Parking
Paid parking is available at San Jacinto Parking Garage next to Texas Science & Natural History Museum as well as in other UT parking garages, and metered parking is available along Dean Keeton St. and along San Jacinto Blvd. on the south side of Dean Keeton. Parking is also available near the LBJ Library lot #40.
Because UT Austin is a busy campus with many different activities and events, we recommend exploring several parking or public transportation options as you plan your museum visit. See all UT parking garages.
Due to traffic and parking constraints on campus on Gamedays, the museum will be closed to the public on the days on which the Longhorns have a game at the Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium. See Longhorns football schedule.
