According to their website, there is about 400 parking spaces at/next to CHM plus some 200 near site parking. As far as I'm aware it's always free even when they have valet because parking has filled up the onsite parking. Maybe someone who has been there for a weekend event can comment more

Hold on a second I thought CHM admission was included in the price of the ticket. Also, is it saying that you have to be a CHM member and buy CHM tickets to get half off (i.e. just buying on the day of admission is not enough) otherwise I agree with Bill those of us who bought our tickets
