FREE PARKING! It’s hard to beat free parking downtown. When you grab a bite to eat or shop at one of over one hundred stores you get 8 hours of validated parking. Pull into on of the garages on this map, take a ticket and request a validation from the merchant after your purchase. Some garages require a credit card instead of a ticket for entry and exit, but you won’t be charged for any parking less than eight hours as long as you present your validation upon exiting the garage.
