Getting to the museum: Directions, parking, and support
The Science Museum is located at 120 W. Kellogg Boulevard in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. It is accessible by car, bike, train, bus, or on foot.

Driving
Park at the Science Museum parking ramp via Chestnut Street. Save the ticket you receive as you enter the ramp — you will need it to exit! From the parking ramp, take the elevators to the Science Museum Lobby on Level 5 and enter the museum. 
(Please note: The museum ramp is on the right as you approach the ramp entrance. Free parking is available in the Science Museum ramp ONLY; we are not able to validate parking for the RiverCentre parking ramp)

Biking
Bike racks and lockers are available at the museum.


Transportation support
