The camera pans back toward Rocky standing on the bridge.
Rocky signs:
Hello, DQMO Twin Cities 2026!
My name is Rocky. (Signs the letter "R" by tapping the side of his forehead.)
We're excited to show you around the Twin Cities!
(Points toward the Minneapolis skyline.)
This is Downtown Minneapolis.
Today I'd like to explain our Tour Day on Saturday, August 1st. We'll be visiting three different locations throughout the day.
Our first stop is right here at Stone Arch Bridge, where we'll meet at 10:00 AM.
You can easily get here by bus, bike, scooter, Lyft, or Uber. It's very close to Loring Park, making it a quick and easy trip.
We'll see you here!
(Signs "I Love You.")
The video continues with additional scenic shots of the Pillsbury A-Mill building, nearby streets, and more views of Stone Arch Bridge.
The next shot shows Rocky standing peacefully near the lower area of the bridge, looking toward the waterfall and river.
Scene 2 – Minnehaha Falls
The video transitions to Minnehaha Falls.
The camera pans across the lively Sea Salt Eatery, where people are chatting, eating, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoor atmosphere.
The video continues past the bike rental area before showing a breathtaking overhead view of Minnehaha Falls.
The camera follows Minnehaha Creek as it flows toward the waterfall before panning over to Rocky.
Rocky signs:
Hello again!
I'm Rocky.
We're now at Minnehaha Falls.
This is our second stop, where we'll meet at 11:30 AM at the main entrance by Sea Salt Eatery.
After we meet, you're welcome to explore on your own.
You can hike the beautiful trails, enjoy the amazing views of the waterfall, have a delicious meal at Sea Salt, or rent a bike and ride through the park.
(Thumbs up.)
Then we'll head to our final stop...
Mall of America!

The video shows the entrance into Mall of America before walking through the main shopping area.
The camera passes the M&M'S Store and continues toward the open view of Nickelodeon Universe.
The camera pans from the amusement park toward Rocky.
Rocky signs:
Hello again!
This is Rocky.
We're now at Mall of America, our third and final stop!
We'll meet here at 1:00 PM on the first floor, East Area, right by the Nickelodeon Universe sign behind me.
You'll also see the M&M'S Store right next to us.
If you're driving, park in the East Parking Ramp, enter on the first floor, and walk straight until you arrive here.
After our meetup, you're free to spend the afternoon however you'd like.
Go shopping.
Enjoy some great food.
Explore the attractions.
Have fun until it's time to head over to the Closing Ceremony at the Walker Art Center.
Mall of America is one of Minnesota's most popular destinations, welcoming millions of visitors every year.
Have fun!
