If you use a GPS to locate the showhall, please note the showhall address does not take you to the side of the building where you need to enter/park. Please turn on 6th street and then a right on Library Dr. 

Also note Lake street is a ONE WAY street!

*You can unload in the circle drive (in front of the library), but will need to park in the lot off of 6th street (see the map attached). There are metered lots, but you would need to go out every 2 hours and pay the meter...this is not advised. The lot off of 6th street (between the hall and the Lake) has two self-pay stations that accept cash or credit. You pay once and can stay all day in this lot if you then put your ticket on your dashboard.
