Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Melbourne Museum Car Park for an IMAX Show The venue’s discounted parking is in the Melbourne Museum car park beneath the museum, giving drivers the most direct option for a screening. Entry before 4:00 PM attracts a $15 rate, while entry after 4:00 PM attracts a $5 rate, with the car park open from 5:30am until midnight daily (imaxmelbourne.com.au). Drivers can validate their car park ticket at the IMAX Candy Bar to access the special Melbourne Museum car park discount (imaxmelbourne.com.au). The museum also lists an IMAX evening rate of $5 flat rate for entry after 4pm and exit before midnight (museumsvictoria.com.au). Accessible parking spaces are on Level P2, where the car park has a 2.15m height restriction (imaxmelbourne.com.au). ## Rathdowne Street Parking Rules Around the Venue On-street parking is available on Rathdowne Street, giving drivers an alternative to the underground museum car park for a short visit or a screening (miff.com.au). The street sits beside the cinema entrance at 2E Rathdowne Street, Carlton VIC 3053, so the final approach is straightforward. For accessible parking, the venue directs visitors to Level P2 of the Melbourne Museum car park rather than relying on kerbside space (imaxmelbourne.com.au). A screening that finishes close to midnight leaves less time for the underground car park exit, because the facility operates until midnight daily (museumsvictoria.com.au). Show map of Carlton ## Parksy Parking Spaces Within 380 Metres of IMAX Parksy lists a secure underground parking space 270 m away at $60 an hour, plus secure undercover parking 310 m away at $455 a month. A secure outdoor space is 320 m away at $286 a month, while a secure private space is 360 m away at $200 a month. Two secure gated spaces are listed 380 m away, priced at $3 an hour and $4 an hour respectively, both offering 24/7 access. The 270 m underground space gives the shortest listed Parksy walk, while the 380 m spaces leave a longer walk after a late screening or a match nearby. ## Paramount Car Park Near Carlton’s Cinema Precinct Paramount Car Park is a named alternative to the Melbourne Museum facility and is described as walking distance to the theatre (paramountcarpark.com.au). The operator promotes attractive parking rates, with early bird, weekend and evening rates available (paramountcarpark.com.au). Drivers comparing the named facilities can use Paramount Car Park for a walkable alternative while keeping the museum car park available for direct venue access. The operator’s published categories include early bird rates, weekend rates and evening rates, which suit different arrival times around a screening (paramountcarpark.com.au). ## Walking From Flinders Street Station to IMAX Melbourne Flinders Street is the nearest listed station, 1.7 km from the cinema and a 21 min walk. The route provides a rail-based option for visitors who would rather avoid searching for a space around Carlton before a busy screening. The destination is at 2E Rathdowne Street, Carlton VIC 3053, placing the final approach in Carlton rather than beside Flinders Street station. Walking from Flinders Street takes longer than the short walks from the nearby Parksy spaces, but avoids arranging a car exit around the museum car park’s midnight closing time.
