Travel note

How to plan around it

Park-and-ride shuttles are far faster than driving to the fairgrounds.

Getting there

  • Flights

    MSP connects to downtown by Blue Line light rail in about 25 minutes.

  • Train

    The Empire Builder stops at Union Depot in St. Paul.

  • Bus

    Intercity coaches serve Chicago and Milwaukee cheaply.
