Riverfront Ramp Across From Guthrie Theater
The most direct choice is the city-owned Riverfront Ramp on South 2nd Street, directly across from the Guthrie Theater. The theater lists a standard event parking rate of $15 for this ramp (guthrietheater.org). Its position opposite the entrance makes it practical for evening performances, particularly when you want to avoid a longer walk after the show.
The ramp is the closest recommended parking option identified by the theater itself. The Guthrie’s first-timer guide also names the city-owned Riverfront Ramp as the closest option and gives the standard event parking rate as $15 (guthrietheater.org).
Named Parking Near the Guthrie and Riverfront
Other named parking locations appear in the surrounding downtown area, including the parking facility at 220 9th Avenue South, Minneapolis. The closest-parking listing identifies that location as the nearest option in its own parking information (spotangels.com). It is a separate choice from the city-owned Riverfront Ramp on South 2nd Street.
Free parking is not identified near the Guthrie Theater in the local parking information published by SpotAngels (spotangels.com). Drivers planning for a performance should therefore focus on the named paid facilities rather than expecting a free space close to the riverfront entrance.
Parksy Spaces by Riverfront Garage and Mill Quarter
Parksy lists two priced garage spaces at Riverfront Garage, both 142 yards from the Guthrie Theater. The same 142-yard distance also applies to a space at the Riverfront Municipal Ramp, priced at $5 a day.
A further garage space is 167 yards away and costs $3 an hour. Two Mill Quarter Garage spaces are listed 225 yards away, and each costs $3 an hour. These options give drivers a choice between hourly garage parking and the daily rate at the Riverfront Municipal Ramp, while keeping every listed space within 225 yards of the site.
Performance Demand and Surrounding Minneapolis Streets
Event parking demand is especially relevant around show times because the Guthrie Theater applies a standard event parking rate of $15 at the Riverfront Ramp (guthrietheater.org). The venue’s first-timer guide also describes parking near the theater as limited (guthrietheater.org), making the directly opposite ramp the most straightforward target before a performance.
The recommended ramp is on South 2nd Street, while the theater address is 801 West River Parkway. Those named streets define the immediate approach to the site. Parking decisions should account for the event rate and limited parking described by the theater rather than relying on a last-minute curb space.
