Self-Parking and Valet Service

As you plan your visit to the hospital campus, we'd like to help you by providing suggested parking instructions. The hospital's My Nicklaus Children's app offers detailed instructions to our campus and detailed step by step directions once you have arrived and parked. We encourage you to download this app.

There are three separate garages on the hospital campus, each identified by a color, blue, green and yellow. Their use is entirely complimentary. Complimentary valet service is offered 24-hours a day in front of the Central Building, near the Devonshire Boulevard entrance to the campus. Additional complimentary valet services are available during select hours in the blue and yellow garages.
