Tucson Convention Center260 S Church Ave Tucson AZ 85701wwwtucsonazgovtucson-convention-center

PARKINGThe Tucson Convention Center (TCC) has 1000 parking spaces that may be utilized for event parking but most of the closer lots cost $8 In addition to guest vehicle parking the TCC can accommodate limousine truck and RV parking based upon availability The TCC accepts cash and all major credit cards

There are several parking garages (most ranging from $2 to $8 either by the hour or flat rate) and on street parking ($1hour or free after 5 PM and on weekends and holidays) in the area that can be utilized as well We suggest not parking in the residential areas because many of the neighborhoods require residential parking permits

Where We Skate

Tucson Convention Center260 S Church Ave Tucson AZ 85701wwwtucsonazgovtucson-convention-center

PARKINGThe Tucson Convention Center (TCC) has 1000 parking spaces that may be utilized for event parking but most of the closer lots cost $8 In addition to guest vehicle parking the TCC can accommodate limousine truck and RV parking based upon availability The TCC accepts cash and all major credit cards

There are several parking garages (most ranging from $2 to $8 either by the hour or flat rate) and on street parking ($1hour or free after 5 PM and on weekends and holidays) in the area that can be utilized as well We suggest not parking in the residential areas because many of the neighborhoods require residential parking permits
