Leveque Tower Garage

While convenient to The Palace Theater, $ 10.00 for special event parking is way too high. The garages near The Ohio Theater only charge $ 5 or $ 7 and they are underground and covered. If you do park here back into your space so that you can easily pull out. There is one way up and one way down, making it hard to back out into traffic after a show. Also, the stairwells at this garage are fine during the day but very dark at night. One of the two elevators was acting up when I was there — door not closing, going to a floor other than what was pushed.

Convenient parking that is just north of the Palace Theatre /​Leveque Tower in the heart of downtown Columbus. A great place to park when downtown for a play, concert or any other event downtown. Special event parking has only been $ 5, comparable to other downtown garages.
Most folks try to enter the garage from the Front Street entrance which can become quite a bottleneck near show time. Use the Lynn St entrance for easier access. When parking in the garage, I usually try to park around the outside perimeter as opposed to interior parking spots. Back into the spots. It’s easier to exit as opposed to those trying to back up when everyone is trying to leave and then move forward.
You use to be able to use a crossover walkway and cut through the Leveque Tower, take the elevator to the lobby and then a brief outside walk to enter the Palace Theatre. Lobby construction has caused the access to be restricted. Not sure whether they plan to eventually open it back up. It was really convenient when inclement weather. Now, you have to adapt and walk around the block to the Palace’s entrance.

Only recommendation … arrive early to avoid the long lines and when you get to a parking spot, park your car to where you can easily pull out onto the flow of traffic to get out. We were at the Palace Theatre for the Blue Man Group and had to sit in traffic (hadnt even moved from our parking spot) for at least 15 – 20 minutes (on the 5^th floor) before we even moved. Plus there is nothing like people that dont know how to drive in a parking garage that seem to break every two seconds as they travel up each level.
Arrive early. Get a good parking spot. Pull your car forward (or back your car into a spot) to make life easier.
