Venue information and published parking reviewed October 17, 2026. Event-specific instructions and service availability may change.

Parking Cost Examples

The parking structure is a practical choice because it connects directly to the convention building.

1. Set the correct GPS destination. Use Convention Center Garage, 15 SW 4th Street, Oklahoma City. Follow the actual garage entrance signs on Mick Cornett Drive.
2. Check the entrance height. The published clearance is 8 feet 2 inches. Oversized vehicles should not assume normal garage access.
3. Park in an authorized space. Accessible parking is available on garage levels, first-come, first-served.
4. Go to garage Level 3. The venue’s published arrival guidance directs visitors to the third level for the pedestrian skybridge.
5. Cross into the convention center. The skybridge connects to the convention building’s second level.
6. Locate your event registration. Follow your organizer’s event map; its registration may be on another floor.
7. Save your parking location. Photograph your garage level and nearby section marker before leaving the vehicle.

Driving From Major Highways

The Oklahoma City Streetcar connects downtown hotels, Bricktown, Midtown, Automobile Alley and areas near the convention center.

Using the Streetcar After Parking

1. Keep the parking receipt. Confirm your garage is included in the qualifying park-and-ride arrangement.
2. Find Scissortail Park Platform. Follow official streetcar wayfinding and check the correct side for your direction.
3. Choose your loop. Check whether your destination is served by the Downtown or Bricktown route.
4. Board with the required proof. Follow the current receipt-validation and streetcar-fare instructions.
5. Check the last return trip. Streetcar schedules differ by day and special events.

The system’s route coverage spans approximately 4.7 miles with 22 platforms. It is useful for connecting convention visitors with downtown hotels, restaurants and attractions.

Taxi and Rideshare

Taxi and rideshare services operate downtown. For large events, the nearest open pickup area may differ from the main entrance due to crowd control or road closures.

• Choose the exact convention entrance or designated pickup zone.
• Check vehicle details before entering a rideshare.
• Allow extra departure time after a major event.
• Use a sheltered or indoor waiting location when weather is severe.

Will Rogers International Airport (OKC) is the main airport for convention visitors. The convention center places it approximately 10 miles from the venue.

Airport Arrival Steps

1. Confirm your arrival airport. Save Will Rogers International Airport (OKC), not an unrelated Oklahoma airport.
2. Collect your luggage. Follow the terminal’s ground transportation signs.
3. Choose the transfer. Compare taxis, rideshare and rental cars based on your arrival time and luggage.
4. Enter the correct destination. Use 100 Mick Cornett Drive or your actual downtown hotel.
5. Check convention registration time. Arriving in the city is not the same as completing badge pickup.
6. Arrange departure transportation. Allow for airport check-in, traffic and potential event-related downtown congestion.

The convention center advertises approximately 500,000 square feet of flexible total facility space. Its specific exhibit halls, ballrooms and meeting rooms have different dimensions and setup capacities.

Main Convention Spaces

Exhibit Hall Features

• Approximately 200,730 square feet of continuous exhibit space.
• Divisible into four independent halls.
• Ceiling height listed at approximately 30 feet.
• Approximately 86-foot spacing between exhibit hall columns.
• Four roll-up doors and two truck-access ramps.
• Floor connections for electrical, communications, data and plumbing services.
• Four permanent concession locations serving exhibit areas.

A venue-wide capacity figure is not interchangeable with individual ballroom, theater, classroom or booth-layout occupancy. Organizers should use the approved room setup and contract.

The official venue calendar includes public events, industry meetings, conventions and private gatherings. Not every listed event sells public tickets.

How to Find and Register for Your Event

1. Open the venue event calendar. Find the event name and the correct month.
2. Check the date. Avoid old search results from previous event editions.
3. Open the organizer’s details. The convention center itself does not sell one ticket valid for every show.

5. Check event parking. See whether the standard garage tariff or specific event instructions apply.
6. Save the assigned hall. Use the organizer’s final event plan to find the correct registration entrance.
