ICE at Discovery Green Weather Delays

Wheelchairs on the ICE

• Non-motorized wheelchairs are allowed on the ICE.

Parking

All parking in Downtown Houston is paid parking. That said, metered street parking becomes free after 6:00pm and on Sundays. If you park on the street, be sure to check the signs before leaving your car.

There is also a parking garage under the park. The entrance is by the George R. Brown Convention Center. The rates change some but it can be expensive.

You can also find a lot of paid lots surrounding Discovery Green.
