Parking In The Theater District

Theater District Parking is a vital, hidden asset that serves Houston's central business district round the clock and the downtown performing arts facilities during show times. The garage spans 18 underground blocks and consists of 3,369 parking spaces. At street level, the garage is situated below Jones Plaza, Bayou Place and Tranquillity Park. Parking couldn’t be more convenient for a night on the town.

Theater District Parking Garage Hours:

• Mondays-Fridays, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
• Saturdays and Sundays, Noon-11 p.m.
• Cost of parking is $12; hourly parking is not available until further notice.

The underground parking were hit hard by Hurricane Harvey when flood waters filled all three levels with more than 270 million gallons of water. Although the garages are operational, additional work remains before they are fully restored.

Trams will be available to shuttle those customers who need assistance. Customers should notify a garage attendant upon arrival, if they need this service.

The Theater District underground parking garage includes three garages (green, yellow and blue), which span 18 underground blocks and consists of 3,369 parking spaces. 

PARKING UPDATE FOR JULY 2019: JONES HALL TUNNEL CLOSURE

Maintenance has temporarily closed the tunnel between the underground Theater District Parking Garage and Jones Hall beginning July 1, 2019. Access to Jones Hall is available from the street-level entrance only. Use parking garage stairs L, M, N, or O to exit to street level across from Jones Hall, or the elevator at nearby Bayou Place.

For patrons with limited mobility:  There is also a drop-off lane on Louisiana St. for use before and after the concert. Additionally, complimentary golf cart taxis are available by request when entering the garage, and will be available in front of Jones Hall following the performance.
