There are dozens of parking options for Trainfest this year. Parking will be available on the days of the event, but you have the option to purchase parking today, lock in your spot and a great price.

One of the biggest complaints when Trainfest was at State Fair Park, was parking. It was expensive, slow and far away. The Baird Center is surrounded by dozens of parking options. Even a garage that is two blocks away, is a shorter walk than the main lot at State Fair Park, and there are spots available today for as low as $5.00. 1/3 the price at State Fair Park!
Reasons to book parking now:
* Best Price! - Parking is available now as low as $5.00 as of 8/27/2024.
* Best Location! - Booking early allows you to reserve closest parking.
* Guaranteed Space – When you reserve your spot today, it yours!
No hunting for a spot when you get there.

If you have a car, you can choose any of the garages and if you have a larger vehicle, you can look for an open lot with no height restrictions.
2) If you are staying at one of the hotels within walking distance, you can make arrangements with your hotel to park, and then simply walk to the show. There are some hotels offering show specials. You can see the list here.
3) If you have a very large vehicle, or a trailer, and want to park and leave it for the duration of the event, there is a large intermodal lot near the facilty. Arrangements can be made with Interstate Parking. Please email Josh or Anna at:
