About this Location

Facility Overview

The 185 S State St Garage, conveniently located at 149 E 200 S in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, is a well-maintained, multi-level covered parking structure designed to serve both daily commercial commuters and downtown visitors. Positioned just off 200 South between State Street and 2nd East, this multi-deck facility provides sheltered protection from Utah\'s seasonal elements, including winter snow and intense summer sun. The garage features standard-width parking bays, well-marked directional ramps, and designated accessible spaces. Due to standard overhead structural beams, the garage accommodates compact cars, sedans, crossovers, and standard SUVs comfortably. However, oversized commercial vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, and trucks with high lift kits or roof-mounted racks should verify entry clearance signage (standard 6-foot-8 to 7-foot ceiling threshold) prior to proceeding through the entrance gates.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Traffic along 200 South can increase notably during weekday evening rush hours and prior to curtain call at the Eccles Theater. Arrive 30 to 45 minutes ahead of scheduled theater shows or Gallivan Center concerts to secure a lower-level space and avoid pedestrian queues at the elevators. Keep your parking ticket or digital validation QR code handy to facilitate swift processing at the automated exit gates, and note your floor and pillar number before heading out into downtown.
