ParkingParking at the Independent Picture House is free. There is a main lot right in front of the building with overflow space alongside it. You can arrive just a few minutes before your screening and be fine. One thing to note: do not park in the Blackbox Theater lot next door. They will tow. |

Light RailIf you are coming by train, hop off the Lynx Blue Line at Sugar Creek Station. It is a 5 to 8 minute walk to the theater from there and a pretty pleasant one at that. |
