Parking
Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Downtown garage parking; confirm the chosen garage and discount
- What to do
- Use the current Directions + Parking page to choose and book a garage. The owner’s FAQ and parking page disagree about validation at garages other than Millennium Park; confirm the specific garage and rate with the box office before relying on a discount.
- Best option
- Millennium Park Garage is the owner’s closest option: enter at 5 South Columbus Drive, follow Harris Theater/Randolph Street Pedestrian Exit signs, then use the elevators to street level for the Upper Randolph entrance.
- Avoid
- Millennium Park and Lakeside share the 5 South Columbus approach but have different internal signs and pedestrian routes. Do not follow Lakeside signs when your booking is for Millennium Park; the garage is not a direct lobby entrance.
