Starting SoonSkyway & City of Minneapolis Walking Tour (Southwest)Trips, Tours & Special EventsMinneapolis 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. Highlights: Foshay Tower, IDS Center (tallest building in Minneapolis), Capella Tower, Wells Fargo Center, Target Arena, Government Plaza, Minneapolis City Hall, Minneapolis Public Service Building (public art collection), Nicollet Mall, The Dayton's Project, and the Mary Tyler Moore Statue Tour is limited to 12 people, so sign up before it sell out! Group begins and ends inside the Foshay Tower/W Hotel Lobby located at 821 Marquette Ave S. If class is sold out, please enroll for the waitlist.
