Where To Park…
We recommend our Grant Park North located at 25 North Michigan Avenue if you are visiting the Annual Chicago Christmas Tree, McCormick Tribune Ice Rink or the Chicago Cultural Center.
Visiting Pritzker Pavilion? We recommend our Millennium Park Garage or Millennium Lakeside Garage at 5 South Columbus Drive. These two garages are the closest and most convenient. The pedestrian lobbies are located a half a block east of Michigan Avenue on East Randolph.
