Wi-Fi at home and around Minneapolis

Polish that presentation outdoors at Peavey Plaza or kick back with your laptop in the Mall of America on a snowy day. Wherever you find yourself, there’s likely a free Wi-Fi provider in your area of Minneapolis.

Of course, you won’t enjoy the ultra-fast Quantum Fiber Internet® connection you can get at home, but sometimes we all need a change of scenery. From coffee shops to art museums, use this helpful Minneapolis Wi-Fi map to find the best places to connect across the city.

Hennepin County’s largest library, the Minneapolis Central Library, is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday–Thursday and closes at 5 p.m. on weekends (on Sunday it opens at noon). Log in to the HCL_Public network and accept the terms—no password required. Wi-Fi and printing (10 cents a page for black-and-white) are available at all Hennepin County library locations.

There’s free Wi-Fi throughout the Minneapolis Institute of Art, plus a garden and café. You can also connect at the Walker Art Center and its neighboring outdoor Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. There’s also free Wi-Fi at the Mill City Museum, including in their café, Bushel & Peck. 


You can also connect while cheering on the Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, the Timberwolves at Target Center, or the Twins at Target Field. In fact, U.S. Bank Stadium made history as one of the first major stadiums to blanket its interior with Wi-Fi hotspots, including over 1,300 access points hidden within handrails.

When it’s a true work-from-home day, Quantum Fiber internet gets you connected at speeds of up to 200 Mbps, up to 500 Mbps, up to 1 Gig and even multi-gig speeds in select locations of up to 2 Gig, up to 3 Gig and 8 Gig. That means plenty of bandwidth for smooth video calls, even when roommates and kids are gaming or streaming in 4K at the same time.
