Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Downtown lots, ramps and closing times vary

What to do
The operator’s access page identifies a nearby surface lot with Hennepin/Eighth Street approaches and Seventh Street drop-off near Hennepin. Verify the current lot entrance, rate and accessible spaces before travel; the current district guide also offers show-linked reservations and nearby public lots.
Best option
Compare the owner’s Pantages parking options and reserve a suitable lot when useful; confirm the final walk or drop-off to 710 Hennepin Avenue, including any access requirements.
Avoid
Check lot operating hours rather than assuming overnight access or free event parking. The owner lists 810 Hennepin as closed midnight–6 a.m.; its Church Lot is closed Sundays 5 a.m.–2 p.m. Check current downtown road controls and your return journey.
