...MarsCon will return to:
Hilton Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport Mall of America
3800 American Blvd E
Bloomington, Minnesota
USA 55425
952-854-2100
Map & directions
The Hilton is mostly accessible by mass transit... it’s about 4/10ths of a mile from the American Blvd LRT stop. There are also shuttles to the LRT stop, the airport, and the Mall of America. If you have trouble walking (perhaps due to luggage or snow) the best transit option is probably bus or train to MoA, then take the hotel shuttle.
Having your own room gives you site to store your stuff, a place to park your paraphernalia, a closet to contain your costumes, and somewhere to sleep. Sleeping sometime over the weekend is a good idea, and less travel time over the weekend gives you more time to be at the con.
We will provide a link to book rooms in the MarsCon room block when the hotel gets it set up. Room rates are the same as for MarsCon 2022: $99.00 + tax per night (run of the house) or $123.00 + tax per night (junior suites). The cutoff date for this rate is Thursday, Feb 16, 2023.
Parking continues to be spotty at best. We will work with the hotel to line up additional space, but we strongly suggest ridesharing/cab/Uber/Lyft/LRT. Hint: if you book a sleeping room you only have to park your chariot once.
At the risk of repeating ourselves, we recommend carpooling or mass transit to reach MarsCon. But if you do drive and find the Hilton parking lot is full, there will be overflow parking (somewhere).
MarsCon is a fan-run science fiction convention for all ages held every March in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area. At MarsCon you’ll find panel discussions, parties, guest of honor presentations, science and science fiction, our art show, film/anime room, gaming, dealers room, charity auction, and masquerade. But wait, there's more! Our Con-In-a-Con Comedy Music track attracts performers—and listeners—from across the country.
