Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Getaway

Independent 3-day Amtrak getaway to Minneapolis and St. Paul

Amtrak Vacations offers this 3-day, 2-night getaway to Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. The self-guided trip starts and ends in the Twin Cities. The package includes a sightseeing city tour of Minneapolis/St. Paul and admission to the SEA LIFE Aquarium, a million-gallon aquarium with a wide range of sea creatures. Travelers can also use their time to visit the nearby Mall of America and the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, home of the Spoonbridge and Cherry fountain. Rail travel is not included in the from-price and is booked separately. This suits independent travelers and families who want a short, budget-friendly city break built around a couple of easy attractions rather than a packed schedule of guided touring.
