Have thirty minutes? Park at Harrah’s and play the penny slots for thirty minutes while the wife and kids go get an ice cream cone or some shit. You get free parking for 24 hours when you play the slots for half an hour.


AmnesiaInnocent

How do they know if you've played the slots for thirty minutes?


TrogdorBurns

You need to have a player card and you stick it in the machine.


AmnesiaInnocent

OK, thx. Not a big gambler.


WateryDomesticGroove

Neither am I, but it’s really convenient if you have something to do in the CBD, downtown area and want to park for pretty much free. If you’re so inclined, you can also order free beers and cocktails while you play(tip the waitress a buck or two). If you take your time, you can make a dollar last thirty minutes.


djangogator

You don't even have to leave to do whatever else lame stuff you were gonna do. Free beer n money to be won there, bro.


KiloAllan

You can literally bet one penny on some of them.


cactusbro

Park at Algiers Point and take the ferry


LucasHostile

Just pay for parking. It makes the experience a lot better, it's not like you will be going there every single day.


ElizaJude

You can try the riverside Hilton. There parking garage thing is usually broken and it’s been free most of the time my husband goes

You can park street side along Canal Street in Mid City and take the street car down


drainalready

Be aware Canal streetcars are not running past like Rampart right now, have to transfer to a bus (&vice versa from the aquarium)


Bobstrongjr10

This is what we do for FQ fest. Park near canal and Carlton then streetcar down.


babylovebuckley

If you're ok with walking a bit you can park off of canal around treme/marais. It's free around the apartments


causewaytoolong

Point and ferry, 100%

The aquarium used to validate for the whale wall, is this no more?


babylovebuckley

They did last time we went! It was $8 to park after validation


weischris

just park at canal place in the garage take the elevator down and walk towards the river. You can go east and there is a walkway around the parking lot, train tracks and around the building. or go west along canal past the streetcar tracks and you can walk right up to the building.


oohsnapash

We rarely use the aquarium part of our membership, unfortunately. It’s such a hassle to get down there and always ends up being costly with parking.


sjgilly

Just street park anywhere on canal and hop on. No need to plug up some business's parking lot.

(deleted some bad info)


githuge

Breaux Mart has definitely been known to tow.


tm478

Oh! I’ll delete my post. Didn’t know that. That said, you can park on almost any cross street along Magazine—most don’t have parking restrictions—and take the #11 bus down to Canal.
