Where to Stay When Visiting Thrivent (Minneapolis)
Thrivent's headquarters is in downtown Minneapolis. Downtown and the airport ride the METRO light rail; the suburbs need a car. Which one your campus is in decides the trip.
Thrivent is a Fortune 500 financial-services membership organization (a fraternal benefit society), headquartered at 901 Marquette Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55402. That's downtown Minneapolis — the Nicollet Mall corridor and the skyway-linked core where Target, U.S. Bancorp, Xcel Energy, Ameriprise, and Thrivent tower over a walkable (and, in winter, indoor) grid, on the METRO light rail.
“Thrivent is on Marquette downtown. Stay in the core a short walk or skyway away and ride the light rail from MSP.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
