Busy Times and Parking Controls Around South Tay Street
The council’s variable-stay controls apply to Science Centre East and Science Centre West on South Tay Street. Monday to Saturday restrictions operate from 8am to 6pm, while Sunday controls operate from 1pm to 6pm (dundeecity.gov.uk).
These hours make the surrounding area particularly important to plan around for daytime visits, because the site has both short- and long-term pay-and-display parking beside it (dundeesciencecentre.org.uk). The official visitor information also places parking in front of and behind the centre, so arrival at a busy time can involve choosing between those areas and the nearby multistorey car park (dundeesciencecentre.org.uk).
Blue Badge parking is provided at the rear, with two designated spaces (accessable.co.uk). Coach parking is beside the centre rather than in the ordinary visitor parking areas (dundeesciencecentre.org.uk).
