Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Northwoods Credit Union Arena

1102 Olympic Drive

Cloquet, MN 55720

Located within Pine Valley Park, the arena sits approximately 20 miles southwest of Duluth, MN — close enough for an easy drive yet firmly rooted in Cloquet’s community life.

• Parking: On-site parking available at the arena.
• Public Transit: Public transit options vary — check your local transit authority for routes near Cloquet.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are recommended. Designated pickup and dropoff zones are typically available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive about 60 minutes before your event. That window gives you time to park, pass through entry lines at a relaxed pace, and find your seats before puck drop or program start. With parking adjacent to the building, you’ll enjoy an easy walk right up to the doors.

Weather’s rarely a concern here — it’s an indoor arena — but winter in Minnesota can still affect travel. If conditions are snowy or icy, give yourself a few extra minutes for safe driving and parking. Checking the event status early in the day is always a smart move, especially for back-to-back activities on busy community days.

If you’re coordinating with friends or family, choose a clear meetup spot outside the main entrance or in the lobby as you arrive. That way, even if your group drives separately, you’ll reconnect quickly and head in together.

Venue Navigation

As an arena and convention center, the building’s footprint is straightforward — entrances lead to concourses and multipurpose spaces that can be reconfigured for hockey games, trade shows, banquets, and community programs. For most events, you’ll follow posted signs to your seating or event area.

Concessions and restrooms are typically positioned for convenient access during intermissions and breaks. Merchandise stands and community tables may be added for team games or special gatherings. If your event involves moving between spaces — say, from a showcase to the rink — allow a few extra minutes to comfortably navigate the concourse.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Bag policies vary by event — please review your event listing and check the venue's official website for the latest guidelines before you go.
• Prohibited Items: Prohibited items vary by event — please review your event listing and venue policy updates prior to arrival.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Dress in light layers — ice arenas can feel cool even indoors.
• If you’re driving from Duluth, check traffic and weather to time your arrival about 60 minutes before start.

Pre-Event Planning

Turn event day into a mini-adventure. Because the arena sits within Pine Valley Park, you can pair your ticketed experience with time outside — enjoy the park’s scenic walking paths or, in season, ski trails before heading in for the game or gathering. It’s a great way to make the most of your trip, especially for families or groups arriving early.

Coordinating with a crowd? Share tickets in advance and pick a meeting spot near the main entrance or lobby. If you’re planning around a busy Northwoods Credit Union Arena schedule, consider staggering arrival times — have one driver handle parking while others pick up concessions or settle into seats. This simple plan keeps things smooth, especially for youth groups or multi-family outings.

If you’re coming from Duluth or other nearby communities, map your route and confirm the event’s start time in the morning. A quick check ensures you’re aligned with the day’s activities and gives you the chance to explore Pine Valley Park or nearby dining without rushing.

Accessibility

Accessibility accommodations vary by event. Please review your event details and contact the venue directly — or reach out to Ticket Purchase support — in advance to confirm available accessibility options.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.
