Getting Here • Parking

We are located at 325 Rideau Street, between King Edward Avenue and Nelson Street. We have a big, flashy (and very old) marquee that you simply can't miss if coming down Rideau in either direction.

Getting Here

By bus
OC Transpo routes 12, 7, 14 and 18 pass right by our door, with stops less than a block away. Or just take any bus to the Rideau Centre and walk five blocks East.

By car

We'll defer to Professor Google for this one. Just enter your start point and their magical matrices will figure out how you can best get here.

Parking
The ByTowne doesn't have its own parking lot. After 6pm and on weekends, on-street parking is plentiful, however, especially along Besserer, Stewart, Daly, and Nelson.

For paid parking, you just can't beat the parking garage at the Loblaws store half a block from us. The entrance is off Nelson St. about 100 metres north of Rideau. After 6 pm on weekdays, their flat rate is just $2.00, and for $3.00 flat rate you can park anytime on Saturday or Sunday. Loblaws is open 24 hours a day, so it's perfect no matter how late the movie lets out. There are a few other parking lots in the neighbourhood too: the lot next to the Quality Hotel at King Edward and Rideau Street (SE corner), the Days Inn next door, and Spark Auto Repair around the corner (and down a bit) on Nelson Street.

The trickiest time to park is on weekdays for our 4 pm-ish matinees, when the curb lanes on Rideau are for buses only. Loblaws parking garage is still your best bet: it costs $1 per half hour (until 6 pm), which translates into about a $5 charge for parking during most feature films – significantly cheaper than a parking ticket.
