Paisley Park

Love Prince! I did the regular tour and was very happy! The concert at the end was super cool. I booked the day before, so feel lucky to have gotten tickets after reading other reviews. It was right before Christmas so maybe the timing was good. Thanks for the music Prince! You are missed!

We took the ultimate tour, it was so in depth and so cool. We got a guided tour got to go into 3 of 4 recording studios. The tour is really great. You get to spend time in each room and then you get to go to the sound stage and a performance room where he used to have concerts. We got to hold a guitar that Prince used which is one of the coolest things ever

You must make reservations WELL IN ADVANCE.
Go online for directions and schedules.
Do not even think about showing up without tickets/reservations made.
There are different package tiers.
They range from one hour, two hour and three hour. I’m sure all levels are amazing.
There is a security check.
These folks aren’t playing.
It’s Prince, y’all.
Their security game is tight.

It’s all incredible.
Our small group of less than 20 had all the emotions and feels. Our guide was well learned in all things Prince and you could tell he loved doing this.

Straight up respect for every single staff member there.
So much love.
RIP, Prince.

I had no idea what to expect from this tour, and it was amazing! I wanted the VIP tour but it didn't fit into our schedule. However, the normal tour did not disappoint. We took our 24 year old son, who loves Prince and music in general, and his girlfriend, who never heard about Prince until he died. We all thoroughly enjoyed our tour and our tour guide.

I have been Prince fan since 1984. I was so excited about this tour and it did NOT disappoint. You got to hear and see so many interesting things that made Prince who he was. I loved his office. Reece was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We did the Ultimate Tour and loved every minute. When they unlocked your phones at the end it was so much fun. His shoe collection was beautiful too. Highly recommend. We went 9/4/2023

I normally get bored on tours, but this was amazing. We got the VIP experience, but I would recommend getting the Ultimate experience, which we wanted to get but was sold out for the month. Some of the things you get to see are his shoes, which were amazing to see, where he held concerts for fans, the club, where he recorded, and other things. It's definitely worth the money. Oh you are.not allowed to take pictures until you are near the end of the tour.

So worth the trip and the money for the ultimate experience! I learned more about Prince than I thought I ever would since I call myself a fan! I felt such love, peace, and creativity flowing in that sacred place. The staff did an awesome some job of honoring his life and legacy. My highlights were being in his office and studio B. It was like I could see and feel him there! It was a special treat to see and hear the unreleased music. I can't wait to hear more from the vault! I highly recommend adding this to your bucket list!

Everything about this besides the outside being all white. Definitely once in a lifetime experience. The tour guide amazing and knowledgeable. Won't say much but worth the wait to finally see Prince palace!

Where do I begin? I honestly wasn't a huge Prince fan as much as I am a deep lover of music. The energy in this building is truly captivating. It felt as if the intimate group of 17 were celebrating the life of the Great Prince. We chose the ultimate experience and man was it truly "Ultimate ". I am now a fan because I learned so much about him and walking in rooms where his energy still resides was amazing. We were only allowed to take photos in the last area of the tour. But it was well worth it. We also got a special once in a lifetime treat to be the only group to sit on a lovely purple couch that he sat on and also take a picture holding his authentic gold guitar worth over $1M . I fell in love with his shoe collection 😩🙌🏽. The most beautiful display of history in this amazing large room. This is something that all music lovers and Prince lovers should experience. I am now a new Prince Fan.

A must do if you are in the area. I was in Minneapolis for work and had some time to kill so after a simple search of things to do I landed on a tour of Paisley Park. I was able to buy my tickets easily online and select my tour time. There are multiple packages or experiences that range from $65 up to $200. I opted for the $65 tour.

Finding Paisley Park was easy but I wasn't expecting what I saw when I pulled up. Its a very commercial looking building. There is a guard at the entrance that verifies you have an appointment before letting you in. Then once you park you can walk around the parking lot but cannot go inside until your appointed time. I was expecting a quieter more secluded property for Prince but Paisley Park is the opposite of that.

At your appointed time you are escorted into the lobby where you check in with your tour group. Before that you are given a small bag and required to shut your phone off and place it in the bag. The bag is locked and you have no way to unlock it until the end of the tour. You are able to keep the bag but have no access to your phone. I was also told to power off my apple watch. After a few minutes to check everyone in we were introduced to our tour guide and the tour started. Our group size was 12 but this was during the week in the middle of the day. I heard weekends can get pretty busy.

Our tour guide was amazing and obviously a huge Prince fan. There was not a question he didn't know the answer. During the entire tour he was very attentive and was not in a rush to move us through.

