The Foshay is open in the "summer months", which seems to mean May to October. There's an admission cost, but it was under $5. It's actually got some pretty good views. If you're interested in a small sampling of what you can see, I have some pictures from when a friend visisted town last summer at <http://davespicks.com/pictures/minneapolis2001072x/turly_the_tourist.html> (there are a few pictures from other locations too, but it should be pretty obvious which are taken from the top of the Foshay).
