FREE Super Mario World Water Ski Shows this summer in Minneapolis!
Ok so I grew up LOVING Super Mario Brothers video games. I played them on my Super Nintendo for years, then I got a Nintendo 64 and GameCube so I could keep playing Super Mario Brothers games.
Did you play these games? How about Super Mario World?
Well there is something really cool in Minneapolis this summer –
FREE water ski shows! And they have a Super Mario World theme!
The Twin Cities River Rats have been performing in the Twin Cities for years. They do FREE shows all summer long, and this summer they are doing weekly shows with a Super Mario World theme.
About the show:
Join Mario and Luigi, and their friend Princess Peach, on their quest to rid the water ski world of villains and the dreaded Bowser. Super Mario World is filled with adventure, including high-flying jumps, tall pyramids, powerful balancing acts, and barefoot tricks. But, will all the courageous tricks be enough for Mario, Luigi and Peach to convince Bowser to be a friend of Super Mario World?
It’s FREE to watch the show! Bring a lawn chair, blankets, snacks and bug spray, or whatever else you need.
If you want good, reserved seats, you can make a donation of $100 for your group. You can have up to 8 people and it includes 4 meal deals from their concession stand. Click here to donate $100 for reserved seats!
