METRO A Line
Take the METRO A Line, with fast, frequent bus rapid transit service on Snelling Ave. between 46th St. Station and Rosedale, right to the fairgrounds. Ride the METRO Green Line between the two downtowns and transfer to the METRO A Line at Snelling Ave. Station.
NOTE: To keep A Line buses arriving at regular intervals despite heavy traffic, we’ll be using longer buses when possible, monitoring service, and putting more buses into the rotation as needed. The goal is to have buses showing up at stations every 10 minutes between 8 a.m. and 11:30 p.m. every day of the fair.

It's an easy ride on Route 3 from downtown Minneapolis or downtown St. Paul to a stop at the fairgrounds on Como Ave.
Route 61
Route 61 runs from downtown Minneapolis or downtown St. Paul to stops north of the fairgrounds on Larpenteur Ave.
