Of course we had to visit the Observation Deck at the top of the Foshay Tower.

As guests of the W Hotel Minneapolis, we had free entrance to the museum and lookout. Usually, it costs $8 to get up there.

The Observation Deck is above the word “Foshay” and traces a path all the way around the building.

It was bright and sunny, a perfect warm spring day.

According to all the literature back in the museum, you’re supposed to be able to see for 30 miles on a clear day.

I don’t know that we could see that far. We did, though, get a bird’s eye view into the new baseball stadium that’s going up at the edge of downtown.

And I did catch this full-length reflection of the Foshay Tower in the office building next door. This shot looks away from downtown Minneapolis.
