Location & Transportation

Masquerade Dance Theater at Ames Center is located at 12600 Nicollet Avenue, Burnsville, MN 55337 — in suburban Burnsville, south of the Twin Cities core and near major routes including I-35W and Highway 13.

Driving and Parking: Most patrons arrive by car. The Ames Center is off Nicollet Avenue, with on-site and adjacent parking serving the complex. For well-attended performances and dance competition days, arriving early helps with parking, lobby entry, and getting settled before showtime.

Transit: Metro Transit bus service operates in the Burnsville area, and the Burnsville Transit Station is nearby. Transit access is more limited than at downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul venues, so planning your route in advance is helpful if you are relying on bus service.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available at the Ames Center complex. Because this is a suburban location, rideshare availability can be lighter than at urban venues, especially after a busy event.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are located along the I-35W corridor and near the Burnsville Center and Burnsville Parkway area. Staying in those areas keeps you within a short drive of the venue.

Getting Ready for Your Masquerade Dance Theater at Ames Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a multi-space performing-arts complex where parking, lobby entry, and seating can all be busier on high-demand nights.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself time for parking and lobby entry, especially for well-attended performances and competition days.
• Wear the right footwear. This is a standard indoor theater environment in a modern, accessible facility, but comfortable shoes are still a smart choice for parking, lobby movement, and event-day waiting.
• Dress in layers. The venue is indoors, but Minnesota winter arrivals can require appropriate outerwear, particularly for holiday-season events.
• Know your entrance. Enter through the Ames Center main lobby and use the hall name on your ticket along with lobby signage to get to Masquerade Dance Theater efficiently.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
