Treasure Island Amphitheater Parking

Navigating parking options represents a crucial aspect of planning a visit to Treasure Island Amphitheater. The venue’s location approximately 40 minutes south of the Twin Cities means most attendees arrive by car, making parking availability, cost, and convenience important considerations. Understanding the various options helps concertgoers minimize pre-show stress and arrive at performances relaxed and ready to enjoy the entertainment.

Parking delays typically occur within two hours of show time as thousands of attendees converge on the venue simultaneously. This predictable congestion makes early arrival advisable, particularly for high-demand shows that approach the venue’s 16,000-person capacity. Planning for these delays prevents missed opening acts and reduces the frustration associated with traffic backups.

On-Site Main Lot Parking

Treasure Island Resort & Casino provides extensive on-site parking that serves both the amphitheater and other resort facilities. These lots offer the most convenient access to the concert venue, with walking distances significantly shorter than off-site alternatives. The proximity to the venue entrance makes these spaces particularly valuable for those with mobility concerns or when inclement weather threatens.

Parking in the main venue lots operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with no advance reservations available for standard parking. This system incentivizes early arrival to secure preferred spots closer to the amphitheater entrance. During peak arrival times, parking attendants direct traffic to maximize efficiency and ensure all available spaces are utilized.

The cost structure for on-site parking varies by event, with information typically provided on the venue’s website or event pages. Some shows include parking in the ticket price, while others charge separately. Checking this information in advance helps attendees budget appropriately and arrive prepared with necessary payment methods.

Weather Warning

Be sure to check out weather warnings ahead of your visit. Sometimes, high water levels will close access to County Road 54 (Ravenna Trail) between 185th Street in Hastings and County Road 91.  If you’re coming to The Island from the north, please take Highway 316 to 200th Street East (County Road 68) instead.
