Where can my guests park?

The Museum offers several parking options.  Your guests may park at the Lincoln Park Zoo either on their own, or you may pre-pay for parking spaces.  From mid-October through mid-April, guests may park in a pay lot located directly across the street from the Museum.  You may also choose to hire one of our preferred valet providers.
