A small train station officially named Minnehaha Depot but also known as "the Princess Depot" was built around 1875; it was a stop on the Milwaukee Road railroad and provided easy access to the park from Fort Snelling and Minneapolis.
The depot handled as many as 39 round trips per day.
The interior is complete and well-preserved, containing an iron heating stove, waiting room benches and a ticket window.
 In 1964, the title was transferred to the Minnesota Historical Society.
The Minnesota Transportation Museum assisted in the restoration of the building, and today provides historic interpretation.
 The depot is open in the summer on Sundays from 1:30 to 4:30.
The 50th Street / Minnehaha Park light rail station of the METRO Blue Line currently serves the park.
