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.

The underground Theater District parking garages operated by Houston First Corporation are now open.

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.

The elevators in the garages remain inoperable. 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. Keep up with the recovery efforts of the Theater District Parking Garage here.
