Visiting from Hawaii!…read more This gift shop is a must for anyone visiting Minnesota! They have a great selection to choose from. You're bound to find something for everyone back home. Magnets, chocolates, photo frames, post cards, cards, puzzles, clothing, tumblers.... The list goes on. Minneso-tah.... I'm gonna give you guys a high five on the Spam merchandise! That just made me feel a little bit at home. Thank you for having that here hehe. It was a pleasant surprise. If you read this, treat yourself to a spam musubi. You'll love it. I bought a bunch of awesome things here! It was hard for me to let go of the things I bought and give them to family and friends. I wanted so desperately to keep everything for myself! So many cute and cool things! Maybe I'll pretend I didn't buy any souvenirs for anyone and hide them in my closet... Mwahaha Btw we loved the employee who helped us that day. Young, tall, handsome gentleman with curly hair. He was sweet and helpful! I learned a new life lesson: When in MN, do not refer to casserole as casserole. It's hotdish!

Such a great store for gifts! Was pleasantly surprised to see items from local artists and other…read morelocal products. From getting some chili mix and Minnesota wild rice soup mix for my parents to a t-shirt for my nephew and a glazed coffee mug for my grandma. So glad I stopped here before flying home for the holidays. Everyone loved the gifts and also picked up a scarf that was the perfect price and really high quality. Have to come back for other gifts and just see what they have new in stock.

This is pretty much your standard gift shop with a bit of a rustic, Minnesotan twist. My trip to…read moreMinnesota thus far has consistently of getting lost in Downtown Minneapolis and visiting Mall of America, so I haven't seen really any of the abundant wildlife that the state holds. However, it seems like the gifts in this shop pay a fair homage to it. In addition to having gifts, they also had Minnesota snacks and other trinkets that hail from the state. My purchases consisted of two fridge magnets, some postcards, and two masks, all of which ran me $30, which seems to be right in between steep and reasonable.

There are at least three, maybe four Minnesota gift shops for tourists in the MOA. This one has a…read moresimilar selection to the others: lots of clothing options (short sleeve, long sleeve, sweatshirts, hats, beanies, gloves, blankets, etc.), kitchen ware / food items, and kitschy items like magnets, keychains, postcards, candies, soaps, and the like. However one exemplary employee does stand out in this shop that the others don't. Opal has always been amazingly pleasant every time I've come in; it's clear they take pride in customer service interactions being the best they can be. They also suggested a new recipe I could try for steak and maple sugar?! Heck yes!

So I got two of them. When I checked out she said it was a mistake. I said, shouldn't you guaranteed the price anyhow? She said no because I know who did it. And I said that isn't my fault. All three items are marked that way. She said sorry I don't know what to tell you. I asked for a manager, she said im a lead....you want to get them anyhow? So instead of buying a whole bunch of stuff I didn't even need in the first place. I just walked out. My bill would have been 60 dollars. Not good customer service.

I stopped, and looked back thinking wait... why are there so many Spam products... So i walked back, and found this souvenir shop had an entire section of Spam items... Spam meat, Spam lunchboxes, Spam T-shirts, Spam playing cards, Spam air fresheners (lol yes i want my car to smell like Spam), Spam bags, Spam socks... and yeah the Spam meats... so many kinds... many I never seen before... i thought... damn! Thats a lot of spam! They sold other souvenirs, but i thought it was wild there was an entire section for Spam! Someone certainly is a fan! Five stars to this place just for the amusement!

Double check their hours on the Meet Minneapolis Visitor Center web page as the ones listed on Yelp…read moredid not seem accurate, at least when we visited in June 2024. On their web site they are listed as Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. (NOTE: Closed Sunday and Monday). As tourists staying in M'polis for a week we tried to visit this visitor center twice, but it was closed. The third time was a charm, but that was already halfway through our trip. It would have been nice to have been able to visit at the beginning of our stay when we needed information. We also found their 10-4 hours a little inconvenient as we like to get up and out early while on vacation. Besides that, the staff were very friendly and the store/info center is nicely appointed, if a little sparse. They do sell postcards if you're looking for some. Located near the Nicollet Metro station.

I'm a first time visitor to Minneapolis, and their flyer in the airport offering a free tote bag…read morewas a good enough incentive for me to walk over from my hotel. They sell souvenirs - including some from local artists. But the tourist information with maps of the metro, downtown, and tour info was what I needed. Thanks to the helpful staff, I learned about a Twin City Highlights bus tour that I'll take tomorrow. I loved the accents of the staff too! (I have a strong Boston accent.)

I love Midtown Global Market with all of my heart. I went…read morelast Friday for the first time in a while and have already been back 2 times already since then (it's now Monday). Midtown Global Market has been such a staple in my life. It does such a good job of having food options from so many cultures and parts of the world. The food is reasonably priced and the workers are all so kind and knowledgable. Beyond just food, there is a huge selection of art, groceries, clothing, and more. MGM has always felt like the ideal of what Minneapolis is and can be. I am sad to see a lot of booths closed right now. My heart aches for my neighbors and community. I hope (and know) that MGM can bounce back and continue to be a place of diverse community. Love MGM always.

I feel like it used to be much livelier years ago. I went this year to Volunteer and noticed a lot…read moreof places were vacant/closed. Seems like they are trying to bring people back by hosting more events (they've always had events but really pushing for the community to out). They still have some decent food options. Sad about Slice closing before I had to a chance to check them out. Still a few shops and produce vendors. I was born and raised for a bit in South Mpls and I find this area to be a bit challenging sometimes especially with them narrowing Lake Street down to single lanes. Makes me avoid the area as a whole. Definitely not MGM fault but generally unfortunate. You do have to pay for parking, ramp or metered. Or you could be lucky and find a spot around the neighborhood and walk over.

Great service. Staff was patient and willing to answer merch questions. Decent variety of merch…read more Great for that last minute let me get some more Prince stuff before it leave. It is pricey and a lot of items aren't unique to this store. Good news? Depending on how much you purchase it will ship free or for a small fee. No lugging stuff around the airport. It's a string four stars. Mostly because of the selection.

If you're looking for an authentic piece of Minneapolis culture or want to pick up a memorable…read moresouvenir, the Prince Store is the perfect spot. It's not the place for budget shoppers, but if you're a fan, it's a great little slice of musical history right in the airport. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you have time to appreciate Prince's legacy before catching your flight. Video Review will be posted on Tik Tok and Instagram soon @Foxyappetite In depth review: During my long layover at MSP on my way home to Montreal, I couldn't resist checking out the Prince Store, especially as a fan of his music. Situated in Concourse F, the store is a tribute to the legendary artist, and it's clear they've done a great job of curating a space that feels both celebratory and fitting for an airport. It's small, but packed with Prince memorabilia that instantly transports you into his world. The selection is impressive--everything from classic albums, vinyl records, and books to exclusive merchandise like t-shirts, hats, and even a few more niche items like limited-edition posters. For any Prince fan, this is a must-stop. The quality of the products is solid, and you can tell that the store carefully chooses items that pay homage to his iconic style, from his signature purple hue to his funky logo designs. I picked up a t-shirt and a collectible item, both of which felt like genuine keepsakes. The prices are typical for airport shops--higher than you'd find at a regular store, but considering it's a Prince-specific store, you're paying a bit of a premium for exclusivity. Still, for true fans, it's worth it to have a unique piece of memorabilia to bring home. Customer service is friendly, though there's not much interaction beyond checking out. It's a smaller, more specialized space, so it's pretty hands-off, which works given the nature of the shop.
