Discover Theatre History - Tours are Open to the Public!
Take a walking tour of Hennepin Theatre Trust’s State, Orpheum or Pantages Theatre! Experienced guides highlight architecture and historical facts and stories about the venues that anchored the region’s “Theatre Row”. Each tour accesses the theatres’ interiors and provides a fascinating historical perspective that patrons cannot experience when attending an event. The tours give theatre patrons, historians, students and others a personal introduction to these historic gems, providing an insider’s view. Each tour lasts approximately one hour.
Public Tours
We now offer two public tours per month! Join us on the second Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. or on the last Monday of each month at 1:00 p.m. Advance reservations and payment must be made at least one day prior to the monthly tour. All tours meet in front of the State Theatre Box Office (805 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis). Theatre availability is determined by performance schedules at each venue.
