Travel & Lodging
Flight
Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP)
A note about getting an Uber or Lyft at MSP: it can be a little confusing to find the pick-up area when you arrive in the main terminal of MSP (terminal 1). Head towards the baggage claim and then follow the signs for "app-based ride services". You'll go down an escalator to get to the baggage claim, walk straight for about a minute, and then up two consecutive escalators which will put you right at the pick-up area. Your app will ask you if you want to be picked up at "Zone A" or "Zone B"- it doesn't matter which one you pick. They are right next to each other in the same area.

Milwaukee Road Restaurant & Bar
Milwaukee Road is located right at the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel and is a warm, easygoing stop for American comfort staples, local beer, and specialty cocktails

Absolutely! If you live locally or plan to rent a car here is what to expect: Welcome Party- $4 parking in the Stadium Parking Ramp directly across the street from Chloe. Bring your ticket with you for the discount sticker. There’s also ample street parking around the building at 50cents an hour. Wedding - there is a large parking lot at our venue (but we wouldn't recommend leaving cars overnight as the lot is not secure).
