Here, you got three choices:
-9 story ramp: $2.50 for 12 hours -parking lot: $1 for 0-2 hours, $2 for 12 -metered street parking: $0.75/hour
This, besides driving directions, can be the greatest challenge for some customers. The ramp is connected to our mall via a tunnel, the lot sits right next to it, both are quite safe.
The street parking is a challenge in its own. We sit on Main Street, which the city of Minneapolis has found in its heart to be worthy of metering 7 days a week, 6 am-midnight. It is thoroughly patrolled by both city and park police squads with no sympathy, even for those who have just gone inside to pay. A word from the wise: if you've got to come into the theater to make change, do it really quick or have someone wait outside. Just this Monday, a couple who came into buy tickets & get quarters were fined $35 for the two minutes it took them to walk in & back. Scary.
Most of the other streets around the neighborhood are metered only on the weekdays. These street spaces are where I usually park for my weekend shifts. You'd have to walk about six blocks (as the crow flies) to get free parking in the residential neighborhood nearby, if there's any at all.
I learned a long time ago that convienient parking near venues in Minneapolis is usually too expensive or good to be true, as it is this way everywhere in town, except Sundays.
No, we don't validate parking. Landmark, however, does validate for two free hours in the lot behind the Lagoon theatre for patrons of that house & the Uptown. At their Edina location (a Plitt build), there's a 4-hour free ramp directly behind the theatre.
That's a raw deal Dennis.
