The Competition Committee has secured three hotel options for FCDA families!  Two are located in Minneapolis in the historic Depot complex and located near the venue, and the other one is 30 minutes away directly across the street from the Mall of America. Each has significant amenities depending on what families are looking for in their stay.  

 

 

Minneapolis' historic Depot complex: The last train left in 1971, but the Depot still stands as a monument of rail days gone by. For nearly seven decades, family members and loved ones stood at the atrium of the Depot and waved to passengers boarding the trains of the Milwaukee Road line. The Depot was a hub of activity during the late 1800s, and at the peak of activity in 1920, the prosperous Depot bustled with 29 trains departing daily. The Depot still stands as a monument to the classic travel experience. Today the fully-renovated Milwaukee Road Depot has re-opened its doors enhancing the revitalization movement of Minneapolis' Riverfront District.
