Hello! The nearest garage is the Poe Garage and is run by the City of Tampa Parking Division. You can always check their website for updates. There is also street parking nearby. The nearest free parking is street parking just north of the Straz Center for Performing Arts.
We were there for a few hours and parked in the Poe garage right next door. Parking was $3.60 for the time we were there
Carmella is right. If you park in the garage next door it is like 3.60 ish for 3 hrs. But that garage is sometimes closed just like Fridsy when we went then we had to park down the street which is 12$ for 0-6hrs.
There is free parking around. Pretty sure you can park under the bridge thats next to it.
