The 50th Annual Twin Cities Auto Show is here!
It’s March 31st through April 8th, 2023, and I have a 4 tickets to GIVE AWAY!
I LOVE the Twin Cities Auto Show. A few years ago I had the most fun experience with A Girls Guide to Cars and Toyota at the Twin Cities Auto Show, and I can’t wait to head back again this year.
Girls definitely love cars too!
What to Expect
I’m always blown away by everything you can see and do here, and this year include:
The Electric Vehicle Neighborhood and the Electric Garage – experts, examples, and information about EV! Take a ride in an electric vehicle such as Mercedes, Polestar, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, and Kia.
Ride & Drives – test drive the latest vehicles from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Toyota, and Volkswagen!
RAM Truck Territory – the ultimate in-truck adventure! The 30,000-square-foot truck focused interactive ride experience highlights offroad and vocational capabilities such as towing, payload, and torque. Professional drivers will drive guests around the challenging course.
The RAMINATOR – the 10-feet tall, 12-feet wide and five-ton behemoth with the 565 CI Supercharged Hemi Engine, will be on display and will be “revved up” for all to hear many times during the Show.
Camp Jeep is back! Go on an obstacle course created to simulate some of the rigorous testing that Jeep vehicles endure before customers get behind the wheel. Camp Jeep will feature a thrilling “can’t miss” hill climb where passengers experience traction capabilities while climbing the 18-foot high, 35-degree “Jeep Mountain”, where riders are 24+ feet off the ground as they sit on top!
I did this last time I went to the Auto Show and it was AWESOME!
Luxury Lane – a must-see for all who love cars!
Dog adoptions – hosted by Suburu as a part of their Subaru Loves Pets Campaign. The dogs will be from Midwest Animal Rescues and Services.
Custom Garage – fun and exciting new trims on today’s most popular vehicles.
