Downtown Container Park

The basics

The 1-acre (0.5-hectare) site is known for its one-of-a-kind shops, with an emphasis on local businesses with diverse offerings. Art, restaurants, bars, and a gelato shop round out what’s on offer. With its Fremont Street location, the park is close to other downtown attractions and hotels, making it easy to stop by for a bite to eat or a breather from the casinos. For a guided experience, various tours make a stop at the park, including food tours, historical walking tours, Segway tours, and bar crawls.
