Visitor & Driver Tips
Parking throughout RiverTown Crossings is complimentary for patrons. During peak weekend afternoons and busy holiday seasons, spaces closest to the primary mall entrances and cinema fill first; heading slightly further out along the peripheral lanes will save you circling time and provide effortless departures. Evening moviegoers should take note of their stall location relative to the nearest exterior doors, as interior mall concourses may close before late-night theater screenings conclude. Always lock your doors, conceal shopping bags or valuables in the trunk, and enter '3700 Rivertown Pkwy' into your GPS for accurate directional guidance to the mall's main loop road.
