Homemama2 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm heading to the convention in Cincinnati next week. The last time I went a couple of years ago we printed something off for $5 parking (per day, if I'm remembering right.) Does anyone know if this is available this year? I can't remember where this was from. :confused1: Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 There were printable vouchers on the GHC website for Cincinnati in the past. Last year they didn't offer that and I was super disappointed. Parking can be really pricey downtown. I ended up parking in the normal garage--right next to the convention center but I think it was $7 instead of $5. Also note not all the garages can accommodate the oversized vans and trucks if that applies to you. I can't even find directions on their website this year. If you aren't from Cincinnati you need to know that the Third street exit is closed going southbound on I-71. "Traffic will be detoured to Gilbert Avenue to East Eighth Street to south on Sycamore Avenue to Third Street." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homemama2 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Thanks! Glad to know about the detour! We aren't from around there, and our phone's gps never seems to work right in the downtown area, so that's super helpful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect there to be a lot of lost minivans throughout downtown Cincinnati those days! =) It's much simpler to get to the convention center off the Third street exit. I would definitely have a printed map of downtown with the street directions (some streets are one way) just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaj Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I seem to be remembering last year that the parking vouchers didn't pop up very early. It seemed like it was the weekend before convention that the link was added . I also thought that last year the garages right next door offered the $5 event parking anyway, even with no voucher? But that may have been two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
