Exploration Day!<br />
Downtown Minneapolis<br />
Take part in a text-based scavenger hunt that will help you discover the hot spots in downtown<br />
Minneapolis. To participate, just text: “wwdowntown” to 728647 to get started! The places featured<br />
in the scavenger hunt <strong>and</strong> more are featured on the map.<br />
Getting to Downtown Minneapolis:<br />
East Bank Students: You will be leaving with your Welcome Week group from 4th Street SE in front of<br />
Mariucci Arena on the East Bank Campus.<br />
Bailey <strong>Hall</strong> Students: You will be leaving with your Welcome Week group from the St. Paul Student<br />
Center <strong>and</strong> will be dropped off at your <strong>Community</strong> Exploration location.<br />
Returning from Downtown Minneapolis:<br />
All students will pick up a shuttle bus back to campus where you were dropped off -<br />
8th Street South <strong>and</strong> 2nd Avenue South.<br />
• Please note that all returning buses will be taking students back to 4th Street SE on the East Bank<br />
campus. Students living in Bailey <strong>Hall</strong> will have to take the Campus Connector back to the St. Paul<br />
campus.<br />
• The last bus will depart from downtown Minneapolis at 4:00 p.m.<br />
Area Description<br />
Explore downtown Minneapolis, an area that is rich with entertainment opportunities. Check out iconic,<br />
historical hot spots such as R<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Foshay towers or find out where to get your tickets for a state-of–<br />
the-art sports facility such as Target Field or Target Center. Make sure to walk through the theatre district<br />
<strong>and</strong> see what’s playing at the State <strong>and</strong> Orpheum theatres or what the next concert is at <strong>First</strong> Avenue &<br />
7th St. Entry. After Welcome Week, catch Metro Transit buses 3, 6, or 16 to take you downtown.<br />
Downtown Facts!<br />
Minneapolis’ famed skyway system connecting 52 blocks (nearly<br />
five miles) of downtown makes it possible to live, eat, work <strong>and</strong><br />
shop without going outside.<br />
