Parking at the convention

If you’re driving into Pittsburgh, we recommend exploring the public parking lots and garages that are scattered throughout the city. Anthrocon does not have any partnerships nor special rates with the listed parking lots. Always check the individual parking lots and garages for information accuracy.

Shuttle Schedule

Shuttles are free for all Anthrocon attendees, stopping at Anthrocon-partnered hotels (except the Westin, Courtyard, Drury and AC Hotel) with the DLCC stop on the east side of the underpass under the convention center.

On Saturday, the stop will temporarily move to the West side of the underpass, (on Ft. Duquesne Blvd), and an additional stop beside the Westin (on Liberty Ave).
