Parking Information

Paid public parking is available in the lot across 5th Street from the main Museum building, which is the yellow brick building. Parking is $10 plus fees per vehicle for five hours – come-and-go parking is unavailable. Parking lot hours are typically accessible only during the Museum’s operating hours.

Handicap parking is available for free with valid disabled parking placards and plates and is located under the red neon Dr Pepper sign on 5th Street. Additional paid parking is available at the First Baptist Church lot at the corner of Webster and 5th and is $10 daily. Free parking and street parking are available in various locations downtown on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The entrance to the paid lot is on 5th Street and the exit is on Mary Street. Towing is enforced for vehicles that park overnight, enter the lot through a curb or unapproved entrance, or refuse to pay the parking fee. The alley between the paid and staff lot must be cleared for emergency vehicle access at all times – vehicles parked there will be towed.

RV and bus parking is not available in our paid lot.

Street parking is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. First Baptist Church offers paid parking for buses and RVs for $20 per day in their lot at the corner of Webster and 5th Street.

The lot across 5th Street from the building with the red neon Dr Pepper sign is staff parking only and requires a permit. Vehicles parked there that do not belong to Museum staff will be towed immediately.
