On weekdays between 8 am and 5 pm, we recommend parking at Far East Plaza and walking to your destination.
On weekdays AFTER 5 pm, however, a cheaper and more convenient option would be to park at Ion Orchard Carpark itself! Compared to both Far East and Lucky Plaza, Ion’s parking of $3/entry is the cheapest out of the 3!
On weekends, if you are planning on a quick stop to run errands, we recommend parking at Lucky Plaza; but if you intend on spending an entire day shopping, we recommend parking at Far East Plaza.
Parking at Somerset
If you plan to do your shopping around Somerset ([email protected], Orchard Central, Cathay Cineleisure etc.), parking at Far East or Lucky Plaza might prove to be a little too far. Luckily, there are also cheaper parking alternatives in Somerset!
We recommend parking your cars at Centrepoint Shopping Centre.
