Parking Challenges at Union Station
Union Station's historic beauty comes with modern parking challenges. With millions of annual visitors and hundreds of events, finding parking can be stressful for your guests.
Shuttle Logistics & Route Planning
Our drivers are experienced with Union Station's layout and surrounding traffic patterns, ensuring smooth arrivals and departures for your event.
Recommended Pickup/Drop-off
The north entrance facing Pershing Road provides the most accessible drop-off point for shuttles. For large events, the west side of the building near the Science City entrance offers additional staging space.
Route Planning
From downtown hotels, take Main Street south to Pershing Road — a straight 5-minute drive. From the Plaza area, head north on Main Street. From I-35, use the 20th Street exit for the most direct approach.
Timing Considerations
Major exhibitions (like holiday trains) create heavy foot traffic. Plan arrivals 20 minutes before event start. For wedding receptions, coordinate shuttle times around ceremony endings at nearby churches.
Multi-Venue Coordination
Union Station pairs beautifully with nearby Crown Center, the National WWI Museum, and Kauffman Center. We frequently coordinate multi-stop shuttle routes connecting these venues for corporate and social events.
