Plan the whole arrival, not only the route
Madison Square Garden sits above Penn Station. Build in time to move through the station or surrounding blocks and reach the entrance listed for your ticket.
Subway, commuter rail, and intercity rail serve the area, but service changes and station crowds can affect the last part of the trip.
Driving into Midtown can add unpredictable approach and parking time beyond the route estimate. Reserve parking separately when needed.
Entrance instructions and event policies can differ by show or game. Check the event details and current venue guidance before leaving.
