Depot Adventures' Minneapolis Bar Tour

Spend three hours exploring a curated list of four of Minneapolis’ best bars. We won’t just be drinking there, we’ll be learning the story of the bar, meeting the bartender, and trying a new drink.

Once you’re settled in with your drink, I’ll have a story to share with you about what helped make this fascinating city what it is today.

The tour’s unnamed guest star is YOU. One third drinking, one third history and one third banter make this a thirst-quenching, educational, and social experience that has a little something for everybody.

Depot Adventures' Complete St. Paul Walking Tour

Whether you’re new to Minnesota or have been a lifetime resident, the secrets sitting in our capital city are sure to surprise you. Join an expert local guide as you explore the rags and riches of this incredible city — from the wealth Summit Hill neighbourhood, to the secret caves that stored illegal booze-making facilities, you’ll learn that there’s lot more to this city than meets the eye.

One Minute Tours

Depot Adventures offers walking tours of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, telling the stories of the Twin Cities we love so much. 

Originally founded by a Minnesotan in Australia, Depot now operates in both Minnesota and Melbourne, bringing a carefree Australian attitude to warm and welcoming small group tours.

Solar Sunday

Recommended for all ages
 

Sunspots, prominences, and flares…oh my! Stop by the Ruth and John Huss Observation Deck on your next trip to the Bell Museum and check out the Sun. We’ll have a variety of our solar telescopes out on our observation deck for safe solar viewing (weather permitting). With solar maximum expected in 2025 we’re already getting great views of activity on the Sun’s surface and in its atmosphere. So come on by and take a look at your closest star!

 

Seeing Birds Tour

Recommended for ages 12+
 

Explore the world of birds with Don Luce, Bell Museum Associate and retired Curator of Exhibits. In this guided tour of the Bell-produced temporary exhibition Seeing Birds, Don will highlight the Bell’s art collection, which includes works by John James Audubon and Francis Lee Jaques, as well as its history, in celebration of our 150th anniversary.

Planet Party 2022!

For two days only, get ready for one Moon, seven planets, and a dwarf planet! Summer is off to a great start as all seven planets join the Moon in the evening sky, along with everyone’s favorite dwarf planet Pluto. The Planetarium team will be setting up telescopes (weather permitting) outside to view this celestial lineup, so come by and take a look at our closest neighbors (seeing Pluto not guaranteed).

Minnesota Night Skies in July

The Perseids are back! Viewing this annual meteor shower is going to be a challenge this year so be sure to join us as we explore our summer night sky and give tips on how to see shooting stars from your own backyard (light pollution permitting).

Tune in to our Facebook Live on June 27, 12–12:30 pm, to catch this event!

Don’t forget to bring your questions, as we’ll save time for Q & A.
