Localtime

When to arrive

Transit & the journey home

State Theatre is at 805 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis. It has no elevator: the operator directs patrons who cannot manage stairs to main-floor tickets.

Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.

Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Downtown garage entrance and walking route matter

What to do
The operator identifies the garage below La Salle Plaza with its entrance on Ninth Street. Take the garage elevator to street level and follow the promenade to State Theatre; this is separate from the theatre itself, which has no elevator. Check current ramp rate, hours and accessible spaces with the parking operator.
Best option
Compare La Salle Plaza and the owner’s current nearby-lot/reservation options, matching the garage entrance and final walk to 805 Hennepin Avenue.
Avoid
Do not treat a garage elevator or skyway as elevator access to State Theatre’s balcony. Downtown sports/events can add traffic, and the Church Lot’s Sunday 5 a.m.–2 p.m. closure may affect matinee plans.
