Getting where you're going:

Downtown is an urban setting that provides transportation opportunities to meet everyone's desired experience, whether you want to drive, ride a bus, take a train, or bike or walk.

When visiting Downtown, Target Field, or Target Center, there are four tips people should remember to minimize delays and maximize their enjoyment of all the activities happening Downtown.

Plan ahead - Use www.twinsbaseball.com/transportation to learn more about all your transportation choices.
Know your parking options - There is parking availability throughout Downtown. If you prefer convenient access to Target Field and Target Center, the adjacent A,B,C, and Hawthorne ramps have plenty of capacity. The eastern side of Downtown near the Metrodome has many ramps and surface parking lots.
Consider transit and bicycling - Target Field, Target Center, and the Metrodome are extremely transit- and bicycle-friendly facilities, and it's easy to get there by light rail, commuter train, bus, or bicycle. Bicyclists are reminded to use headlights and taillights after dark.
Come early/Stay late - Take part in activities, shopping, dining, and other entertainment before and after games and concerts. Enjoy the extra time to experience all Downtown has to offer, and avoid transportation delays. Downtown businesses look forward to welcoming fans before and after events.
Making event days a great experience

Many City departments, the Minnesota Twins, the Minnesota Vikings, the Minnesota Ballpark Authority, Target Center, the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Hennepin County, Metro Transit, ABC Ramps, the Warehouse District Business Association, and others are all taking steps to make event days in Downtown success. To help fans plan ahead and make the most of their experience, these partners have collaborated to create DestinationTargetField.com on the Minnesota Twins Web site. The site helps folks explore all their options for getting to Downtown events, whether it's by car, on a bus or train, or by biking or walking.
