Are you still planning to attend the auto show this weekend? If you are, show planners have some suggestions for making the show a pleasant experience:

Bring the family. Everyone will enjoy the new vehicles, race cars and antiques.

Wear comfortable shoes. It takes two to three hours to truly walk through and see the nearly 1,000 glistening new cars, trucks, vans and SUVs.

Pick up a free program. The floor plan helps you easily find the various brands displaying vehicles and navigate the show overall.

Consider using nearby lots and streets for parking. This can be an especially helpful tip because lines can form to enter the Minneapolis Convention Center's underground parking.
