Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless parking experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 to 45 minutes prior to major events at nearby venues to avoid potential traffic congestion on Fannin Street. Always ensure that your dashboard is clear of valuables and that you observe any posted signage regarding permit-only sections or time-restricted zones. For those relying on GPS, ensure you input the specific street address as the downtown one-way system may require specific routing depending on your arrival direction.
