Getting to Target in Minneapolis
The airport, the ground game, and whether you need a car for a business trip to Target’s Minneapolis headquarters — from our verified where-to-stay data.
Which airport for Target
MSP ~15 min · METRO light rail: yes (Blue/Green). 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.
Getting to Target
For Target specifically, downtown Minneapolis, on Nicollet Mall points you toward the Blue Line light rail — it runs from MSP straight downtown.
