Getting There
Target Center is in the Warehouse District at 600 1st Avenue North, and its driving guidance is written to end at a parking ramp rather than at the arena. From the west you can drive straight into Ramp A or B off I-394. Transit is the same two METRO lines that serve Target Field and U.S. Bank Stadium, plus a suburban shuttle.
- Driving
- From the north, I-35W south to the Washington Ave exit then right on Washington. From the south, I-35W north to the downtown exits, follow the 5th Ave exit then left on N. 7th St. From the east, I-94 west to the 11th St exit, follow to Hennepin Ave, right, then left on 9th St and right on 2nd Ave N. From the west, I-394 east runs directly into Ramp A or Ramp B, or take I-94 east to the N. 4th St exit.
- Public Transit
- Target Center is reached on several Metro Transit bus lines and on the Blue and Green METRO lines serving downtown Minneapolis, using the Downtown Zone fare. The arena names no individual station or stop, so check metrotransit.org. SouthWest Transit also runs its SW Shuttle to events from Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and Chaska.

How We Checked This Page
Every section below names the source it was read from and the day it was read. Where we could not reach a published figure, the page says so rather than presenting an estimate as a checked fact.
- Parking guidance
Official Target Center parking page, read 2026-08-14: the size of the downtown supply, the skyway-level accessible route through Ramps A and B, the ADA drop-off corner, and bus parking with its standard and overnight fees and reservation line. Individual ramp names and rates, hours, placard requirements, RV rules and closures are not published.
- Getting there
Target Center getting-here page on targetcenter.com
- Transit
Metro Transit fares: Local Bus / METRO $2 at all times for adults, good for 2.5 hours (Express Bus $2.50 off-peak, $3.25 rush). The Minneapolis Skyway is a public enclosed pedestrian walkway rather than a fare service, so it carries no fare
- Venue policies
Current Target Center and Minnesota Timberwolves policy, accessibility, ticketing, parking, and concessions guidance reviewed for Timberwolves policies.
Not yet checked against a published source
These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them (concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces), so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
- Parking prices: Never checked against a published rate: the venue's parking page, read 2026-09-05, publishes none. The only figures are for buses: $30, or $40 overnight. The 2026-07-27 figures were compiled from third-party listings (was: "Target Center 2026: $10-$25 by proximity and event; Ramps A and B begin at $10").
