Not Worth It
We spent $125 for 2 adults and 1 child (+infant for free) to enjoy a two hour cruise only to end up sitting inside a crowded charter with a mediocre brunch. I expected reserved seating for this price to avoid overcrowding but there was not and we had to ask around to see if our family of 4 could join another group. The first group we asked were so rude and distasteful, we chose to not sit with them. The interior was also low budget- janky tables, no table cloth, just not what you’d expect on “Lake Minnetonka”. The food was subpar as well, seasoning isn’t a thing I suppose. We were able to take a few pics on the front of the boat for a few mins which was actually the only good thing about this experience. I do not recommend for anyone who doesn’t enjoy being overcrowded and inside disorganized spacing or anyone who enjoys a good bite! Do not recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your brunch cruise experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing it must have been to feel overcrowded and uncomfortable, especially when you were expecting a relaxing experience for your family. Your comments regarding organization, seating, and overall presentation are valuable and will be shared with our team as we continue working to improve our guest experience. While we’re glad you were at least able to enjoy some time outside and capture a few photos on the lake, we regret that the remainder of the cruise left you dissatisfied. We appreciate your honest feedback and the opportunity to improve.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lake Minnetonka Sunday Brunch Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Minneapolis-Saint Paul.
How much does Lake Minnetonka Sunday Brunch Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $38 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 Lake Minnetonka Sunday Brunch Cruise 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 Lake Minnetonka Sunday Brunch Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 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 Lake Minnetonka Sunday Brunch Cruise?
+
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 Lake Minnetonka Sunday Brunch Cruise 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 Lake Minnetonka Sunday Brunch Cruise?
+
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 Lake Minnetonka Sunday Brunch Cruise 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.
