McCormick Place Parking and Directions

Getting to McCormick Place is easy and convenient. There are two main parking lots on the McCormick Place campus. Both are in close proximity and walking distance to our convention complex. Events in Lakeside Center and Arie Crown Theater designate Lot C as the primary parking location, while events in the North, South and West Buildings designate Lot A garage as the primary parking location.

Lot C (6'4" h clearance) is an underground garage with 1,900 parking spaces and is located on Ft. Dearborn Drive, adjacent to the Lakeside Center. The parking rate is a flat fee of $19 per day with no in-and-out privileges. This parking lot is open throughout event hours. Overnight parking is not available.

Lot A (8' h clearance) is a six level garage with 2,100 parking spaces and is located on Martin Luther King Drive, adjacent to the West Building. Covered walkways from Lot A leading directly into McCormick Place and the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Hotel also provide added convenience. The parking rate is $19 for up to 16 hours and $30 from 16 to 24 hours. There are no in-and-out privileges. Overnight parking is available in Lot A only. Lost tickets will pay the $30 fee per day.

Parking fees can be paid by cash or credit card; VISA, MasterCard and American Express are accepted.
