A "must place to go" if you visit Austin, TX. If you're lucky, you may be joining groups and listen to a guide. A lot of security from outside and inside. We found the monument to those soldiers that went overseas after 9/11 outside the archive building. A masterpiece so beautiful and at the same time, overwhelming. It's move you to pay respect to all the soldiers that fight over the years for this nation and lost their lives. You can even feel the sadness reflected on the faces of the wife and kid representing all the families left behind. That's The Price of Liberty.

My review is only regarding parking garage A. Repaint the direction arrows that are on the ground. They are fading. Also, please post direction signs leading from one level to the next. Several times I thought that I was headed up, just to discover that I was back at the street ready to exit. Come on Austin. Treat your visitors a bit better. Street parking in that area is already a headache. Parking garages should offer some level of relief.

First two hours were free as long as you stay within that time frame. Had to pick up my temp permit to park on the restricted parking off Congress in the morning and 11th before work. Walked to the DPS building off 15th and walked right back to my car. Very few offer more than a half hour of parking but this one is just right.

  • Michael

Parking was not free for the first two hours. I was charged $20 according to my credit card statement. I timed my parking, it was 1 hour and 39 minutes. Yet I was charged $20. This is super fishy and unethical! Where does $20 even come from? The most listed is $12 for 7 hours and 31 minutes or a lost ticket for $12.

  • Feuer Nite

So the garage is supposed to be free, but every time I come for the weekend, there’s someone charging 20 dollars to park. Moreover the lady that worked there was extremely rude when I asked why she was charging when the parking there is supposed to be free. She said “If you’re not paying, back up and leave”.

  • Norman Tweet

Great place to park if you're going to the Capitol or Bullock Museum, and a decent place for most of downtown Austin. Rates are very reasonable and there is usually a human being to help if you have issues with something. Just be careful to not park in a reserved spot!

  • Nick P

The only reason for 4 is because we went on weekend and online it says free parking for less than 2 hours but there was an event and due to that u have to pay $20 for parking. Which is not bad, but should they should mention that.

  • Emily Monschauer

when we visited it was $10 for the entire day and almost completely empty. great parking spot super close to the capitol and downtown. lots of scooters and bikes nearby as well if you’re looking for some quick transportation

  • Avi NasH

Cheap I’ve never seen such cheap parking rates in the heart of the city, close by the capitol AWESOME . Free on Sunday’s . Capitol is just 2-3 minutes walk from the parking garage. …

  • Zafar Zia Khan

Because it was an events day (Texas Book Festival), the parking cost was $20 flat and it was clearly mentioned at the entrance. I preferred to park in an open space a couple of blocks earlier

  • Gouri Kazi

Ample of space for parking . The parking space for each car is wide enough. When you exit there is a live person to take fees. First two hours are free if you are visiting the Capitol

  • Yordan Masso

It is a shame that after 6 pm nobody's was there and you can't pay, no automatic machine or an app, come on people is 21 century and is Texas, and the capital. Shame on you guy's.
