You step out where the river bends and the city opens — the Mississippi’s low bluff to your left, the brick facades of Lowertown and the dome of the Cathedral of Saint Paul punctuating the skyline. The app chimes; a remote host welcomes your group. For the next two hours the city becomes a playground: photo challenges at Rice Park, quick puzzles on Summit Avenue, and a mad dash to spot architectural details other visitors pass by.

History
Saint Paul’s downtown grew from river commerce and Fort Snelling’s 19th‑century military presence, leaving a concentrated set of historic streets and civic buildings.
Conservation
Stick to sidewalks and public paths to protect riverbank vegetation; pack out trash and support local businesses rather than disturbing historic sites.
