Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the F. Scott Fitzgerald tour? Is it mostly walking?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking for about two hours through St. Paul. Dress in layers, too! The weather can change pretty quickly around here, and you might want a light jacket. Most people wear casual clothes, so no need to dress up.

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids or is it more for adults?

A: The tour is definitely more geared toward adults, especially those interested in literature and history. That said, older kids who are into F. Scott Fitzgerald or the Roaring '20s may enjoy it too! Just keep in mind that the two-hour duration might be a bit long for younger children.

Q: How do I get to the tour starting location? Is parking easy?

A: The tour typically starts in a central location in St. Paul, and street parking is usually available, but it can fill up quickly during weekends. If you’re taking public transport, check the local bus routes; it’s pretty accessible. Just plan to arrive a bit early to find parking and get settled.

Just did the F. Scott Fitzgerald tour and wow!

I took the Walking F. Scott Fitzgerald's St. Paul Life & Homes tour last weekend, and it was such a cool experience! Douglas was super knowledgeable about Fitzgerald's life and the history of the area. Walking through his childhood neighborhood really brought the stories to life. Plus, the architecture was gorgeous! I highly recommend it for anyone who loves literature or just wants a fun way to explore St. Paul.
