Mall of America launches long-term, overnight parking program for travelers
North America’s largest shopping and entertainment center is launching a new program for locals who have travel plans.
Mall of America is launching “Park | Shop | Fly,” a new long-term and overnight parking program designed to offer travelers and guests a “secure, convenient and cost-effective” alternative to traditional airport and metro-area parking. For only $12 per night (tax included), guests can park, shop, dine, enjoy attractions and seamlessly connect to the nearby Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, or to downtown events all from one location.
Mall of America has shared the following details on how the new program works:
- The long-term and overnight parking is available in P7 East, a level of a secure parking ramp on the East side of the Mall with more than 900 dedicated spaces.
- Guests are encouraged to reserve a parking spot online, where they receive a QR code for quick, contactless entry and exit.
- Drive-up parking is also available (based on capacity), with payment made via phone or credit card at the gate.
- Parking fees apply only if a vehicle remains parked after midnight.
- Upon arrival, guests are guided by clear way-finding signage to the designated parking area.
- Direct elevator access is available to the rideshare pickup location and Metro Transit station, with average travel times to MSP terminals under 10 minutes and just a short ride beyond that to downtown events and attractions.
- Guests are responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from the airport or downtown.
- P7 East ramp is equipped with 24/7 security monitoring, patrols, cameras, emergency call boxes, and controlled badge-reader access at the elevator bank.
- Guests must keep their parking ticket or QR Code on hand to re-enter the facility.
- Security staff are available to assist guests as needed.
“This program reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and guest experience,” said Rich Hoge, chief operating officer at Mall of America. “By combining technology, security and accessibility, ‘Park | Shop | Fly’ offers a reliable and affordable overnight parking solution, while giving visitors the chance to enjoy everything the Mall has to offer.”
