Getting Here & Parking
Avoid use of Exit 133 off I-5. This exit is generally closed for high volume traffic events and traffic will be re-routed. Recommended directions.
For more information on our new streamlined parking system, please visit our parking page. Check out the Plan Your Visit page for alternate parking and transportation options.
Security & Bag Policy
Security measures are in place for all Tacoma Dome events, including metal detectors, bag size restrictions (12"x6"x12"), and bag searches. Backpacks are not allowed. Weapons of any kind, including pocket knives, are not allowed. If you see something, say something™. Visit our Security page for more details. Please note: the Tacoma Dome clear bag policy is not in place for the Tacoma Home + Garden Show. However, guests are encouraged to only bring essential items to expedite entry and reduce touchpoints.
Cashless Facility
The Tacoma Dome is a cashless facility, including all concession and merchandise sales. Google Pay and Apple Pay are also available at concession points of sale. There are cash-to-card kiosks (reverse ATM’s) where guests can exchange their cash for a Tacoma Dome VISA card. Card balances remain usable anywhere after the event. Going cashless improves the transaction process, reduces wait times, and limits guest to staff contact. Cashless parking payment options are also available. Please visit our Cashless FAQs for more information.
