When you host a meeting in Greater St. Cloud, the “business” happens in the meeting space, but the “magic” often happens off-site. Whether you’re planning a sunset wellness walk along the Mississippi, a team-building mystery game at a local brewery, or a group dinner at one of our unique restaurant spots, getting your attendees there is a key part of the experience.
Logistics don’t have to be a headache. Here is how to keep your group moving smoothly so they can focus on the destination, not the directions.
Leverage Local Charter Experts
For larger groups, a centralized shuttle is the gold standard. It ensures everyone arrives at the same time, prevents parking bottlenecks, and allows for extra networking (or bus karaoke) en route.
Trobec’s Bus Service
A regional staple with over 80 years of experience. They offer different transportation options, including luxury motor coaches. Your professional chauffeur will make sure everyone travels safely and arrives when planned.
Voigt’s Bus Services
Perfect for a variety of scales, from sleek minibuses for smaller groups, luxury buses for larger groups and unique specialty vehicles for a true VIP experience.
Streamline Airport & Regional Transfers
For out-of-town attendees, the journey starts the moment they land.
Executive Express & Groome Transportation
These services are the lifelines between Greater St. Cloud and Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) International Airport. They offer scheduled shuttles and private charters, ensuring your attendees aren’t left stranded at baggage claim.
The Northstar Link
For a scenic and budget-friendly option, the Northstar Commuter Rail connects the Twin Cities to Big Lake, with a dedicated bus link that brings travelers right into the heart of St. Cloud.
On-Demand Flexibility
- Rideshare Ready: Both Uber and Lyft are active and reliable throughout the Greater St. Cloud area.
- St. Cloud Metro Bus: For environmentally conscious or budget-friendly groups, the local Metro Bus system is easy to navigate, with a central transit center that makes “hub-and-spoke” travel simple.
Pro Tip: The Walkability Factor
The best transportation logistics? Sometimes it’s no transportation at all! When you book venues like the River’s Edge Convention Center, your guests are within easy walking distance of several restaurants, local shops, and scenic river trails. The Park Event Center has Maverick’s Streak & Cocktails right onsite!
