Parking Reservations
Guests may book a reservation using our booking engine by clicking here to guarantee a parking space in the Garage, Open Lot, or Economy Lot.
Reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Same-day bookings are not available. If you need to change the lot your reservation is for, that must also be done more than 24 hours in advance.
Reservations can be edited or cancelled up to 3 hours before the start time. The $2.99 booking fee is nonrefundable.
Important: Your reservation only works in the specific parking area you selected at the time of booking. It is not transferrable. For example, a reservation for the Economy Lot will not work at the Garage gate.
To use your reservation, scan the QR code from your confirmation email at both the entry and exit gates. If you pull a ticket instead of scanning at entry, your reservation will be void and you’ll be charged the standard parking rate. You may request a refund using the Reservation Refund Request form below.
If a parking lot appears full, reservation holders may still enter. Signage will read “Temporarily Full – Reservations and Monthly Parkers Only”. Proceed to the gate and scan your QR code as normal.
There are no penalties or extra fees for staying past your reservation window — you’ll simply pay the difference based on your total time on-site when exiting.
