Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, parking, and ordering to make the most of your visit

  • Factor in 90-Minute Seating Limits for Pre-Show Dining

    Seating sessions run on a 90-minute limit, and service delays can occur during busy dinner rushes. If you are catching a show at QPAC, order early and allow extra time so you don't miss out on dessert or cut it too close.

  • Validate Parking with Minimum Spend

    Take advantage of customer parking validation available with minimum spend at The Star precinct to save on downtown parking fees during your visit.

  • Confirm Dietary Options and Modification Limits

    While gluten-free pizza bases and pasta options are offered, most dishes are pre-prepared with limited flexibility for modifications, and certain gluten-free pizza bases carry an additional charge. Mention dietary restrictions upon arrival.
