The 2015 Progressive Insurance Minneapolis Boat Show will be mooring at the Minneapolis Convention Center from January 22 through January 25. My family and I have gone the past few years and it has been a fun family experience.
Hubby and I enjoy finding new ideas for our boat and how we can update/upgrade it, the girls love looking at the large yachts and the fancy pontoons. I must admit though, I get a bit frustrated with Hubby and how much money he wants to spend after attending the show!
This year, boating enthusiasts can participate in DIY lessons at Fred’s Shed Interactive Learning Center, test their skills in the state-of-the-art Power Squadron Boating Simulator and sharpen their nautical know-how at a variety of seminars. The Wings Financial Credit Union Island Experience promises seaside fun with a detailed replica beach/marina environment, live music and great food. The Anchors & Ales craft beer sampling night lets you taste the best of the area’s breweries. Paddlefest teaches participants ages 10+ how to kayak and paddleboard while professionals give Stand Up Paddleboard yoga demonstrations. Younger kids will love the show’s giant pirate ship and a 10 ton tow boat ice sculpture promises to wow!
