The arena’s hotel page lists it directly across the street from Grand Casino Arena, with Wild Bill’s Sports Saloon, an indoor pool, a whirlpool and a fitness center.
Parking and breakfast weren’t confirmed: the arena’s page doesn’t list them and the brand site couldn’t be read, so ask when you book.
Getting to the game
Walk to 199 West Kellogg Boulevard. Holiday Inn St. Paul Downtown is directly across the street, and The Saint Paul Hotel describes the arena as a short walk.
Getting back
Walk back the same way, or stop at a West 7th pub on the way.
A Lowertown hotel inside the restored former St. Paul Post Office and Custom House, with free breakfast, an indoor pool and The Placery lobby bar. The arena’s page lists 15% off for arena event stays.
A hotel off I-94, 5 minutes from downtown by the arena’s count, with complimentary parking and shuttle service to and from the arena, and suites with a separate living area.
From downtown on footDowntown and West Seventhwalk
Getting there
Walk to the arena at 199 West Kellogg Boulevard. Holiday Inn St. Paul Downtown is directly across the street; from Rice Park, the arena’s recommended accessible entrance is the Rice Park Entrance on Washington Avenue, behind the Herb Brooks statue. Doors open 75 minutes before puck drop.
Getting back
Walk back the same way. There’s no re-entry, so leave only when you’re done.
From June 1 through November, City of Saint Paul sidewalk work on westbound Kellogg Boulevard runs directly in front of the arena; access to Gates 1 and 2 is marked, and the skyway over Kellogg stays open. No walking times are published.
Start at Alary’s, 139 7th Street East, and ride its shuttle to the Wild game. If you drive, Alary’s validates free parking in the Block 19 Ramp next door when you enter after 4 p.m. on weekdays or anytime on weekends and make a purchase.
Getting back
Alary’s runs its shuttles to and from Wild games; ride back to Lowertown after the game.
Alary’s posts shuttle schedules on its Facebook page, not its website, so check the times for your game. It’s Alary’s shuttle, not the arena’s or a hotel’s.
Walk west across downtown to the arena at 199 West Kellogg Boulevard. The arena’s hotel page describes walkable access from Hyatt Place in Lowertown.
Getting back
Walk back east across downtown.
No walking time or route is published. The downtown skyway links buildings on the second floor, but no source confirms an indoor route all the way from Lowertown to the arena.
Drive in and park by the arenaSaint Paul East, off I-94drive
Getting there
Drive downtown and park in the RiverCentre Parking Ramp (150 West Kellogg Blvd) or the underground Kellogg Parking Ramp (129 West Kellogg Blvd), both connected to the arena complex. The Wild sell guaranteed parking in advance through ParkWhiz.
Getting back
Walk back to your ramp. During the Kellogg Boulevard work, you can’t exit the RiverCentre ramp westbound onto Kellogg; from the Kellogg ramp, turn right and U-turn at the signal to head east.
No ramp rates or hours are published on the arena’s or the Wild’s pages. The Kellogg ramp has a 7-foot height clearance, and arena parking is card or mobile payment only.

The tradeoff
The closest hotels don’t publish parking prices on the arena’s page, and InterContinental parking is valet only, at a nightly charge. Patrick McGovern’s doesn’t take reservations during events.
