Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before any major local event to avoid potential traffic congestion on 5th Ave. Always double-check your parking ticket or digital permit upon arrival to confirm your session duration. If you are visiting during the busy Troy Waterfront Farmers Market or other weekend festivals, consider pre-planning your route, as downtown streets can become quite crowded. We advise all drivers to verify the clearance height at the entrance if driving a taller vehicle.
