Power wheelchair / scooter rental: pros, cons?

Hi @lofturthunk,
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. offers a skyway system, and subterranean walkways (called the "subway" system), all accessible by wheelchair or scooter. A variety of galleria shops and businesses are located along the underground subway, and hotels, shops and dining are all accessible without ever having to step outdoors in the winter.
Here's the Mayo Clinic Patient & Visitor Guide, which you might wish to view:

This webpage, http://www.rochestercvb.org/play/event-calendar/, is another great resource for things to do in and around Rochester in winter. I've copied a few links for your convenience, as well:

Hello @lofturthunk, I was going to share a few of the same links as @kanaazpereira. The SocialICE event is a fun way to celebrate Minnesota and is located right in the heart of downtown and Mayo Clinic. There are plenty of heaters outside so it remains somewhat comfortable even if it is a cold evening.
In the winter, I also enjoy going to Rochester Ice Hawks hockey games, http://www.mnicehawks.com/. Even if hockey isn't your sport, it's still fun being in the atmosphere since hockey is such a big part of Rochester culture. I also enjoy going to the movies at Paragon Cheateau Theatres. It is an accessible theatre with many screens and they also have leather reclining seats, so it is a very comfortable viewing experience. These are just a few things I can think of for now. I will post more if I can think of any.
