Tips for Using This Parking Guide:

  1. Plan ahead: Check event schedules and arrive early to secure your preferred parking spot. Also, prices change based on how scarce parking is.
  2. Consider public transportation: For downtown events, using the METRORail can be a convenient alternative.
  3. Use the ParkMobile app for the public lots and metered parking.
  4. Be aware of street parking rules: Always check signs for time limits and restrictions.

Venue-Specific Parking Tips:

  1. NRG Stadium: For major events, consider parking at nearby lots and using the shuttle service. Better yet, take the METRORail to zip past the crowds.
  2. Toyota Center: The Theater District Parking is often the best value for events here.
  3. Museum District: On weekdays, street parking can be challenging. Consider using the MFAH garage for convenient access to multiple museums.
  4. Downtown Theaters: The Theater District Parking serves multiple venues and is often the most economical option.


We hope this guide helps make your Houston event experience smoother and more enjoyable. Remember to check venue websites for the most up-to-date parking information, as prices and availability may change during special events.
