Promenade sur la rivière Minneapolis : une visite audioguidée

Aperçu

Welcome to Minneapolis, the home of Nerf Balls, the singer and songwriter Prince, and, yes, Zubaz pants. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll stroll along the Mississippi River. Along the way, you’ll hear about:

• The history of the milling industry in Minneapolis
• The massive Washburn A Mill explosion of 1878
• The 35W Bridge collapse of 2007
• The secret history of "Funkytown"
• An ugly mansion with 86 TVs
• Cougar attacks
• The untimely death of Tiny Tim
• The hiring of a hitman in St. Paul
• ”Untalented but adventurous” German artists, to quote the author Jonathan Raban
• How long it takes a single drop of water to travel down the Mississippi – and how long it takes a person to make the same journey

This walking tour can be enjoyed on location or even virtually at home with VoiceMap's Continuous Play function which disables the GPS playback.

Tour recording was great. However the middle of the route (a bridge across the river) was closed. So we had to drive around to the other side and it wasn’t intuitive to get back on track.

We learned a lot, informative, self- paced. Good directions, enjoyed. It. The bridge was closed so we weren’t able to complete half the tour but that was no reflection of the tour.

We're sorry you couldn't finish the tour Sandra! If you have another opportunity, you have access to the tour for as long as you like – and you can also use it at home, with the virtual playback mode.
