Experienced pilots hoist two guests into the air and swoop over either the St. Paul or Minneapolis skyline. The helicopter's windows afford 180-degree views of landmarks such as the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, neoclassical Capitol, and the IDS Tower.

Minnesota Helicopters

Minnesota Helicopters’ Robinson R22 hovers like a hummingbird high above the St. Croix River, an ideal vantage point for scouting the surrounding bluffs for bald eagles. The craft then swoops toward St. Paul, darting past skyscrapers and the state Capitol. Tours such as this spotlight Minnesota’s natural and urban splendor from a singular perspective. In addition to the St. Croix River, pilots trace routes up the Mississippi and over Lake Minnetonka, and can even customize flight routes for passengers.

Those not content to cruise in the passenger seat can sign up for Minnesota Helicopters’ flight school and eventually chart their own courses for friends or stowaway ostriches.
