EVENT PARKING - Secure covered parking for only $6.00!

We have joined together with our generous parking sponsor, Thomas Properties Group, to offer inexpensive covered parking* at the One American Center parking garage, conveniently located one block from the theatres at 600 Congress.

Your $6.00 parking pass may be purchased at the garage entrance from the parking attendant (cash only). The garage will open two hours prior to performances (one hour prior to Paramount Presented films) and will close one hour after the performance.

*Parking is usually available for evening and weekend shows and films. Availability varies; please call (512) 472-5470 to see if your event offers parking.
