Parking

The Museum does not have a parking garage.  However, several third-party parking garages in the vicinity of the Museum offer hourly and daily parking options.  These garages typically charge additional fees for luxury and oversized vehicles, such as SUVs.  For the most up-to-date parking garage options, we recommend searching for “parking” in Apple Maps or Google Maps.  Be sure to check online reviews and ratings.