I cannot say enough about the experience of the tour. To stand in the same places as not only one great but many greats created, wrote, collaborated and recorded music is unsurmountable. It was such an awesome experience to see the place where Prince lived and to hear the stories of what music was created there. Additionally, to be able to see some of Prince's cars, his shoe room, stages where he would put on mini concerts. I could go on and on and get chills reflecting back on the experience.

I was satisfied with the $65 tour. I read a few mixed reviews about this higher packages which is why I chose what I did. I would say if you are a huge Prince fan and are making the trip specifically for this then go for the big package however, if you are like me and like Prince but not a huge fanatic then the $65 package was fantastic.

My 1st time coming, I didn't realize that it had to be booked in advance. After explaining how long it took me to get there, they allowed me to enter the shop and small area where prince had small parties. I wanted to book a tour but it was fully booked for several months. The staff gave me information on visitor sites nearby. After my little site seeing, a worker ran out and told me about an opening. It was in 2 weeks. I came back 2 weeks after, but I had misplaced my tickets. Luckily, because I had a very memorable reaction to my 1st visit, I was allowed in. We were greeted and entered into the waiting area. We had a lady tour guide, who was very informative about prince and his life. We entered his lobby and saw his 2 doves. We entered a room with his guitars and a little history about them. We were shown his office, kitchen and small sound room ( I fell because of the step on the end). We were shown his different sound rooms and all his shoes. We then entered the huge stage area where we saw vehicles and motorcycles, clothing and had an opportunity to hold his guitar. A truly unforgettable experience.

Thank you, Paisley Park, for your professionalism. Our tour guide and the 3 hour tour was amazing. I highly recommend booking the ultimate experience. It's a bit pricey but well worth it.

Such a cool experience and a "must do" if you are in the area. The staff were incredibly nice, the tour guides are informed and professional, and the exhibits are awesome. Lots of options in the gift shop and tons of photo ops on the property. They do sell out, so buy your tickets in advance!

Our tour guide Jessica was awesome I love prince his music was amazing I wanted the longest time to go to his concert but when he pass his music lives on

It is so amazing to walk where a star once made magic!!! My husband and I were simply awed!!! And our tour guide, Margo, was phenomenal!! She was very knowledgeable about Paisley Park and held our interest the entire tour!! And we got to see the Beautiful Shoes Collection....over 300 pairs of Prince's heels!! Your phone is confiscated before entering and place in a locked pouch that they give back to you to carry around until the last room of the tour when they unlock the bag and you're allowed to take pictures. We did the two hour tour and enjoyed every minute of it!!

WONDEFUL experience! Grab your most comfy shoes & take a Prince fan. I recommend the Ultimate Tour which is 3hrs & it's worth every penny! Ask for Domino for your tour guide. He is informative, thorough & full of energy which is just what is needed for this lengthy tour! You'll enjoy every min. This tour of Paisley Park takes you into the magical mind of late GREAT Prince! MUST see 👀 🙌🏾

My BFF and I decided it was time to cross this off her bucket list of to-dos.
From the meeting with Craig & later Alex (security) to our VIP tour guide Margo... this was such a good time. Prince was a very accomplished human and they really had a healthy appreciation for his life's work. 5-star. Recommend this for music enthusiasts and Prince fans.

We just did the Ultimate tour experience on 2/3/24 - it was well worth the price and Tommy was a FANTASTIC tour guide - it was patient, kind, very enthusiastic and gave us all the wonderful details and stories to really make the experience feel wonderful and special. In particular, he really was kind and thoughtful and called attention many times to my young daughter, who is 14 and an aspiring musician who LOVES Prince - Tommy made her feel very special and included with all the adults. Overall I could not recommend this tour more highly for both hardcore Prince fans and casual fans - or even fans of music in general! Tommy also talked to each member of the group and spent time creating great experiences for each of them based on their background with Prince. Thanks Tommy! Look forward to hopefully seeing you at celebration!

You don't have to buy a tour to go inside! We just made a quick stop there, and the guard said you can go to the gift shop for free. I always liked Prince, but I didn't want to shell out the money for my family of 4 to get a tour. So we checked out the gift shop, the nightclub, and the grounds. It was just a quick 1/2 hour stop.

You don’t have to be a huge fan of Prince to enjoy. There are 3 tiers of tours. Lowest is 90 minutes. Highest is 3 hours. If you are just a casual fan or less than a 90 minute tour will do you just fine. Regardless, it’s worth it. I got chills stand in the one studio just know what was recorded there and who else also recorded there besides Prince. They do not allow photos until the end so expect to have your cell phone locked in a bag (which you carry) for most of the tour.
