Parking is a breeze as they have a lot on site. A handful of guards and security measures upon entering. They are a little bit intimidating at first, but very nice! Just doing their job to protect. I sat down and waited only a couple minutes for my number to be called, and then the process of getting my new Social Security card for a name change only took around five minutes. The agent was very thorough and friendly!

The staff is friendly and the wait times are usually short compared to other DMV's I've been to. They do not handle driver's license renewals so that is good to be aware of. They do accept credit cards for a nominal fee.

Taking eight years to complete, the Hennepin County Government Center opened in 1977, to…read moreconsolidate county government and judicial function in an indoor setting. It is 24 stories, 403 feet tall, and consists of two towers, connected by a very impressive atrium. My wife and I spent a Minneapolis weekday afternoon, exploring downtown using the Minneapolis Skyway System (which itself is extremely impressive: second level pedestrian bridges connecting 80 city blocks with 9.5 miles of walkway). We ended up at the Center, which was different than the other places: the center is a giant indoor atrium that sits above 6th street, connecting the two towers, all indoors. This means that for office workers looking outside from the towers, the view could be that of a giant indoor space, matching close outdoor space which could get quite cold. It's a great marriage of how the Skyway flows into the atrium, almost presenting a model of how an underwater city might look like, with a giant 400 feet high open space. It also reminds me of the design on some of the giant cruise boats that I've recently been on, and maybe even being inside of a snow globe, watching a large Minneapolis snow storm, passing through. It's a great example of thoughtful design and great engineering.

Went here on a Saturday for a wedding. They did give instructions on how to enter the building…read moreafter hours but I didn't even know where to enter or which side was the "north door". You can't see into the tinted windows and they were pretty much watching me be lost in the courtyard, lol. A security guard eventually walked up to me to help and opened the door for me to wait with the others inside. I've never been to this building and not sure how courthouse weddings work but we were guided upstairs once everyone got there and the quick ceremony was right in the upstairs lobby just standing around. We were able to stay and take a few pics and left out. They had a bit of construction going on and some areas closed off since the building was technically closed. No good solid areas to take photos though.

My experience with Bloomington Police Department left me and my family feeling frustrated and…read moreunsupported. What I believed was a family matter that occurred during a stressful and emotional situation quickly escalated into an arrest. What was most upsetting was the lack of communication afterward. My family was not given clear information about where my sister was being taken, who to contact, or what the next steps would be. We spent hours worried and searching for answers during an already difficult time. As a result of this experience, my trust in law enforcement has been affected. I understand officers have a difficult job and must make decisions based on the circumstances they observe. However, I believe better communication, more compassion, and clearer guidance for families would have made a very stressful situation easier to navigate. I am sharing this feedback in the hope that other families going through difficult situations receive better communication and support

My daughter and I went there and it is tight security there. You only can get to the lobby and you must state why you are there or what you need. Once I told them they patched through to the officer who said he would drop it off after an emergency they were in. We waited a while at home but finally had to call as I needed it. He came in about 20 minutes to our home, apologized...saying " I bet you never wanted to see my face again!" after giving me a ticket....It was ok I said. Never feel good about getting a ticket. I felt like the kid in the candy jar. Its much different there than Chicago. Peaceful neighbohoods...people taking their time. The moral of the story watch those MPH signs on Bloomington street as they change block to block.... and if you are not aware..oops. If you are fortunate enough to be stopped by the officer I had...he was kind but did his job. Normandale is 45mph all the way to 494...a much better route I quickly took when headed back to Chi Town.

I was a little nervous so I called ahead of time - they do in fact allow for passport applications without appointments, but will serve appointments first. We came in, checked in on the screen and were served within 2 minutes! I was shocked but very pleased. We had all our documents ready to go. Service was quick and efficient and the lady at the window was very kind and personable, though I think she was new and being trained because the lady behind her was a bit quiet and focused. Regardless, we were treated well and both ladies were efficient and helpful. There is an ample amount of seating and the area is beautiful, filled with real plants and greenery. It looked clean and there are vending machines available. It's connected to a Library so if you have little ones and have a long wait, you can hop on over there.
