The theatre has no garage of its own. It points drivers to the U.S. Bank Center garage, about a block and a half away, with entrances on Union Street between 5th and 6th Avenues and on 6th Avenue between Union and Pike. The Union Square garage at 601 Union Street is another option, though its tunnel route includes steep stairs. There are also pay lots nearby, and metered street parking is limited, so read the posted hours on the block. A rideshare drop-off saves hunting for a space.
For parking at the restaurant itself, see our parking and directions page.
