Twin Cities River Rats Location offers a fun and unique way to enjoy the city on summer evenings. The water ski show is highly entertaining and a highlight of visitors' vacations to the Twin Cities area. Attendees can arrive early—about an hour or more—to secure good seating on a hill overlooking the river. It is recommended to bring chairs or a blanket, along with snacks and beverages, as food options are available for purchase, with proceeds supporting the River Rats. Parking is available nearby, including a dedicated lot for those with blue accessibility parking permits. Visitors should plan ahead for parking and arrive early to avoid missing out. The show features talented performers in colorful outfits, and during the event, volunteers collect donations, often dressed similarly. The location provides beautiful views of downtown Minneapolis amidst trees and grass, making it perfect for a walk along the river. While the site is generally enjoyable, some reviews mention the need for better upkeep, such as trimming shrubs and cleaning trash on the beach front. Overall, it’s a fantastic activity for families, couples, or anyone looking for a fun, memorable experience by the river.
