I am coming to Indy to see the Lion King at the Murat. I see that they sell parking for $15 but wonder if this is a good deal--worth it or not? What are other parking options? We will most likely eat dinner in the vicinity beforehand.
Thanks in advance!
Murat Theatre parking
If the weather is nice no. Parking in Indy is FREE on the street at meters on the weekends and after 6:00 p.m. during the week. You should be able to find a spot on the street but might have to walk 2-4 blocks. Area is safe so if you don%26#39;t mind the walk try that.
Murat Theatre parking
CAUTION:
Common Murat parking scam. There are large parking lots to the north of the Murat Theater. However, the lot immediately to it%26#39;s south is for the adjacent condos. Too often, con artist crews will swoop in - traffic safety vests, dashboard tags %26amp; all - and take $10 to $15 per car until they fill the lot. Patrons then return from the theater to find their cars TOWED by the city%26#39;s outsourced towing service.
It happened to us several years ago. We%26#39;ve since learned it happens quite frequently. I know the time we parked there, there were three police cars - with officers inside, parked right next to the lot where they HAD to see the guys parking the cars there. We (an angry mob of about 80 theater-goers/suckers) had to walk 12 blocks to the city impound lot, where the IPD eventually was called to quell the near riot that erupted when we learned it would cost $120 to get our cars out of the lot. A very efficient little racket ...
So, ... if you park in the Murat lot (on it%26#39;s west side) or the many lots stringing north of the Murat Theater, you%26#39;ll be o.k. And if you see a bunch of guys parking cars in the lot on the immediate southside of the theater, suggest to one of the loitering cops that he/she may want to get out of his car and investigate.
Give yourself at least an hour %26amp; half before the show. You can park %26amp; then eat in the area, before walking over to the Murat. Most restaurants in the area will work with you to get you in %26amp; out before show time.
Our family is also going to see the Lion King tonight. Will be looking for a good parking spot on the street. Don%26#39;t want to pay $15 for parking. Hope you had a good visit.
