Visitor Services

Please visit our information center on the ground floor of the Rhode Island Convention Center. Our staff is available Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. to assist with restaurant reservations, attraction recommendations and in-town transportation options, as well as help with pre- and post-day trips.

The Rhode Island Convention Center (RICC) offers a parking facility that is easily accessible from all major highways and is connected to the RICC, Omni Providence Hotel and Providence Place Mall. They offer a state-of-the-art security system and a professionally trained staff, which translates into the most secure place to park in the City of Providence.

The RICC has recently updated its parking payment to a kiosk-based system, which allows you to pay inside the convention center. Please note, credit cards are the only form of payment accepted.
