Additional Information

Reservation of a parking spot in advance via SpotHero is highly recommended. The West Garage is typically available for about $25 if reserved via SpotHero in advance. Full rate without online reservation is $40.

If using the West Garage, follow your navigation app as usual to 848 E Grand Ave until you get on the pier itself. Keep driving until you see the West Parking Garage, which is about 1/3rd of the way down the pier.

Once you’ve parked in the West Parking Garage and exited your vehicle, walk south to enter the pier. Once indoors, walk east until you see the big WBEZ signs on your left. Press the intercom button to be let in.

Again, reservation of a parking spot in advance via SpotHero is highly recommended. Full rate without online reservation is $40.
