Parking

Welcome to Cincinnati Shakespeare, nestled in a lively entertainment district boasting ample parking solutions to suit every preference!

At Cincinnati Shakespeare Company we offer several parking options to suit your needs. We’ve coordinated a two prepaid parking options in front or right next door to the theater for a hassle‐free, guaranteed spot. (Details for prepaid parking are provided below.) However, if these are sold out or you’d rather not prepay through CSC, downtown Cincinnati has many different surface lots and parking options available. Below are our top recommendations along with a bit more information on how each option works.

We strive to make your visit seamless and stress-free. Please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email with any parking inquiries.

Other Parking Suggestions:

1. Paid Street Parking
   Downtown Cincinnati on the streets all around the theater offers plenty of metered street parking. You can pay using coins/cash, credit/debit cards, or mobile apps like ParkMobile. Most meters or pay boxes are unattended on the street, so you’ll need to keep an eye on your parking duration and extend your time if needed—note that paid parking typically ends at 9 PM, after which street parking becomes free. In most cases, you need to enter your license plate information to pay for parking and no ticket is requried. Always check posted signs for time limits, rates, and policies.

2. Washington Park Garage
   Located at 1310 Elm Street, this 450-space, two-level underground garage is open 24/7 directly beneath Washington Park. It’s just a short walk to the theater and offers secure, attended parking near Music Hall. You receive a ticket on entry and then pay at payment stations on your way back to your car—no mobile phone is required, and an attendant is usually available to assist.

3. Towne Center Garage
   Situated at 1251 Central Parkway, Cincinnati, OH 45202, this surface lot is a convenient alternative with ample spaces. It’s within a short walk to the theater. Payment here is handled entirely via mobile phone—you’ll need to text or scan the posted codes, as this lot does not offer attended or in person payment options.
