Had a wonderful experience here today. I went on the 3 hour ultimate tour ($175 per person) and it was such a great experience! Our tour guide was named Josh, and he was super informative and enthusiastic! He made our tour outstanding, and was available to answer any questions any of us had. There were 16 people in my group and the tour went a bit over 3 hours. The highlight of the ultimate tour was getting to listen to some of Princes unreleased tapes/raw cuts/isolated vocals. Another highlight was getting to be in his performance room. It was HUGE. They had a huge screen in front and super

Took the VIP tour and very thrilled with the experience. Well worth it in my opinion. If you're a Prince fan or really enjoyed his music, I highly recommend you visit Paisley Park.

Since 2016 I have visited Paisley Park 7 times. I have watched Prince's wishes for it to become a Museum come to fruition. This facility is remarkably beautiful and remarkably kept. The corridors still smell have a faint scent of the Lavender that Prince loved. The staff feel like family. Their stories tell like the stories that we all have of our own family gatherings. The exhibits have been brought to a level of perfection that is deserving of the legacy of Prince. There is always new merchandise for purchase (which provides us repeat customers great selection each time). Now you can visit

We did the 90 minute tour and had a great time. Loved seeing all the guitars, studios, outfits, and last but DEFINITELY not least, his shoe collection. There were so many great ones. The only thing that got them 4 instead of 5 stars is that I was very disappointed that we could not have out phones out. So, no pictures till the very end. They had the stage set up and a few outfits, and carsa and a really cool looking piano. I would have liked to see better designed shirts. There was a store in the airport that had a better selection but they were closed when we were catching out flight home.

From the moment we walked in to the time we left, it was a great experience. Our guide was Tommy and was so enthusiastic. You can tell it wasn't just a tour guide job for him. I would pay for the Ultimate Experience. Worth the price. It said a 3 hour, but it went a little over. Loved, loved, loved it.

So glad I was able to find availability to tour the amazing Paisley Park - what an experience !!!! With the various rooms, sections and faades of the legendary artist and musical genius. You are really given the opportunity to visit a historical space. The tour showcases beautiful murals, paintings, and artifacts! And the staff were all super friendly, and knowledgeable during the tour! With the option to constantly ask ALL questions Prince- there is so much to learn and see! And I can definitely see myself going back for another of the tour options. I knew Prince was a legend and iconic

If you love Prince, you have to take the Paisley Park tour in Minneapolis. You get a sense of how important music was to Prince. The recording studios. The sound equipment. His wardrobe. Musicians that influenced Prince. Musicians that Prince influenced. We went in the VIP tour. We were there for more than two hours. They do make you turn off your phones and place then in a locked pouch until the in the the tour. The last stop was the only area where you could take pictures.
