Ottawa Senators vs Detroit Red Wings 5 Jan 2026

There are several options for parking at the arena:

General parking is in lots 5, 6, and 9, and this is often the most affordable parking. As general parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis, it is important to remember that Lots 5 and 6 will fill prior to an event start, but Lot 9 will not.

Lot 3 has accessible parking spaces. In order to access this parking, patrons must present a valid government-issued Accessible Parking Permit to the attendant, at which point you may either purchase a regular parking pass or present any pre-paid parking pass you may have already purchased

Valet parking is available at a cost of $60. For customers wishing to purchase valet parking upon arrival, availability is limited.

Bus and recreational vehicle parking is $75 for full-sized vehicles and $60 for half-sized vehicles.

There are taxi services available for pre-booking which will drop guests off at the venue.

Guests dropping off passengers may use Frank Finnigan Way located directly in front of Gate 1 at the Canadian Tire Centre.

Limousines may drop off and pick up their customers in the valet drop-off area situated at Dodge Gate for a fee of $50. Pay the cashier in cash only the night of the event or purchase in advance, a package of 20 limousine passes from the Indigo office. These can be paid by company cheque or by cash.

Bus is a popular way to reach the arena due to its connections with several public bus routes:

• Lines 62 & 162 - Cyclone Taylor / Huntmar stop · 50 m (1 min) walk
• Lines 62 & 162 - Ctc Cyclone Taylor / Frank Finnigan stop · 70 m (1 min) walk
• Lines 261 & 263 - Huntmar / Cyclone Taylor stop · 100 m (1 min) walk

OC Transpo Routes 404 and 405 are your connection to Canadian Tire Centre from across the region. The closest train stations are located in southwest Ottawa: Tunney's Pasture, Carling, Carleton, and Mooney's Bay. 

Ottawa has a vast network of multi-use pathways for cycling, and you can take your bike on trains and buses. The city also has bike repair stations and Bikesecure shelters offering reserved parking spots.

As Canadian Tire Centre is located outside the city of Ottawa, it is generally easier to drive into the city centre to discover the sights.
