1995 began with a commitment to find a new site closer to the Twin Cities which would encourage continued growth. The Team practiced once on Long Lake in the town of Long Lake before scouting the Mississippi River for potential sites. When a suitable location just north of the Broadway bridge was identified, the team moved in and quickly called it home. The next year the team donned a new logo and nicknamed themselves the Twin Cities River Rats.
Since then the name has stuck and the River Rats continue to improve every year by adding difficult acts, more equipment, new members, and more exciting shows! We also continue to contribute to the Twin Cities community by offering free, family entertainment through our shows, tournaments and ski clinics. The River Rats also proudly participate in community clean up days and are active in the Mississippi Riverfront development programs. Thank you for your support and we hope you enjoy the show!
