Update (10 Aug 2022): Did you know that you could reserve a parking slot in advance at the Parking Garage South? Click here for more details.
I spent a big chunk of my childhood roaming the Cubao shopping and leisure area before it was officially called the Araneta Center. We watched movies at Ali Mall or at New Frontier (now the Kia Theater), watched concerts at the Araneta Coliseum, shopped at SM Cubao, COD (now Save More), or at Isetann, and had fun at Fiesta Carnival (now the Shopwise Arcade). Since then this entertainment hub has evolved and with evolution comes new problems. The problem of this millennia — parking!
Parking at the Araneta Center is more affordable than most places in the Metro. Business and leisure hubs like Makati or BGC tend to charge an arm and a leg. This makes us grateful to find places like the Araneta Center that offer reasonable parking rates for their shoppers and workforce.
Here are the rates below as published on the Araneta Center website. Note that some are still empty. This means that I have not found any information on those places yet. However, I will update this page as soon as I discover more:
Note: Parking is free for Senior Citizens who are residents of Quezon City.

Here is a map of the parking venues/spaces located at the Araneta Center for your reference.
Araneta Center parking map sourced from https://www.aranetacenter.net
From my experience, the best places to park are Gateway (which is below ground) and South Parking Garage (which has parking slots below and above ground). These two are more or less in the center of the Araneta Center which means that parking in either makes it close to just about any place you may want to go in the area.
Araneta Center Green & Go e-Shuttle
In case you want to go from Gateway Mall to Ali Mall or vice versa just take the Green & Go E-Shuttle … it is an electric open van and is a free service provided by the Araneta Center for its shoppers. Specific stations are marked in both malls for pickups and drop-offs.
In the past, senior citizens and PWD, and people with receipts of purchases made at the Araneta Center were given priority to ride the e-shuttle. Now, this privilege is limited to senior citizens and PWD.
Manhattan Parkway and Parkview (these are 2 separate parking structures) are located closer to Aurora Blvd. and are ideal for if you are going to any of the restaurants located in either building. My favorite eating spots at Manhattan are Four Season, Mister Kebab, and Burger King. 😀
If you haven’t yet, now may be a good time to explore the Araneta Center in Cubao. See you there soon!

Important announcement! BGC gives parking discounts to senior citizens and PWD when you present your ID card upon paying to exit the parking structure/space.
BGC (short for Bonifacio Global City) is one of the premier destinations in Metro Manila for business and leisure with many establishments spread out through several hectares of land. To cater to the needs of the people, many parking establishments were strategically located within BGC. Here are their rates to help you decide the best place for you to park.

I tried to create a google map to chart all the parking areas but, unfortunately, it was a bigger task than I anticipated as not all the locations can easily be found (by me). But I’m sure if you Waze it, you will have no problem. 🙂
Hope this chart helps you out! And … if you have any updates, do let me know so I could update this post.
