Parking at PAD 2025

Due to the size of Purdue Aviation Day, free parking is on a first come, first served basis. Free general parking is available in two locations near the Purdue University Airport, and paid parking is available at the Harrison Street Parking Garage with a free shuttle to the event. 

• We encourage traffic traveling northbound on US-231 to exit the highway via a right turn onto Jischke Drive, take the third exit at the roundabout, and follow signage and volunteer directions into the Discovery Parking Lot (North Lot). A shuttle will bring attendees to the event from this lot and will run every 10-15 minutes. There is also a walking path to the event from this lot. 

• We encourage traffic traveling southbound on US-231 to exit the highway via a right turn on Airport Rd. Signage and volunteers will direct vehicles down to the Airport C Gravel Lot (South Lot). There is a walking path to the event from this lot and golf cart transport is available upon request. 

Attendees who would like to use a paid garage instead of a lot may park in the Harrison Street Parking Garage and ride the free shuttle to the event.  

We can't wait to see you on April 5th! Boiler Up!
