Downtown St. Cloud Passport Turns Exploring Into A Game

(KNSI) – Exploring downtown St. Cloud now comes with the chance to win prizes.

The 2025 Minnesota Young American Leaders Program St. Cloud Cohort has launched the Downtown St. Cloud Passport, a free digital passport that turns a downtown trip into an adventure. Participants sign up online, save the passport to their phone’s home screen, and check in at participating stops using GPS.

Five check-ins earn a Tier 1 prize. Ten check-ins earn a grand prize.
More than 10 downtown businesses and attractions are taking part. There is nothing to download and no paper card to keep track of, and organizers say participants can build their own route at their own pace. The passport is available now through December 31st.

Visit Greater St. Cloud offers three passports in all. The Brew-Cation Passport guides participants 21 and older to breweries, wineries, distilleries and taprooms across the region, with check-ins earning stickers, custom bottle openers, wine totes and limited-edition t-shirts while supplies last. Organizers encourage anyone following the trail to designate a driver or use a ride-share service.

The Top 10 Bucket List passport highlights outdoor recreation, live entertainment and dining across Greater St. Cloud, with check-ins building toward a Bucket List Prize Pack.
