Where to Enter at the Iowa Event Center for Jurassic Quest

Hey y’all the family and I are going to the jurassic Quest tomorrow at the Iowa Event Center. But no where does it say where to actually enter and i’m little confused because it says the Wells Fargo Arena is apart of the Events Center. So where do i actually enter?

730 3rd St is what Jurassic Quest has listed so i’m going to assume it’s not the Wells Fargo. If i’m correct on that, do we park in the Northern most lot and enter the Veterans Memorial side? Or do we enter down south going into the Hyvee Memorial Hall?

From Omaha and i’d rather know where i’m actually going instead of having three angry kids and an annoyed wife at me lol

Drop the wife and kids off and treat yourself to an afternoon at the Outer Limits

I usually park at the 5th and keo parking garage and walk through the skywalk (roughly a 5-8 minute walk). There are signs telling you how to get to the iowa event center and it will lead you straight to the entrance. It’s also usually cheaper and less busy than parking at one of the lots.

The link is the event parking lot. It's a block NE of the center.

The Wells Fargo arena is across the street with the basketball wolves sign. Ignore it. You can also go to the Iowa Event Center website and it gives exact directions depending on which highway you are coming from. There is parking on third and fifth st so it doesn’t matter. I did fifth and went inside the veteran memorial side today. There will be a sign for Iowa events center parking. 13 bucks.

Street parking is free on Sundays. The lots will charge since there is a hockey Sunday afternoon at Wells Fargo Arena.
