling capital of the world. The Flour Tower ride was an awesome experience. It’s an elevator-style tour that stops at different levels and shows what life was like when the mill was running. There are a lot of hands-on exhibits, You can even learn about baking and water power in really interactive ways. rooftop observation deck—the views of the Mississippi River and the Stone Arch Bridge are absolutely. Convenient paid parking is available nearby.

Arrived at 10AM Sunday morning as they opened. Started with a very entertaining short film narrated by a local comedian on the history of Minneapolis and the mills. Took the Elevator to the observation platform 9 floors up led to an amazing view of the city, river and waterfall. We saw a demonstration about dust explosions and learned a lot about the displays from the volunteers. We really enjoyed our time here.

Fun museum with lots to look at and an amazing viewing deck. The elevator tour was quirky and enjoyable, only running about 10 minutes long, leaving lots of time to explore the rest of the museum. Everyone working there was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I'll definitely be back.
