The Foshay Tower Museum & Observation Deck offers visitors a chance to experience Minneapolis from a historic perspective. Located in the city's first skyscraper, this attraction combines architecture, history, and panoramic views. Many reviewers appreciate the 360-degree views of the city skyline and surrounding areas from the 30th-floor observation deck. The art deco design and preservation of the building's 1920s character are frequently mentioned as highlights.
The small museum provides interesting information about the building's history and its controversial creator, Wilbur Foshay. While some find the exhibits informative, others note that the museum portion is relatively brief and could benefit from more depth.
Visitors generally find the staff friendly and knowledgeable. The experience is often described as quick but worthwhile, with most guests spending about an hour exploring both the museum and observation deck. Some reviewers mention that the elevator ride to the top can be slow during busy times, which may lead to waits.
A common critique is the admission price, which some feel is a bit high for the brevity of the experience. However, many still consider it worthwhile for the unique views and historical insight.
Overall, the Foshay Tower Museum & Observation Deck is well-regarded for its combination of history and city views, making it a solid choice for those interested in Minneapolis's architectural heritage and skyline, despite some limitations in exhibit depth and potential wait times.
