Pay stations arrive at the Kimmel Parking garage
We’re excited to introduce a new automated parking system at the Kimmel Center garage! The new system is similar to the PPA street parking pay stations that you can find on many streets throughout the city. The automated system will streamline the parking experience by reducing the current bottleneck that visitors experience upon entering. Each parking space is now numbered and visitors enter their number at the pay stations located in each of the three elevator lobbies in the garage. Payment can be made by credit, debit card or cash. There is also a smart phone app available that allows patrons to set up a pay by phone account!

Parking
The entrance to the Kimmel Center Parking Garage is located just south of the Broad Street entrance to the building and can be accessed only by cars traveling south on Broad Street.
