Mystic Amphitheater
Prior Lake, MN · Amphitheater
Mystic Amphitheater is the open-air venue at Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, southwest of the Twin Cities, opened in 2024. It runs a clear bag policy. The bag you carry in has to be a clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC tote no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, or a small wristlet-style clutch up to 6 by 9 inches. A non-clear clutch cannot have a cross-body or fanny-pack strap.
Medical bags, including bags for breast-pumping equipment, can be larger and go through inspection. Camelback hydration packs are not allowed, but non-aerosol sunscreen and bug spray are fine to bring. Cameras have to be non-professional with no detachable lens. Bags are searched at entry, and you can decline a search, though the venue can decline you entry in return.
