Minot is located in North Dakota’s Ward County and it is commonly referred to as the “Magic City” because of its cargo rail hub. The city is tucked off major interstates but it is easily accessible by air travel because of Minot International Airport, which lies 3 kilometres from the downtown area.
To arrive in central Minot, passengers can book for car rental in Minot Airport and drive on N Broadway road. In four minutes, travellers can reach the city centre and find major attractions like the Minot Railroad Museum, the Scandinavian Heritage Centre and the Roosevelt Park and Zoo.
Plenty of shopping opportunities are available to visitors of Minot especially in the downtown area and at the shopping malls. Souvenirs can be purchased at the airport before leaving for a flight to Phoenix, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Las Vegas or Denver. Each year, as much as 42,000 passengers can be served by the airport.
Delta Connection, United Express and Allegiant Air are the three prominent carriers serving Minot Airport. Pay parking is available on-site as well as low cost car rental in Minot Airport, which can be pre-booked on the internet. The terminal’s second floor is home to various food and beverage concessions.
Transportation to Minot from the airport is limited to taxis and rental cars. When on a budget, car rentals are more ideal than relying on taxis and buses just to get around in the city. Driving is also ideal for visiting day trip destinations such as Rugby, Lake Sakakawea and the International Peace Garden.
