We recommend parking at an MBTA stop outside of downtown and riding to the T to one of the following stops:

  • "Aquarium" on the Blue line (MOST CONVENIENT)
  • "Haymarket" or "State" on the Orange line
  • "Government Center" or "Haymarket" on the Green line

Garage/Lot/Street Parking:

(Due to big dig and constantly changing circumstances, we cannot guarantee this information, but it is current last we checked.)

Some free street parking is available Downtown, near the Fleet Center, and behind Quincy Market if you're willing to drive around a bit. There is basically none in the South End. Leave yourself time and read the signs carefully! Parking tickets are $35 and up but there has to be a sign in order to get a valid ticket.
