If you have special needs or requests at any point in your visit, please talk with a Visitor Services staff member.

Parking

The underground parking garage entrance is located on 18th Street on the south side of the Museum. The cost is $15 for full-day parking (no re-entry). The parking garage is free after 5 p.m. However, garage hours and prices are subject to change on University of Texas at Austin (UT) football home game days.

Designated and accessible parking spaces are located near the elevators on each level of the garage. Elevators connect the parking garage to the Museum's ground floor entrance. 

For information on where to park buses, motor coaches, RVs, and other large vehicles, call (512) 936-8746.

Amenities

Restrooms are located on each floor of the Museum. A family restroom is located off the first floor lobby. All restrooms are equipped with changing tables and wheelchair-accessible stalls and sinks. Talk with a Visitor Services staff member if you have special needs or requests.

Food and Drink

The Star Cafe is located on the Museum's second floor and offers a variety of breakfast and lunch options, including kid-friendly fare.

Water fountains are located throughout the Museum near the restrooms.

Planning on bringing snacks? Please remember that no food is allowed in the exhibition galleries and that drinks should be kept out of sight in spill proof containers. On a nice day, enjoy your food and drink on the Lone Star Plaza in front of the Museum.
