From
the North:
If
west of St. Paul, take the north-south highway
of your choice (Hwy. 169, Hwy 100, I-35W, etc.) to I-94
east (if you're really west, go to I-694 east first,
then follow I-94 when it splits off in Brooklyn Center).
Continue through Downtown Minneapolis - don't stop -
and get ready to hit St. Paul. Take the 10th Street
exit and swing around into Downtown St. Paul. Before
you're ready for it, the History Theatre will be on
your right. Grab a spot on the street (meter parking
is free after 4:30 p.m.) or hang a right onto Cedar
Street. You can take the first right onto Exchange Street,
go two blocks and pull into the 7A Municpal Ramp on
your right, or you can continue down Cedar Street two
blocks and turn right into the World Trade Center parking
ramp. Tip: the 7A Municpal Ramp is connected to History
Theatre via Skyway.
If
east of St. Paul, get yourself to I-35E and
take that south, exiting at Wacouta Street/10th Street.
Head to your right (Google Maps calls it a "slight
right") so you're on 10th Street, and follow that
until you drive right into the side of History Theatre.
Seriously, it'll be right in front of you, at the intersection
of 10th and Cedar streets. Grab a spot on the street
(meter parking is free after 4:30 p.m.), or hang a left
onto Cedar Street. You can go two blocks and turn right
into the World Trade Center parking ramp, or take your
first right onto Exchange Street, go two blocks and
pull into the 7A Municipal Ramp on your right. Tip:
the 7A Municpal Ramp is connected to History Theatre
via Skyway.

(very nice, by the way). In one block, History Theatre

From
the East:
Drive
all crazy-like down I-94 west, then exit without warning

left lane, and turn left onto Cedar Street. After the
bridge, go one block and History
Theatre will be on your right at the intersection of
Cedar and 10th Streets. Grab a spot on the street (meter
parking is free after 4:30 p.m.), go two more blocks

From

I-94 east. That's right: east. You'll survive. Take
the 10th Street exit and swing around into Downtown
St. Paul. Before you're ready for it, the History Theatre
will be on your right. Grab a spot on the street (meter
parking is free after 4:30 p.m.) or hang a right onto

Parking
Options
On-street:
meter parking in Downtown St. Paul is free after 4:30
p.m. (nice of them, wasn't it?). If you're looking for
your cheapest option with potentially the most amount
of walking, this is a good bet.
7A
Municipal Ramp: the
7A Municipal Ramp is located on Exchange Street between
Wabasha and St. Peter streets (see the little P in a
circle on the map). Parking charges
range $3-$11; both cash and credit cards are accepted.
The ramp is open to 11 p.m. and is connected to the
History Theatre via SkyWay. Clearance is 7'-0".
World
Trade Center Ramp:
the World Trade Center Ramp is located on West 7th Street
between Cedar and Wabasha Streets (see the little Ps
in circles on the map - there are
two because you can enter from either Cedar or Wabasha).
Parking charges range $5-$14; cash or check only. They
say it's open 24 hours, but our personal experience
is staff are hard to see after 10 p.m. Clearance is
7'-0".
Other
options: These
are the parking options we've tested personally, but
there are many more options available in close proximity
to History Theatre (close being a somewhat subjective
term, natch). Download
the Downtown St. Paul Parking Guide for much more
parking information that you'll ever need.
