Just went for the first time! I'd never been rock climbing before, and they have a good system to…read moreteach you how to clip into the auto belay. It does take a few tries to get used to the auto belay, but it is fun after! The staff here are super good at answering any questions and giving you tips on how to stretch. I'd definitely visit again!

I purchased a customized group outing here as a Christmas gift to my 11 nieces and nephews and we…read morehad a BLAST! Our instructors. Ellie and Ella made sure we're kept safe and having fun the entire 2 hours of rock wall climbing and swinging. This is my 2nd time to request a group outing and they make the experience so easy. First, I filled out an online form stating my expected group size and requested date(s). Within a day, a nice gentleman called me back to set expectations and told me which dates and times were available. I then called back the third day to finalize everything. They answered all of my questions quickly and I just had to put a $50 deposit to hold my reservation. Once we arrived, each kid got a wristband so the instructors could easily find which kids belong in our group. Then, we all got a harness and they began a 10-15 minute introductory lesson on how to climb using the auto-belays. They offered to manually belay us, but we all preferred the auto-belays. I settled the bill after the event finished, and it was $30 per person as advertised. Pro Tip: don't forget to bring cash! I gave the instructors cash tips as there was no way to add tip to the credit card transaction. I loved their auto-belay systems. It makes climbing so easy and I felt safe belaying down from the very top. I especially love the Minneapolis location because of the abundance of natural lighting in each climbing area. I'd love to buy a 10 visit pass next time for my family to share as it's a fun way to burn some calories.

I signed up for Xelia's level 1 class not knowing what to expect. A friend and I joked we could…read morehave a lot of fun, or it could be like 10-weeks of gym class from hell. Gym class for me was trying to stealth to the back of the line until class ran out. I was not, and still am not, terribly coordinated. But, Aerial arts seemed like a great way to build core, and a pretty unique hobby to boot. First day of class, we trained on three apparatuses: web (basically rope from gym class); tissue (sort of like climbing on mom's curtains); and trapeze (at about 4.5' rather than atop a giant circus tent). There's no slow move into Aerial arts: we will get strong and do circus. (Xelia's motto: Get strong, Have fun, Do Circus) Yesterday was session 4 of the 10-week session. I'm sore today and likely will be for the next few days. I left class yesterday accomplishing moves I couldn't do at my last class. I finished moves I struggled with at the beginning of last night's class. That is worth all the sore muscles today. Classes at Xelia's are meant to be taken on repeat. Session I is a mix of new students and returning. We rotate in small groups among 3 coaches who spot us and offer encouragement. It's physically demanding, and if you're like me, not too keen on heights, pushes comfort zones. I am excited re-evaluate my limitations as I progress.

Began taking the beginner's aerial session about a month ago. Am impressed. The teacher's are great…read moreand the space is fun to work in. The classmates are friendly and interesting. While being supportive, everyone is coming from a variety of places in life and ages. I like it enough that I signed up for the upcoming Spring session. It's a crazy good workout. My arms are sore- but getting more accustomed to it all.

In Minnesota Vikings do not raid shorelines by the ocean; instead they raid NFL games off the green…read moreshoreline of a 4.2 acre park that bridges their home ship US Bank Stadium to the rest of downtown Minneapolis. Where the Minnesota Vikings do their 100 percent all to raid their way to hard-won well-deserved victories through sheer determination and fovus, locals and visitors do their best to raid their way from pressure with quality of life victories visiting parks like this one. I was one of those visitors when I saw it at least three times. Placed on two city blocks of greenery bridging US Bank Stadium to the Edition Building with the rest of downtown, it is truly the Promenade of US Bank Stadium. In place of a massive parking lot fronting the NFL Stadium is a picturesque green lawn overlooking overlooking it. When I walked in the southern section of downtown, the walks led me through The Commons. My walks here included exploring the skyway to near its southernmost point that dropped me off nearby, passing through it to and from a walk inside and around US Bank Stadium, walking the city streets towards US Bank Stadium, and passing through on Portland Street from the Mississippi River to the downtown core. From my firsthand experiences here, my favorite activity was taking in the green carpet of grass interspersed with young trees leading to the US Bank Stadium. From the northernmost reaches of the park at the Edition Building I enjoyed it over a cup of Starbuck's. From the opposite direction on the US Bank Stadium steps, I enjoyed the picturesque view of this linear carpet of grass leading towards the Downtown skyline. If I had not been saving my appetite for dinner, I would have enjoyed eating the food that the sundry of food trucks parked on Forth Street serve. Every time that I arrived here was by foot. However at the southwest corner of the park is US Bank Metro Station. From here you can ride the Metro for a reasonable price to a few downtown Minneapolis stations, City of St. Paul, Mall of America, and other stops. If I was tired it is nice to know that it is off The Metro Blue and Green Lines. You can bank on it that the park overlooking US Bank Stadium is a nice outdoor place to visit when seeing the southern section of downtown Minneapolis. The Commons does a fantastic job giving locals and visitors an outdoor space to celebrate the Minnesota Vikings and the city's parkland. I recommend seeing it.

The Commons is a lovely new park right downtown across from the newly remodeled US Bank stadium,…read morenewly built Edition apartments and Wells Fargo Bank towers. The downtown east area is just being revamped left, right, and center. On a beautiful day during the week it is the perfect place to grab a bite to eat from one of the rotating food trucks and sit out on the open patios. The open landscape is very inviting as you can see the downtown city skyline at every angle. After work and on the weekend you see teams playing games, people walking their dogs or others just lounging. As I have observed it serves many purposes and it is definitely a place people will continue to enjoy as a new green space downtown.
