Visitor & Driver Tips
When entering from Nicollet Avenue, stay alert for the Nicollet Court turnoff, as the road curves gently behind neighboring retail and hospitality establishments. During peak winter snowstorms, adhere to designated snow clearance areas to assist maintenance crews in keeping drive aisles clear. If you plan to leave your vehicle parked for an extended multi-day stay while traveling via regional transit or shuttle services, register your license plate at the front desk upon arrival to ensure your vehicle remains properly documented and authorized.
