Getting Here

Everything you need to plan your trip to Furry Migration!

Driving

Traffic patterns are changing drastically each weekend.

Even if you know the area please check MNDOT 511 site for latest information on road closures.

It is recommended that you use your favorite GPS/Map software for your phone. These links should work on most phones: for Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze. If you don’t have a cellular device or don’t want to use it on the way to the hotel we recommend using Google Maps a few days before your trip to lock in a route.

Parking

If you are bringing down your vehicle to Furry Migration there are many parking options downtown, including many overnight parking ramps. For convenience, we recommend the parking ramp attached to the hotel, but check out our parking page for additional options.

Room & Ride Share

Check out the MNfurs forums or our discord– a great place to find a room and/or ride share or find a couple extra friends to help with the costs!

Flying

Once you’ve landed at MSP, you’re going to need to get to the hotel.

Downtown

First and foremost, Furry Migration is designed to a pedestrian-friendly convention. There are dozens of food and shopping option within a short distance.

Walking

This is where we’d normally rave about the beauty of Nicollet Mall. However, there’s (still) a lot of construction happening out there. It’s not pretty but still very useable, and walking continues to be the best way to get around.

Metro Transit Buses

Metro Transit’s Downtown Zone is inexpensive travel without the footwork. It’s a bus or train ride for a fraction of the normal fare! You can reach most downtown stores, restaurants and businesses on the Downtown Zone fare, which is $.50 at all times.

Simply tell the driver before you pay your fare that you will be riding only within the Downtown Zone to avoid paying the normal fare. If you ride outside the zone, the driver will ask you to pay the added fare. Transfers are not available with Downtown Zone fares.
