Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota Nutcracker Performances – Discount Tickets

We have a list of locations of 2025 performances of The Nutcracker in the Twin Cities and in Greater Minnesota – plus information on discount tickets!

It’s that time of year again – time to see the Nutcracker! It’s such a special way to celebrate the season. For many families (like mine as a kid) seeing the Nutcracker is an annual holiday tradition. It’s a magical story that all ages can enjoy!

There are several versions of the Nutcracker that you can see in the Twin Cities this year, and a few even have discount ticket offers!

Discount tickets are all limited to a certain number for each performance, so you’ll want to grab them sooner rather than later. Once they are gone, they are GONE!
