The first step and fastest way to get a permit to shoot in a Minneapolis park is to completely fill out and send in a permit application.  Completed applications can be faxed, scanned or e-mailed to the Park Board.  Click here to download the permit application form. Park Board staff cannot respond to permit requests until they have received an application.  Be sure to provide as much information as possible to assist Park Board staff in correctly assessing your fee. 

Christopher James, Associate Director, Public Relations

A permit from the Airport Director's Office is required for anyone without valid media credentials wishing to conduct commercial photo shoots or filming at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport or on any Metropolitan Airports Commission-owned properties, including the Reliever Airports. Permit applicants also must pay all applicable location, labor and administrative fees and provide required proof of insurance prior to taking photos or filming. Photo shoots or filming in areas leased by airlines, food or retail concessions, or other entities also require approval of the respective leaseholder.
