Although Minneapolis sits upon the Mississippi River and is known as the “City of Lakes,” the average Minneapolitan doesn’t put much thought into sightseeing via a cruise. It can be argued that many Minneapolis residents might not even be aware that the city has an accessible riverboat for public and private cruises for everyone to enjoy! The Minneapolis Queen and Paradise Lady riverboats are owned by Paradise Charter Cruises and are a delightful way experience the city built along the Mississippi.
The riverboats begin their cruise at Bohemian Flats Park, a perfect place to tour the city by the river.
One of their most popular cruises is the Happy Hour & Pizza Cruise, which is offered on Wednesdays and Thursdays during the summer, and Thursdays only in September and October.
This ride costs $30 for adults and $21 for kids. The ride includes a pizza buffet and the boat has a full bar with wonderful Happy Hour drink specials!
The Friday Night Dinner Cruise is perfect for a special occasion.
You can also take public cruises around Lake Minnetonka!
There are so many adventures in the Twin Cities that you may have missed, even if you grew up here! A lovely little river cruise is an excellent way to see the city from a whole different perspective. For more information, cruise schedules, and reservations (which are highly recommended), check out the Paradise Charter Cruise website.
