Welcome to Minnesota

The state of Minnesota is nicknamed Land of 10,000 Lakes. Bordered to the north by Canada and the southern tip of Lake Superior, Minnesota combines prairie, deciduous forest, and rugged coniferous forest wilderness landscapes. The Twin Cities, Minneapolis and state capital Saint Paul, are filled with historic landmarks from the time when the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers provided the region with water power and transport. As well as great urban shopping and dining opportunities, Minnesota is famous for outdoor adventures like canoe trips in the Boundary Waters wilderness, bike rides along the Mississippi, and scenic drives from the port city of Duluth along the Lake Superior shoreline.

My team had the pleasure of engaging Bitter Minnesota for our corporate event, and it was a fantastic experience. Touring various breweries was a blast, and the organization of the entire outing was impressively smooth. The Bitter Minnesota team really stands out for their service. I wholeheartedly endorse them for any type of event you're considering.

I bought my tickets through Cool Destinations , BIG MISTAKE. If you buy directly from Wabasha Caves the tickets are $10 cash or $11 credit/debit card. The tour itself is very interesting and cool, that deserves the four stars.

This was an absolutely fantastic tour due to our guide, Eric. He really make us feel welcome and ensured he understood our beer tastes so that he was able to provide great recommendations at all of the breweries that we visited. Eric is knowledgeable not only about beer but the history and local neighborhoods. It felt like nothing was too much trouble for him. He spent lots of time interacting so that at the end of the night we felt as though we had made a new friend. So much so in fact, that we are hoping that he will come pay us a visit in our neck of of the woods. Take the tour, you won’t regret it!
Enjoyed the guide. He...

Half of the family was into the mystery and the others were not. We enjoyed the “tour” of Stillwater just the same while solving the murder!

The tour was very nice in that we learned a lot about Minnesota history. We didn’t realize that MN had a significant amount of involvement when it came to gangsters in this era. Our tour guide was informative and kept things going and fun throughout the full tour. We were disappointed in that there was supposed to be brochures…but this never happened. I love to review and when I have had a good experience I like to share it with others. They also gave priority to getting on the bus to those that toured the caves prior to the bus tour. We didn’t feel this was fair. A ticket is a ticket! The bus tour when I purchased the tickets was separate and not an option to take the cave tour.
Amazing family day!
