Andover Community Center Andover MN: Visitor Guide

Andover Community Center Hours & Activity Schedules

The indoor walking track publishes a regular operating window of 6:30 AM–9:00 PM daily, subject to closures and scheduling changes. Other activities do not necessarily operate throughout those hours.

How to check the exact time

1. Open the official ACC activity schedules.
2. Select Field House, Ice Rinks, Walking Track or Turf.
3. Open the current monthly calendar.
4. Find the date, activity and time you want.
5. Confirm age restrictions, admission and any equipment requirement.
6. Call 763-755-3238 if the session is essential to your trip.

Admission Fees, Punch Cards & Resident Savings

The City offers individual activity admissions, prepaid punch cards and a special annual pass package for qualifying Andover residents.

2026 Andover Resident Special Package

The free annual resident package includes 15 activity passes and unlimited walking-track access from January through December 2026. It is limited to one package per eligible City of Andover household.

1. Check residency. You must live within the City of Andover, not merely have an Andover mailing address.
2. Check your existing account. Previous recreation registrations or rentals may mean you already have a FinnlyConnect account.
3. Add household members. Register all eligible household members under the primary adult’s account.
4. Email the center. Send your account name, address and existing ACC card number, if any, to accinfo@andovermn.gov.
5. Wait for confirmation. Staff load the passes and walking-track privileges into the account.
6. Collect the card. Present a valid driver’s license or current utility bill if you need to pick up an ACC card.

Official 2026 Resident Pass Instructions

Because this package expires after December 2026, verify the following year’s terms before using this process in 2027.

2026–27 After-School Student Activity Pass

ACC requires an After School Student Activity Pass for eligible middle- and high-school students who want to use specified recreational spaces 2:30–4:45 PM on school days.

How parents can purchase the pass

1. Open the official 2026–27 student-pass page.
2. Read the code of conduct, eligibility and check-in requirements.
3. Check whether the parent already has a FinnlyConnect account.
4. Add each student to the parent or guardian’s household account.
5. Purchase the individual student pass using the City’s linked system.
6. Under Account Details and Membership, open the membership card and save the student’s QR code.
7. Make sure the student brings their school ID and uses Door #13 to check in.

Each eligible child must have their own pass. Friends without their own qualifying pass cannot simply enter under another student’s membership.

Tot Time, Youth Lessons & Older Adult Programs

Tot Time Open Gym

Tot Time is a nonstructured indoor play program for children ages 6 and under. The City’s published seasonal materials show it commonly operating on Mondays and Thursdays during October–April, with school-calendar exclusions.

• Adult supervision is required, with a 1:4 adult-to-child ratio.
• No advance registration is generally needed for drop-in sessions.
• The January 2026 schedule listed $5 per child.
• Sessions can feature age-appropriate play equipment, crafts, stories and other activities.
• Tot Time does not normally meet when Anoka-Hennepin District 11 schools are not in session.

The $5 rate and session times come from a 2026 seasonal calendar, so verify the new season’s rate and dates before attending.

Other recreation programs

ACC also offers or has hosted ice-skating lessons, youth soccer, sports activities and introductory recreational programs. Availability varies by term.

For older adults, published offerings include walking-track access, pickleball, book club, bingo, potlucks and educational sessions. Some are coordinated with the YMCA and may have nonmember charges.

Families comparing preschool activities, recreation and school-age programs can read our Kittery Community Center program guide. Kittery operates under different local policies.

Birthday Parties, Meeting Rooms, Ice & Gym Rentals

Andover Community Center offers private gym, skating, turf and meeting-space rentals. The City publishes packaged birthday options with set activity and party-room periods.

How to reserve a party

1. Choose gym, ice or seasonal turf based on the child’s age and preferred activity.
2. Check the current package details and seasonal limitations.
3. Estimate the number of children and adults attending.
4. Prepare a preferred date plus a backup date.
5. Call 763-767-5169 to request availability and confirm the total price.
6. Ask about equipment, skate rentals, food, decorations, payment deadlines and cancellations.
7. Complete the official reservation and keep written confirmation.

Meeting room, private ice and other facility rentals may require separate quotes. Do not assume a party-package price applies to a private tournament or group event. For another example of public recreation rental rules, see the Southeast Community Center rental and facility guide.

Activity Cancellation & Refund Rules

ACC has published specific policies for City recreation programs and lessons:

• If the center cancels an activity because of insufficient enrollment, registration fees are returned.
• Withdrawal at least 7 days before the program starts normally results in a refund minus a $5 processing fee.
• Withdrawal fewer than 7 days before the start normally results in a 50% refund.
• Medical emergencies require physician verification for consideration of a partial refund.
• Missed activity sessions are not refunded or made up.
• Refund requests should be sent to accinfo@andovermn.gov.

These program rules are separate from the nonrefundable after-school student pass and birthday-party payment provisions.

Use the full Hanson Boulevard NW address for car navigation or rideshare. Parking and entry doors may differ during tournaments, YMCA programs and private events. Students attending the after-school activity program should use Door #13 as instructed by ACC.

Before You Visit: 8 Quick Checks

• Confirm which activity you want: field house, ice, track, turf or YMCA facilities.
• Read the exact monthly schedule, not just general building hours.
• Check whether the session requires a wristband or registration.

• Check whether an ACC resident pass can cover admission.
• Bring appropriate shoes, skates or other equipment.
• For students, bring the required pass QR code and school ID.
• For rentals, confirm your reservation and payment terms before arrival.

Best question to ask: “Is [activity] available on [date] at [time], what is the current admission price, and which entrance should we use?”
