There are more than 7,000 free parking places at RTA rail stations. All trains go to the Tower City Station. From there, it is a quick trip on RTA’s Waterfront Line to the North Coast station, which is close to the Huntington Cleveland Harborfest and Tall Ships, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and the Great Lakes Science Center.
