Evening Mississippi River Cruise

Evening Mississippi River Cruise is a scenic drive up and down the banks of the Mississippi River aboard the historic Minneapolis Trolley, delivering a one-of-a-kind tour experience! — no boats, no docks, just front-row seats to the river’s most compelling landmarks illuminated after dusk.

Journey south along the eastern riverbank, then glide back north along the west, tracing the pulse of Minneapolis’s riverfront history. Along the way, you’ll take in unforgettable icons including the Lighthouse, Clock Tower, the shimmering metal facade of the Weisman Art Museum, and the timeless arches of the Stone Arch Bridge. You may also spot the legendary Grain Belt Beer sign, the bold red letters of the Pillsbury Best Flour sign, and the towering silhouette of the Foshay Tower rising like an obelisk over the city.

This low-key evening cruise is designed for curious minds who appreciate architecture, hidden history, and skyline magic without loud crowds or choppy waters. Perfect for tourists, date night, and Minneapolitans who want to see the riverfront again for the first time. Relax into your seat, and rediscover the Mississippi riverfront through stories, sights, and unexpected surprises.
