Parking at the Museum of Zoology on the New Museums Site
There is no general visitor parking at the Museum of Zoology, so drivers should not plan to leave a standard car at the entrance (museum.zoo.cam.ac.uk). The site has one accessible parking bay on the New Museums Site for eligible visitors (museum.zoo.cam.ac.uk).
This is the practical choice for visitors arriving by car when the accessible bay is not suitable, because the Museum does not provide general visitor parking.
Grand Arcade and Other Cambridge Parking Choices
Grand Arcade is the named nearby car park recommended by the Museum for drivers.
Cambridge City Council provides disabled parking at the car park beside the Car Park Customer Service office and Shopmobility (museum.zoo.cam.ac.uk). This is identified by the Museum’s family-visiting guidance as the relevant council provision for visitors needing disabled parking, while the New Museums Site bay remains the Museum’s own accessible parking provision.
Busy Cambridge Streets Around the Museum

Parking directly at the Museum is restricted to the single accessible bay on the New Museums Site. General visitor parking is not available at the Museum, so surrounding streets should not be treated as an extension of the attraction’s parking facilities (museum.zoo.cam.ac.uk).
