GAME DAY TIPS
Tip #1: Local Eats & Treats
Fuel up before puck drop with local food and drinks in nearby Downtown St. Cloud! Grab classic comfort food at MC’s Dugout or 7 West Taphouse, enjoy a pre-game craft beer at Beaver Island Brewing Company, or pick up a burger, fries, and a milkshake from Val’s Rapid Serv.
Tip #2: Game Day Arrival
Beat the pre-puck drop rush by arriving 45 to 60 minutes early. Getting to the arena ahead of schedule gives you plenty of time to park, clear venue security, and grab your seats without missing a single second of action on the ice.
Tip #3: Recreation & Outdoor Fun
Turn game day into a full weekend getaway! Enjoy winter scenery with a hike or cross-country skiing through Quarry Park & Nature Preserve, or head downtown to browse local shops, check out the Paramount Center for the Arts, or stroll along the Mississippi River on the Beaver Island Trail.
Tip #4: Post-Game Celebration
Keep the energy going after the final buzzer! Head to Downtown St. Cloud to check out the local nightlife, grab food and drinks at The Pickled Loon, catch live music at the Red Carpet Nightclub, or grab a craft cocktail at the hidden Blue Goose Speakeasy.
Tip #5: Stay in the Area
Skip the late-night drive home on chilly roads and turn your game trip into a cozy staycation. Book a night at a convenient local spot like the Holiday Inn & Suites, Best Western Plus Kelly Inn, or Courtyard by Marriott so you can relax, explore the area at your own pace, and soak in everything Greater St. Cloud has to offer.
