Directions & Parking
Over 2,000 Parking Spaces Available
During the Expo the free validated parking behind our store is only partially available, due to presence of expo tents.
We recommend nearby U of M parking ramps or lots. They offer all-day rates starting at 5:00p.m. on Friday and all-day Saturday and Sunday. The 19th Ave and 21st Ave ramps, and lots 86 and 94 are all close to Midwest Mountaineering and our U of M venues.
The 7 Corners Courtyard Hotel ramp is also a good option.
