Here in Minnesota, there are enough activities to keep you busy every day of the year. From museums to restaurants to local events, there’s always entertainment to be found. But sometimes, these commonplace activities can feel a little stale. That’s when it’s time to seek out more unique adventures. There is perhaps none more unique than Gondola Romantica, a scenic gondola ride in Stillwater, Minnesota. Next time you’re looking for a new activity to try, look no further than this beautiful tour of the St. Croix River.
If you love to be outside, you'll love a trip along the St. Croix River with Gondola Romantica! Catch a ride in Stillwater, right outside of the Dock Cafe.
These gondolas come with an expert gondolier, so you'll be able to glide across the river's smooth water without a care. It's perfect for a romantic excursion or simply a fun time with family or friends.
Guests are free to bring food and beverages - including alcohol - during their ride. Make it a special night by packing a picnic and a bottle of wine. It'll turn your excursion into something you won't soon forget!
The gondola rides are not just a way to spend time outdoors on the river. It's also a way to see the sights of Stillwater! The historic bridge makes for a lovely backdrop, especially when it's lit up at night.
The bridge is beautiful, and so is the natural scenery! This area of the St. Croix is bordered by trees. It's especially gorgeous when the leaves start to change!
Gondola Romantica offers rides from noon to midnight throughout Minnesota's warm seasons. Depending on your package, it costs around $100 for a ride. For an experience as unique as this, it's money well spent!
