Home - Twin Cities Gateway

Welcome to
the Gateway

The Twin Cities Gateway is jam packed with fun Twin Cities events, attractions and things to do. Cool off at a waterpark, play a round of golf, bike the Mississippi River Trail, enjoy dinner and a show or visit a craft brewery.

Let’s face it, there’s way too much to do in the Gateway for a day trip, so you’re going to need a comfortable hotel, conveniently located near Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
