Travel & Parking

The A.R.T. is located in Harvard Square. We would recommend checking the Harvard Square website to learn about any upcoming events that may limit traffic to the area.

In addition to metered street parking, there are a number of parking lots and garages within walking distance to the Loeb Drama Center. The theater offers validation for University Place Garage, the Charles Square Garage underneath The Charles Hotel, and the Church Street Lot. To obtain your validation, bring your parking ticket to the Loeb Drama Center’s Information Desk at the theater. Please note that rates for both garages are subject to change.

Additionally, the garages offer select discounts with coupons that you can print at home and bring to the garage with you. You will need to present these coupons directly to an attendant on duty.

Please note: during Harvard’s graduation week, validations and coupons may not be accepted.
