At that point, there is no difference between this lot and the one Colorado lot (my other preferred spot in the area). Making a review post because the other info here is outdated. Other than this, it comes down from four stars to three stars since the elevators are down at the moment (August 2025); therefore, if you have accessibility issues that could be an issue.

It is close to Chef Tony's Dim Sum, Hello Gelato, YiFang, All India, 85 Bakery, and so many more dining and shopping. It does have a few spaces for free 15 mins parking... sometimes I use this option when I'm picking up a to-go order from All India. Otherwise, if I need to park longer, I'll pay $1 for the first 2 hours. For any additional hour, it's $2 each. Maximum daily or lost ticket, it's $12 total. You can't beat these prices compared to other parking facilities at other cities. Of course, it all depends on where you're at. I think most of the Pasadena parking facilities are set at these prices. Yay! They used to offer first 90 mins parking free, but that is no longer available. Oh well... we gotta go with the times. Grateful for the low parking cost especially when there are so much to see, do, and eat in Old Town Pasadena. I can spend the entire day here! Just a tip, pick a centralized parking structure before heading over to Old Town Pasadena so you don't have to walk too far to get from one end to the other end.

The cheapest lots are closer to Green and Fair Oaks/Raymond. It is a safe lot and it is convenient if you don't want to walk far; however, I think that the "Schoolhouse" lot is the one you want to search for if you want a cheaper lot.

It was the closest parking garage to Bone Kettle, so we parked here. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and they had plenty of parking. Surprisingly, there were a lot of cars in the garage when we came back. None of the pay stations were working so there was a parking attendant at the gate collecting money before you exit.

It's the next level shopping and dining experience you will remember. The sophisticated ambiance creates intrigue, wonder, and delight for visitors from all around near and far. Come enjoy the cool restaurants, fun shopping, spectacular dining and outdoor seating that you may not find anywhere else! Don't forget to check out both north and south shops. Btw, free parking is available located closer to Erewhon.

Parking attendants are no longer on site since the transition to an automative payment system, so be sure to pay at the machine before returning to your car. Elevators and escalators are available. I used to frequent The Paseo on a regular basis but now I'm here every six weeks for my hair appointment. Occasionally, I'll stop by to pick up something at Bath & Body Works, H&M, or one of the other shops in the complex. I appreciate the 90-minute free parking with validation ($1.50 after/$12 max) since I'm usually in & out.

The atmosphere is fantastic, with outdoor seating where you can enjoy a coffee, get some work done, or just hang out and relax. A unique feature of the courtyard is the two red telephone booths, which add a fun decorative touch and make the space feel even more inviting.

Looking forward to try these! For retail and services, there's the Dry Bar, Soulcycle, Facile Skin Care and Williams Sonoma. It's a small complex and not too crowded. I would take family and friends here to eat and relax.
