Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport pet relief areas
MSP pet relief area
To find the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) pet relief area for the Lindbergh Terminal, go to the baggage claim level and exit Door 1. Follow the orange signs, which lead you to a small, partially-fenced space lined with soft wood chips. There are poop bags and a bench for humans, and there are several rocks, positioned vertically to appeal to male dogs. It’s minimal, and really too small for more than one dog at a time, but I appreciated the bench.
If you’re traveling on AirTran, Icelandair, Southwest or Sun Country, you’ll arrive instead at the Humphrey Terminal. According to MSP, “at the Humphrey Terminal travelers should use the grassy area just outside and to the right of Door 6 on Level 1 near Baggage Claim.” At the baggage claim level, look for baggage carousel D. Door 6 is directly across from it. Exit the building, turn right, and you’ll see a nice patch of grass at the end of the sidewalk (there are additional patches of grass across the airport roadway, but crossing the roadway is forbidden, and for good reason).
The Humphrey Terminal pet relief area is significantly nicer than the Lindbergh Terminal area, but it’s not trivial to get from one terminal to the other. It took Chloe and me a solid half hour on a quiet Sunday afternoon, and involved taking the airport tram, transferring to light rail and traveling one stop, and walking for quite a distance in the Humphrey Terminal garage.
