Getting to Grand Casino Arena
Minnesota Wild · Saint Paul, MN
Grand Casino Arena sits at West Kellogg Boulevard and West 7th Street in downtown Saint Paul, with five published driving routes that all end on Kellogg. The detail worth knowing in a Minnesota winter is the skyway: five miles of climate-controlled second-floor walkways connect the downtown buildings around it.
Tips & Fan Reports
The X is directly linked to public transit - bus 54 from the airport or the light rail to downtown. Not European-level transit but it works fine for getting to the game.
The Green Line serves downtown Saint Paul but the arena names no station — use the trip planner.
From MSP it is Highway 5 for about 8 miles then 35E north to the Kellogg exit.
All five published driving routes end on Kellogg Boulevard.
The skyway system is five miles of enclosed walkway — the way to move around downtown in winter without going outside.
