Parking
When coming to visit any of the five buildings of the Capitol grounds, there are a number of factors that may affect parking. Time of day is important. In addition to regular session, the Legislature holds committee meetings and Special Sessions throughout the year. This will cause the number of parking spaces to decrease. There will also be times when special events will take place downtown cutting off access to some parking areas and streets. Before visiting the Capitol check the Legislative Calendars at Online Sunshine [off-site] and the Calendar of Events at the Tallahassee Area Convention & Visitors Bureau's web site [off-site] to get an idea of what is happening at Capitol and downtown Tallahassee.
Metered parking spaces are available at the street level and designated lots. Please check the hourly maximum allowed by the meter as the Tallahassee Police Department's Parking Enforcement Division is vigilant in their duties. There are two parking garages located downtown. Kleman Plaza is an underground garage located directly northwest of the Capitol and west of City Hall. Entrances are located on Duval Street and Bronough Street. The Eastside Parking Garage is located on Calhoun Street. The entrance is on Calhoun Street. If parking outside the garages in a non-metered spot, please insure the spot is marked visitor parking. Cars parked in employee spaces will be towed.
Spaces for visitors with disabilities are located on west side of the House Office Building in the north side loading zone. There are more spaces located in the parking lot south of the Knott Building.
