#15 - Twin Cities River Rats Show

The Twin Cities River Rats offers some of the best fun you can have on a Thursday night in Minneapolis. My husband and I went on Date Night, packing a picnic supper, but we could have just as easily brought the kiddos. The crowd was quite diverse in age. The free show was fantastic!

This year's theme is Mario Brothers, and they intersperse the amazing feats on water with funny little soundbites and scenes from the video game.

We arrived at 6 p.m. and got pretty good parking on West River Road just south of Broadway. At 6:30 p.m., the practice show starts -- the new members of the team get out on the water and start practicing. At 7 p.m., the full show begins.

There is quite a range in age of the skiers. The announcer told the audience that if you can swim, they will teach you the rest of what you need to know.

The skill of those on the water is impressive. Wow.

We are definitely going again!
