Parking at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota

Construction may affect your arrival and departure plans at Mayo Clinic’s downtown Rochester campus. Visit the Rochester Construction Updates webpage for information to help you arrive safely for your appointments, including parking and drop-offs, best routes to your appointments, road closures and construction.

Many Mayo Clinic visitors find they can avoid driving downtown altogether by taking advantage of free hotel shuttles, walking from nearby accommodations, or using taxis or ride-share services like Uber and Lyft.

If you do plan to drive, we recommend checking the Rochester Construction Updates webpage within 24 hours of your appointment. Once you arrive, you’ll have several parking options. Here’s what you need to know:

Each of Mayo's downtown campus ramps are connected by pedestrian subways to other Mayo Clinic buildings — so you won't have to go outside if you don't want to. And all Mayo Clinic ramps have handicapped-accessible parking spots.
