Orange Upgraded Lot
UPGRADED ONSITE – Must purchase in advance
The UPGRADED ONSITE PARKING lot is $45 dollars. The benefit to the upgraded parking is that you bypass all of the traffic. If that isn’t enough you will be glad you did especially after spending a long day at the show. Upon leaving you exit onto a private road which takes you back to the highway bypassing all of the main parking lot congestion. (This lot sells out every year so buy your tickets in advance online, as these are not sold at the show).
DIRECTIONS: (From the Twin Cities) Take I-35 N into Duluth. Once in Duluth, take the Mesabi Avenue Exit and stay on that until Mesabi Avenue intersects with Central Entrance. Take a left onto Central Entrance (194) and proceed about 5 miles it becomes US 53 N (Miller Trunk Highway). Stay on US 53 N for 3 miles and look for the Airshow UPGRADED ONSITE PARKING signs.
