Parking

Limited free parking is available in the Museum’s underground garage. We highly encourage alternative transportation—please consider carpooling, using rideshare services, or taking public transit.

Due to construction on the east side of the building, please enter the parking lot via 23rd Avenue.

Out of respect for our community, we kindly ask that you do not park in the neighborhood across from the park. The Museum is committed to being a good neighbor and minimizing our impact on those who share this space with us.
