Parking

Entry from the southwest side of the museum may be limited until construction is complete in order to ensure your safety. We recommend parking on the north and east Artis—Naples lots. As always, parking is available at Waterside Shops’ parking garage in levels 3-5.

For evening and weekend events, please park only in the spots on the Kimberly K. Querrey and Louis A. Simpson Cultural Campus or in our partner lots across Ridgewood Drive at FineMark Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, the SunTrust Building and Waterside Shops.

Handicap parking spaces are located near the Hayes Hall main entrance. People who would have difficulty walking from Waterside Shops to our cultural campus should arrive early to find parking in our lots. This is especially important until the end of 2019.

Two spaces on the east side of the Cultural Campus are equipped with Tesla charging stations for Artis—Naples patrons.

Refreshments

Heidi’s Place is located in the Norris Garden, and there are three beverage bars located in the Hayes Hall lobby on the upper and lower levels, as well as a bar in the Daniels Pavilion. For faster service during intermissions, please preorder in person before the performance.

Accessibility Statement

For Those with Mobility Needs

A Patron Services representative will be happy to assist with any special seating needs when you purchase your tickets. Courtesy wheelchairs are available at the main entrance of Hayes Hall (an easy drop-off location). There are accessible restrooms on both floors of Hayes Hall and in the Daniels Pavilion. Patrons with limited mobility or who prefer to park on campus should plan on arriving early for performances to allow themselves plenty of time to find a parking spot.

 

For Those who are Deaf or Hearing Impaired

Artis—Naples has installed a hearing loop so that people with hearing aids and cochlear implants with telecoil technology will have crystal-clear sound sent directly to their devices when activated. No matter where you sit in the hall, whether in the front row or in a box in the rear, the sound is robust. Wireless listening devices are also available free of charge. Visit the Patron Desk in the lobby of Hayes Hall or contact a member of the usher staff upon entering the Daniels Pavilion to reserve a device or inquire about the hearing loop system. In addition, we are pleased to provide, upon advance request, sign interpreters for specific performances.
