Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at Museum of Discovery and Science on SW 2nd Street Museum of Discovery and Science is at 401 SW 2nd Street in Fort Lauderdale, with street parking along SW 2nd Street identified in the museum’s directions information (mods.org). Parking is available at several locations surrounding the building rather than through a single museum car park (mods.org). Nearby garage parking costs between $5 and $15, according to the museum’s visitor information, and garages accept cash or credit cards except for the Broward County garage (mods.org). The museum’s published visitor hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday (mods.org), so arriving before opening gives you more time to settle the car before visiting. ## Parksy Parking Spaces Within a Few Minutes of MDS Parksy lists a secure garage parking space in Fort Lauderdale, 206 yards from MDS, at $2 an hour. This is the closest priced Parksy option, making it useful for a short visit when proximity matters more than finding street parking.

These spaces offer clear hourly pricing for drivers comparing a close walk with the lower hourly rate available farther from the site.
