Huge place, has a cess from many connected hotels. Was quite empty when we arrived. Booth advertising materials left all over the walking areas, so be careful where you walk.

Is free parking available at the greater Columbus convention center?

Jahlissa Jamie | Oct 1, 2018
Steve White | Oct 1, 2019

Here's an idea, you can park free at Goodale Park & walk to the convention center. However, max time you can park there is either 2 or 3 hours. I suggest park on Dennison or in the Goodale parking lot that is off of Dennison.
