Driving and Parking: Parking is primarily street parking in the surrounding residential neighborhood. There is no large dedicated on-site lot, so arriving early is the best way to give yourself more nearby curb-parking options, especially before popular shows and general-admission events.
Transit: The theater is served by Metro Transit bus routes along Chicago Avenue and nearby arterials. Transit can be a practical option for guests traveling from other parts of Minneapolis, particularly for those who prefer to avoid searching for neighborhood street parking.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is concentrated in downtown Minneapolis and near the airport/Bloomington area, both a short drive from the theater. The immediate neighborhood has fewer hotel options, so visitors who want the widest hotel selection will usually look downtown or near the airport area.
