Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Boats and Burgers Cruise on Lake Minnetonka. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Great. One suggestion.
Unfortunately, I did not feel well at all on the day that we went on the trip. Very likely because of the extreme heat and the extreme smoke from wildfires. Someday I would like to take that trip again when I feel better. I did not even eat at the burger bar, but all reports from our friends and other people around us said how delicious everything was and very impressive. Oh, I have to add that our table did not appreciate the volume of the music played. It was too loud. Crew was GREAT. We hit a great water day - very gentle breeze but temps in high 90’s. Sure Wish I’d had felt better.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Boats and Burgers Cruise on Lake Minnetonka: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Minneapolis-Saint Paul.
How much does Boats and Burgers Cruise on Lake Minnetonka cost?
+
Prices start at $43 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Minneapolis-Saint Paul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Boats and Burgers Cruise on Lake Minnetonka take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Minneapolis-Saint Paul is not rushed.
Is Boats and Burgers Cruise on Lake Minnetonka worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Boats and Burgers Cruise on Lake Minnetonka?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Boats and Burgers Cruise on Lake Minnetonka suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Boats and Burgers Cruise on Lake Minnetonka?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Minneapolis-Saint Paul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Minneapolis-Saint Paul and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Boats and Burgers Cruise on Lake Minnetonka start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Minneapolis-Saint Paul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Minneapolis-Saint Paul?
+
The Twin Cities cover Mississippi mill district history, chain of lakes bike and paddle tours, Mall of America trips, brewery crawls in Northeast and winter ice experiences. Seasonal swing is extreme, so honest weather guidance matters. On Outty we rank every Minneapolis-Saint Paul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Escape Game: Epic 60-Minute Adventures at the Mall of America, Narrated Scenic Tour on the Minneapolis Trolley, St. Paul Historic Cave Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Minneapolis-Saint Paul?
+
June to September, with winter activities from December to February. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Minneapolis-Saint Paul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
