Getting to Land O'Lakes in Minneapolis
The airport, the ground game, and whether you need a car for a business trip to Land O'Lakes’s Minneapolis headquarters — from our verified where-to-stay data.
Which airport for Land O'Lakes
MSP ~30 min · car needed. One airport — Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP), between the two downtowns. The METRO Blue Line light rail runs from the terminals into Downtown Minneapolis and the Mall of America, so a downtown trip can skip the car.
The ground reality in Minneapolis
MSP has a real rail link: the Blue Line runs from both terminals to Downtown Minneapolis in about 25 minutes. For a downtown meeting it is easy. But many Twin Cities HQs sit in suburbs — Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Maplewood, Fridley — that light rail does not reach, so those are a rideshare or rental. Winter makes the buffer non-negotiable.
