Parking and Directions

There are plenty of easy ways to navigate your route to Freedom Center City! View some helpful tips to the right.

  • Free Parking

    You can access free parking in the Parkway Garage, located at 44 S. 16th St., about a 3-5 minute walk from the Philadelphia Film Society. This garage is beneath the Westin Hotel and the Shops at Liberty Place.

  • Navigating to the Garages

    You can enter the free parking garage to your left as you drive north on 16th St away from Chestnut St, or to your left as you drive south on 17th St away from Market St.

  • Parking Voucher

    Obtain a parking validation ticket as usual when you enter the garage. Before or after the service, just ask one of our volunteers for a parking voucher. When you leave the garage, first scan your regular parking validation ticket followed by the parking voucher you obtained from the usher.

  • How Do I Get there via SEPTA/PATCO?

From New Jersey, take PATCO to either the 12–13th & Locust or 15–16th & Locust stations and walk a few blocks north to Chestnut Street.
