Getting there

Drop-off and pick-up, including rideshare, buses and accessible drop-off, are in front of the building on 2nd Avenue South.
Free Ride buses run along Nicollet Mall to and from the convention center. The skyway links it to nearby hotels and restaurants, so you can stay indoors.
Parking can be booked ahead on SpotHero, or the Loring Park Ramp for $10 a day through ParkWhiz. Accessible parking is in the 3rd Ave and Plaza ramps.
Pick up your badge at registration, which is also where to ask about mailed badges. Badges don't carry names.

Ask at registration for an accessibility wristband, for you and one companion (both need a badge). It doesn't guarantee seats, early hall entry or priority for autographs and photo ops.
Accessible panel seating is limited and first come, first served. For rooms that are cleared between panels, an accessibility line forms outside; staff can point you to it.
ASL interpreters are at every Main Stage and Hero Stage daytime panel. For other panels, ask ahead with Twin Cities Con's ASL request form.
Wheelchairs ($20 a day) and scooters ($50 a day) are rented at the Visitor Information Center by the main entrance on Level One; they can't be booked ahead and go back each day. Visa, Mastercard or Discover only; call 612-335-6040 to check.
The building has automatic and power-assist doors, and elevators to every event space.
Service animals are welcome. Emotional support and comfort animals only if they're trained for a specific task.

There's no set bag policy, but all bags can be searched.
Kids 13 and under must be with an adult (an adult is recommended for under 18s). Kids' tickets are for ages 2 to 13; under 2s get in free.
Photo ops fit up to 4 people. The photo op schedule usually comes out a week or two before the show.
Lost something? Search the convention center's online lost and found.

Most guests take cash and cards; the ones who take only cash have an asterisk on the pricing sheet.
There are two ATMs inside the convention center.

Prop weapons made of light materials like cardboard or foam are fine; staff and security decide case by case.
Not allowed: real or realistic firearms, projectile weapons, metal blades, whips, explosives, bats and other blunt weapons, and loud props like horns or whistles.
There's nowhere to store banned items at the show; anyone carrying one is walked out.

Outside food and drink aren't allowed, unless you need it for dietary restrictions.
Bring an empty water bottle: you can fill it inside.
Food in the building includes Dunn Brothers Coffee in the main lobby, Mill City Pizza Kitchen and the Craft Bar & Lounge. The Mill City cafés have a halal menu.

Every restroom has accessible stalls.
Gender-neutral family restrooms are on Level Two, Level One and the Lower Level.
There are two lactation lounges; ask at the Visitor Information Center or call 612-335-6040.

There's a Quiet Room; Twin Cities Con hasn't confirmed which room it's in for 2026 yet.
The convention center has guest services staff and a 24-hour security team.
