点评:FREE THURSDAY AFTER 5PM
We were vacationing in Minneapolis for a week and visited the Walker on 'Free Thursday after 5pm'. While we enjoyed the Keith Haring exhibit, we didn't realize (and the front desk neglected to inform us) that it was the only exhibit open for viewing that night, which was disappointing. Also, probably due to the fact it was 'free night' there were several kids running around and being noisy.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE...
Besides the art museum, we spent time wandering the adjacent sculpture garden where you can photograph the iconic 'Spoonbridge and Cherry' and see great views of the surrounding city, including the Basilica of Saint Mary, which is only a 10 minute walk away and worth seeing.
ROOFTOP MINI-GOLF
While at the Walker, we played 'Skyline Mini-golf', which is a 10-hole rooftop course, probably one like no other you've ever played! Check-in and pay at the front desk and take the elevator up to the rooftop for play.
CARDAMOM CAFE
In order to kill time before the 5pm free opening (and not a minute before!) we had a hot drink at the museum cafe 'Cardamom', which has a minimalist, high-end vibe.
EXIT THROUGH THE (SMALL) GIFT SHOP
The gift shop is small compared to many other art museums.
LOCKERS
There are lockers available near the bathrooms, ideal if you need to stow a backpack or oversized bag like we did. The staff gave us 25 cents for it and we were able to access it a few times during our visit.
I teetered on giving the Walker a 3 or a 4 due to the fact there was only one exhibit open on free night, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt as probably if we'd paid to go in at another time, it would have been a much fuller experience.

翻译:下午 5 点后免费周四
我们在明尼阿波利斯度假一周,并在“下午 5 点后免费周四”参观了沃克。虽然我们很享受 Keith Haring 的展览,但我们没有意识到(前台也没有通知我们)这是当晚唯一开放的展览,这很令人失望。此外,可能是因为那天是“免费之夜”,所以有几个孩子跑来跑去,吵闹不已。
但等等,还有更多……
除了艺术博物馆,我们还花时间漫步在相邻的雕塑花园,在那里您可以拍摄标志性的“Spoonbridge and Cherry”,欣赏周围城市的美景,包括圣玛丽大教堂,距离这里只有 10 分钟步行路程,值得一看。
屋顶迷你高尔夫
在沃克,我们玩了“Skyline Mini-golf”,这是一个 10 洞的屋顶球场,可能与您玩过的其他球场都不一样!在前台办理入住手续并付款,然后乘电梯到屋顶玩耍。
CARDAMOM CAFE
为了在下午 5 点免费开放之前(而不是提前一分钟!)打发时间,我们在博物馆咖啡馆“Cardamom”喝了一杯热饮,那里有极简主义、高端的氛围。
通过(小型)礼品店离开
与许多其他艺术博物馆相比,礼品店很小。
储物柜
浴室附近有储物柜,如果您像我们一样需要存放背包或超大包,这是理想的选择。工作人员给了我们 25 美分,我们在参观期间能够多次使用它。
由于免费之夜只有一个展览开放,我犹豫着给 Walker 打 3 分还是 4 分,但我还是选择了相信,因为如果我们在其他时间付费进入,体验可能会更加充实。
