Where is the best place to park when going to the grand opera house in Wilmington

Steven Gepner | Oct 28, 2021
Michael Jones | Oct 28, 2021

The 8th and orange open lot and walk through where Chelsea tavern is always good, and I believe free on the weekends

Where is parking located

John Lally | Oct 28, 2020
Jennifer Fletcher | Oct 28, 2020

Get there early so that you can find parking on the street. Otherwise your best bet would be to park in a nearby hotel parking lot and walk over. SN: my sister got married at the Grand. We stayed at the hotel Dupont and took an Uber down to the Grand. It's also close enough to walk if you don't mind a little exercise.

On street parking is free after 6. There are several parking garages if you want sheltered parking. Prices are reasonable. I usually opt for the Double Tree garage and never had an issue.

Ok this might sound like a weird question but how wide are the chairs. I have back problems and move around in my chair a lot and if a chair is tight it just makes it harder and causes more pain because I can't get comfortable

Lindsay Kroboth | Oct 28, 2020
Dean Glines | Oct 28, 2020

The width of the chairs is OK. My issue is with the leg room in many sections. The older design of the rows accommodates shorter thin people. Try to stay in the center if you can.

Lindsay Kroboth | Oct 29, 2019

I would like to attend the Who concert tribute on Sat !!/17. Is there a charge for parking? Why is there an $8.00 web fee on top of the price of the ticket. Thank you, Helen

Helen Herzog | Oct 29, 2019
Rich Clark | Oct 29, 2019

Keep in mind that the Grand is non-profit, run largely by volunteers. Their online ticketing services are outsourced, and the fee is undoubtedly the cost for that. The Grand has no parking facilities of its own; you'll need to look for street parking or a lot/ garage. We usually park at the Doubletree Hilton on King; it's actually a municipal garage.
