Minneapolis Light Rail Minneapolis's new light rail is the fastest way to use mass transit to get from the airport to downtown. The fare is $2.25 during rush hours and $1.75 at all other times. At the airport, follow the signs to board the light rail train. Pay your fare before boarding the train. (You can also ask for a transfer when you board.) Take a seat, and keep your proof of payment available to show to a police officer if asked. Exit the train at the Nicollet Mall Station. Approximate travel time is 20 minutes. When you exit, you will be at Nicollet Mall and Fifth Street. Walk South on Nicollet Mall (no cars) to 12th Street (seven blocks – a little over half a mile). Westminster is on the corner of 12th and Nicollet. Alternatively, cross Nicollet and use your transfer to get a bus to the church. (Ask the driver to be sure it stops there.)
Rental car From the airport, take MN Hwy 5 east to MN Hwy 55. Go west on Hwy 55 to MN Hwy 62. After about four miles on Hwy 62, exit to I-35W northbound to downtown. After about 4.8 miles on I-35W, follow the “Downtown Exits” sign, which will veer you to the left. Take I-35W North to 11th Street exit and continue for two blocks. Turn left on 2nd Avenue, and follow it past the Convention Center. Turn right on Marquette Avenue. The church will be on your left, between 13th and 12th Streets.
There are comprehensive driving directions to the church on their website, www.ewestminster.org/directions_parking.
