• Parking Under ImaginOn
  Limited parking is available in the parking deck below ImaginOn, which is accessed from 6th Street. There is direct elevator access from the parking deck to the ImaginOn entrance. The first 90 minutes are free for ImaginOn guests (parking ticket must be validated). After 90 minutes additional rates apply. Because there is only one exit, there may be delays when exiting if the lot is close to capacity.



• Parking at Seventh Street Station
  Located across the Lynx light rail line from ImaginOn, this deck has entrances on 6th and 7th Streets. For ImaginOn visitors, the deck offers 3 hours of free parking after 5:00 pm Monday - Friday, and free parking on Saturday and Sunday. There is no free parking before 5:00 pm Monday - Friday. Parking ticket must be validated at the Welcome Desk in the ImaginOn lobby. Additional rates may apply when there are Arena/Uptown events. Make sure you identify yourself as an ImaginOn guest when entering the parking deck if Arena/Uptown event rates are in effect.



• Surface Parking Lots
  Several ground level parking lots surround ImaginOn. Fees range from $3.75-$5.00 and must be pre-paid using exact change. Rates may increase when there are Arena/Uptown events.
