Visitor & Driver Tips

During weekday morning peak periods (8:00 AM to 9:30 AM), business traffic entering from I-93 can generate moderate delays on Revolution Drive; allow a few extra minutes for entry. Weekend evenings also see high leisure demand from shoppers and diners, making upper floors a reliable bet for fast, open parking spots. Always retain your entry ticket or note your license plate number, and pay at the interior automated kiosks near the elevator lobbies before returning to your vehicle to expedite your departure at the exit gates.
