Visitor & Driver Tips
Downtown Salt Lake City experiences heavy traffic spikes during weekday evening rush hours and major events at the Eccles Theater or Delta Center. If attending an evening show, plan to arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes ahead of curtain call to secure an optimal space and exit smoothly. For event nights, prepaying via parking apps or paying at the walk-up pay station prior to returning to your car will save substantial time at the exit gate arms. Keep in mind that winter driving in the Wasatch Front can bring snow and slush; structured covered parking here is especially advantageous for keeping your windshield clear and vehicle sheltered.
