The museum’s official directions page identifies the address and provides parking directions for visitors arriving by car (nature.ca). For a straightforward alternative near the site, Parksy lists a parking space 290 m away on Waverley Street at $3 an hour. A second nearby parking lot is 300 m away and also costs $3 an hour, giving drivers two similarly priced options within walking distance of the museum. ## Busy Times Around the Centretown Museum The museum sits in Centretown at the corner of McLeod Street and Metcalfe Street, so the approach is urban rather than a dedicated out-of-town visitor setting (nature.ca). Drivers heading to 240 McLeod Street should expect nearby parking demand from the surrounding central Ottawa streets. Street parking around the site should be treated as subject to the posted local restrictions, including any time limits, payment requirements and no-stopping areas. The museum’s official directions page confirms the McLeod Street and Metcalfe Street location but does not provide a separate street-parking schedule (nature.ca).
