Walker Art Center Reviews

Nice place to veiw art. Nice views of the city. Great park.

Great museum, beautifully installed. Plus it includes the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden which is open to the public without an entrance fee for the museum.

To much focus on 1 artist, but apart from that, perfect

Inexpensive way to gain knowledge and enjoy all the sculptures along with the readings that you will know the history behind the sculptures.

Minneapolis gem. Excellent exhibits, curation, and programming. They have great spaces to rent and are actually pretty affordable!

I adore this place to death. It's completley free to everyone under 18, and otherwise I believe the cost isn't too much. They are concerned with showing art, not making money. The exhibits seem sprawling. We were here for three hours and didn't even get to everything. Everything just has a certain feeling of importance yet not, and I can't explain it over text. Go see this place for yourself, it's a beautiful building full of mini stories.

Three galleries closed and the majority of all the other exhibits were video installations. Unfortunately they were not my thing. I've never been to the Walker when they've had so much space closed and everything else was monotone and not very dynamic. It's such a great museum too bad this wasn't thought out to appeal to more people.

I loved this place it has such nice art and I sound like a bot

Free fun place in Minneapolis, MN. with a number of sculptures by various artists

It all depends on the show being presented, sadly we were there for ordinary pictures. Which sadly was very ordinary. In a digital age, it seemed dated.

Really cool sculptures in a serene park. I would recommend going during the week

We were given conflicting instructions by staff, including one who was extremely rude. There are other galleries that are more respectful. Go there instead.

I always love the new exhibits, they're as beautiful as they are sometimes frightening and always though provoking.

This place is the best. Free on thursday afternoons and all day on the first Saturday of the month. As one of the best museums in the country, this place is a real gem for modern art. The garden is very chill in the summer as well. Go there now.

Loved it! Go on Thursday nights for an inexpensive but thrilling date night! Always something new to discover.

I think the only way to understand this place would be to walk around high on mushrooms or something. Unfortunately I do not do drugs and thought it was weird as hell.

Awesome place with lots to see!! The mini golf course is so much fun!!

This is a cool place for a first time photographer to test out some ideas.

Quite a good good indoor Art center by the Mississippi river.

I couldn't believe how a death machine meant could become a piece of art when it's a horrific reminder to the survivors of the Dakota 38 hanging in Mankato MN December 26, 1862.

We attend the screening of the British Arrows every year. Very fun tradition! Always a special treat to go on opening night.

Great place to learn about different aspects of culture.

A great place with mordern arts. Definitely a place need to go if you come Minneapolis.

Very nice place, reasonably price. Lots of art. Will need a few hours to get the whole experience and not feel rushed.

Leaving the parking ramp when they are busy is a REAL challenge. Just spent an hour leaving the exhaust ridden parking ramp on a Saturday between 12:30-1:30...crazy!!

The sculpture garden is a nice free activity. Parking is expensive

We love going for first free Saturday. They have activities and crafts for kids that are also fun for adults. Not to mention that it's free.

Great place to hangout and take beautiful pictures. Beautiful scenery. There is a covered car park opposite the park that costs $5 and an open car park beside the park that costs $4.

Wonderful view local and national artists. Your eyes will be opened up to new horizons.

Free Saturday!!! Loved the sculpture garden and the modern art. The building is amazing.

Great relaxed place to have a goof view of downtown Minneapolis while playing minigolf.

The wonderful illustrations and art created epic photos of myself & family!

Went to the rooftop minigolf. 10 artist designed holes, but few were very creative, and most were designed in such a way that the balls frequently fly out of the play area. Kind of a gimmick to lure in those who would otherwise not go to an art museum.

Beautiful building and great selection of exhibits. They have a good turnover rate for the current exhibits, which is nice because it keeps it fresh. The staff are not always inclusive and respectful which is upsetting. You would think they would be welcoming of all types of people but there have been times when the younger staff have been openly rude. Other than that, great location and beautiful architecture and art.

One note. Contrived. A shell of what it used to be. Go to the Weisman.

Terrible. My boyfriend and I went here last Saturday and NOTHING was worthy of awe. Just a bunch of scribbles and unskilled art that passed as "conceptual art". I guess all of the artists had all of the right connections to be able to be displayed there.

I'd give 5 stars to the sculpture garden though.

A staple spot to visit if you're a visitor or local.

Great public space for an afternoon stroll. Contemporary art and nice walking paths. Place to sit and or have a picnic. Hosts events throughout the summer.

Thursdays this my get lost at walker. Alway somthing new I discover.

Nice place and free on Thursdays and the first Saturday of every month. Has much more of an art gallery feel than the MIA.

Most of the art installations are a little too modern for me.

Great exhibit and a wonderful space. The outdoor garden hosts world renowned sculpture and a wonderful gathering space.

a lovely place to visit for art! exhibits change pretty frequently so there's always new things to see. the sculpture garden is amazing in the summer.

Genuinely disappointed with the exhibitions they had on display. Waaaaaay too avant-garde for my tastes.

SPECTACULAR!!! MY GRANDDAUGHTER'S PHOTO IS HANGING IN THE ENTRANCE... FROM ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO!!

Beautiful place, great staff. Check out a show or performance here.

Visiting from WI parking was easy, nice leg stretch after a long car ride. Lots of fun photo opps.
But finding a bathroom was difficult in March.

Closed on mondays, mini golf is way over priced, and the sculpter garden is good for a half hour.

Free public space with large scale works of art that invite discussion and thought.

There are lots of great walking areas and sites to see at this park in Minneapolis! The park is always clean, and it's not super busy most of the time. It's a very relaxing park to spend a few hours on a nice day.

I love this place. They have a variety of events for every age.

World class art, tasty restaurant and a renowned outdoor sculpture garden.

$15 admission and floors 4-7 were completely closed, the lady at the desk could've mentioned that before I paid to get in. I may try it again sometime but I'mma make sure everything is open before I drop $15 again

Great place to visit and see some cool sculptures be in the outdoors and it's completely free

Awesome place to spend time on weekend.. downtown is nearby

Thursday night is free, I also parked in the street for free. The artwork was interesting, and the building is easy to navigate and not crowded.

The Walker parking ramp, which is owned and run by City of Mpls, is not designed for easy exit, and lacks pay stations.
