Visiting Cincinnati Children's

  • Visitor Parking

    Free parking is available for Cincinnati Children's patients and their families and visitors in our visitor parking garage. Follow the medical center's main entrance off Burnet Avenue and turn right into the underground garage.

    From 6 am to 10 pm, Monday through Friday, patients, families and volunteers may park at no charge in the visitor parking garage on the Burnet Campus of Cincinnati Children's, provided they get their parking tickets validated at one of the designated locations:

    • Outpatient clinic registration desks
    • Welcome Centers in Locations A, B and C
    • Radiology and Medical Imaging
    • Same Day Surgery

    Simply give your validated ticket to the parking attendant and you will not be charged.

    All other non-patient-related visitors who park in the visitor parking garage will be charged $5 per hour, with a maximum of $25 per day. Protective Services will staff the booth at the exit of the garage.

    Payment can be made with cash or credit card. The parking attendant will accept:

    • Visa
    • MasterCard
    • American Express

    From 10 pm to 6 am and on weekends and holidays, visitor parking areas will be accessible, with no fee.

    During peak times, parking is a premium.  Please allow up to 15 extra minutes to park your car.

    + Valet Parking

    For easy access to Cincinnati Children's, valet parking is available for $3 a day at the main entrance on our main campus from 6 am to 6 pm. (There are no in-and-out privileges.)

    + Outside Guests

    Outside guests, such as job applicants and those who donate their time to serve on medical center committees, may have their parking tickets validated at the A, B or C Welcome Centers. Valet parking tickets are not validated.

    + Lost / Forgotten Parking Tickets

    If you lose or forget your parking ticket, you can get a pass from one of the validation locations.

    + Same Day Surgery Parking

    A section of parking spots has been reserved for patients and families coming to Cincinnati Children's for Same Day Surgery. They are located on level 2 of the Location A section of the parking garage, which is marked by orange columns and elevators. Follow the signs that direct you where to go.

    + Finding Your Way Around the Parking Garage

    Our buildings are identified by letters and colors. The garage uses the same letter and color code. For example, if you're going to Location A (orange), you should park in the Location A (orange) portion of the parking garage. If you are unable to find a spot directly under the building you're visiting, please remember that our buildings are connected along the Concourse on the first floor. There is a Welcome Center near every Concourse entrance.

    Be sure to note the location letter, color and level where you park. For your convenience, parking reminder notes are available next to all garage elevators.

    Depending on your destination, please park in the following locations:

    Location A (orange)
    The Location A portion of the garage is marked by orange columns and elevators. Park in location A, level 2, 3 or 4. Take the elevator to A1 for the Concourse.
