About this Location

Facility Overview

Visionpay at the Armory serves as the primary designated parking facility for The Armory STL, one of Midtown St. Louis\'s premier entertainment and recreation mega-venues. Situated at 3660 Market Street, this spacious, paved open-air surface parking area accommodates visitors attending live music performances, social events, corporate gatherings, and food hall experiences. Because the facility operates as an open surface lot without overhead barriers or multi-level ceiling decks, it offers open-sky clearance that comfortably accommodates all vehicle types, from standard compacts and sedans to lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and high-roof passenger vans.
