One of the unique features of this year’s event is the location itself. Valleyfair’s parking lot has been transformed into an outdoor rink surrounded by the towering coasters and attractions of the amusement park.

The sight of players taking selfies on the ice with roller coasters in the background is a testament to the spirit of the event.
Parking is made easy, with on-site options for $25 or convenient shuttle services from nearby locations like Mystic Lake Casino or Eden Prairie Transit Station. Tickets can be purchased online, with single-day and four-day passes available for those planning to immerse themselves in all the action.
For many, this isn’t just about hockey; it’s about community. Players, fans, and families come together to celebrate their shared passion for the sport. And while the games are fierce and competitive, the camaraderie off the ice is just as memorable. From bitterly cold mornings to thrilling overtime moments, Hockey Day Minnesota is a powerful reminder of why this state cherishes its hockey culture.
So bundle up, grab your tickets, and head to Valleyfair.
