Minneapolis Visitor Center Opens on Nicollet Mall

Minneapolis has a new visitor center and store at the corner of Nicollet Mall and Fifth Street Downtown. At Minneapolis Visitor Information, people can shop for unique, locally made items and learn more about the city. The hours of operation are 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday.

Minneapolis Visitor Information is a partnership with Meet Minneapolis, Convention & Visitors Association; and CenterPoint Energy. Located at 505 Nicollet, directly across Fifth Street from the Nicollet METRO stop, the center and store are on the street-level corner of the CenterPoint Energy building, which was formerly part of Gaviidae Common.

Minneapolis Visitor Information includes three services in one convenient location:

• Partnering with St. Croix Promotions & Retail, the facility offers Minneapolis artisan retail products; area sports team logo merchandise; and Minneapolis, City by Nature-branded items.
  
• Move Minneapolis (formerly the Commuter Connection) is part of the new facility and will continue to provide services to commuters, carpool information, transit passes, schedules and maps, MnPasses, and bicycling commuting information and accessories.
  
• Meet Minneapolis staff will be available to answer questions from visitors, share visitor maps and help with suggestions about things to do in Minneapolis and the surrounding area. The Visitor Information Center in the Minneapolis Convention Center will remain open and available to provide similar information to visitors and convention attendees.
