Get to the Pavilion from Houston
On either Interstate 45N or the Hardy Toll Road North to The Woodlands. The Hardy Toll Road begins at North Loop 610E and ends at I-45, just south of The Woodlands. As you approach The Woodlands, you can take any of the next 4 exits and have access to The Woodlands and CWMP. Taking the 3rd exit, 'Woodlands Parkway' is the most convenient as that exit is ramped over the freeway and drops traffic directly onto Woodlands Parkway West; it also likely to be the busiest during any prime-time type driving periods such as evening traffic, festivals, and concerts at the pavilion.
Get to the Pavilion from Conroe / North of The Woodlands
From Interstate 45 south, exit at Tamina / Research Forest Drive (Shenandoah, Texas), or The Woodlands Parkway / Woodlands Mall exit and the Pavilion will be on your right. From the Research forest exit, turn right at the traffic light and proceed west towards Grogan's Mill Road. Turning left onto any of the streets prior to or at Grogan's Mill rd and proceeding south will take you towards The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. It is recommended that you turn at Grogan's Mill road and go south where you will begin to see personell directing you into one of the various free parking lots.
Should you exit at the Lake Woodlands Drive exit (next exit after Research Forest) and then turn right (west) on any of the streets leading into The Woodlands as all of them ** will take you in the direction of Town Center. Turning on Lake Robbins Drive (the road with the large bridge) is the most direct route and will take you to the paid parking lots as well as the handicapped parking in the Gold lot.
Navigating to the Pavilion Parking lots once you have entered The Woodlands Town Center area is typically marked with temporary, folding signs in between traffic lanes, at various intersections as well as CWMP personell and off duty MCS deputies.
** Any exit and street west, into The Woodlands assumes only those streets between Woodlands Parkway and Research Forest Drive which is/are directly east of the Town Square / Market Street / Woodlands Mall area.
Preferred parking is available in the Town Center Garage (Gold Lot). Handicap accessible parking is available with proper state identification on a first come, first serve basis. The limited number of blue permit parking spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis in the Gold Lot adjacent to the pavilion VIP entrance. Access to the Gold lot is only via Six Pines Drive. Town Center Parking Garage is located at the corner of Six Pines Drive and Lake Robbins (between the Waterway and Lake Robbins) as well as a recently added paid parking lot on the northeast corner of the same intersection. Preferred Parking is generally $5 per vehicle for concerts and most all performing arts events and likely well worth the investment compared to parking in one of the free lots and hiking to the amphitheater. Tickets for on-site (Gold lot and VIP) parking can be purchased in advance at all Ticketmaster outlets, online at Ticketmaster, and The Woodlands Pavilion Ticket Office. Guests also can park in any of the five free parking lots which are located within walking distance of the Amphitheater. The free parking lots are named with colors, (Yellow, Blue, Orange, Green and White) and are connected to The Pavilion via pathways with colored coded signs all leading to the Pavilion.
FREE parking is available in the lighted lots which are also patrolled by CWMP personell, the mounted patrol as well as montgomery county sherrif department deputies. The free parking areas (Yellow, Blue, Orange, Green and White) are at various office building locations in the immediate area, while closer, paid parking can be found closer to the venue. Much of the closer parking however is not available for those attending events at the Pavilion such as Market Street and the Market Street parking garage. The Market Street area is not available for those attending Pavilion events and is marked by temporary, folding signs at the various entrances. The Market Street parking area is normally patrolled by security personnel both on foot and in security vehicles. Other areas, such as The Woodlands Mall parking lot as well as the parking garage next to Tinseltown 17 do not allow for parking at concerts and other events at The Pavilion.
In 2008, two additional parking lots in the Town Center area were opened with paid parking as low as $2.00 on weeknights and $5 during events such as concerts and other events in Town Center. The larger events such as concerts generally result with increased charges of at least $5 per car. Please do not park in areas that are designated as unavailable to attendees of Pavilion events. For most events, parking lots open 90 minutes prior to the performance while the Pavilion gates are opened 60 minutes prior to the performance. Paid parking is also available closer to The Pavilion in the same lot where the (temporary) ice skating rink is located (northeast corner of Six Pines and Lake Robbins Drive).
