Where to Stay When Visiting Land O'Lakes (Arden Hills)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Land O'Lakes's headquarters is in Arden Hills. Downtown and the airport ride the METRO light rail; the suburbs need a car. Which one your campus is in decides the trip.

Direct answer: Visiting Land O'Lakes's Arden Hills HQ (4001 Lexington Ave N): stay in the the Roseville / Arden Hills area area near the office. Stay in Roseville, central to the northern campuses near Land O'Lakes — the hotels here sit minutes from Arden Hills and Fridley off I-35W, with free parking. Downtown is 20-plus minutes south; staying near the office keeps the morning short. Minneapolis-St. Paul International (MSP) is about 30 minutes south of the northern suburbs. There's one airport, but the light rail doesn't reach up here, so you'll need a car.

Land O'Lakes is a member-owned agricultural cooperative and food company (dairy, animal feed, and crop inputs), headquartered at 4001 Lexington Ave N, Arden Hills, MN 55126. That's the northern suburbs — Arden Hills, Roseville, and Fridley along I-35W and Highway 10, home to Land O'Lakes (Arden Hills) and Medtronic's operational headquarters (Fridley), with a hotel cluster in central Roseville.
