 Museum Campus parking has never been more convenient. Located just across McFetridge Drive from the Museum, the North Garage provides indoor parking for 2,500 cars. The 1,700 space Waldron Garage, just south of the stadium, also provides overflow parking for museum guests.
Both garages, as well as the Adler Planetarium parking lot, can be easily accessed via the 18th Street exit from Lake Shore Drive. Exit on 18th Street and follow 18th Street east to Museum Campus Drive and then Museum Campus Drive north to the garage entrance. Entrance to the North Garage is off Museum Campus Drive.

Visitor parking in all lots on the Museum Campus is $16.00 for the first 4 hours and $19 thereafter. This includes the Adler Lot, the North Garage, the Waldron Garage and the East Museum Lot. For more parking information go to the Soldier Field Parking website.

Events at one or more of these locations can impact traffic to and from the Campus.

Bears Home Game Days
During Bears home games and other major special events at Soldier Field, access to the Museum Campus can be challenging. No museum visitor parking is available on the Museum Campus during Bears home games. However, public transit remains a great way to get to the Campus every day of the year.
 For more information, please see our public transit information, the City of Chicago’s transit page, or call the Regional Transportation Authority at (312) 836-7000.
