Washington St., at the end of 8th Street behind the museum. The venue lists parking at $15 per car for non-members and $8 per car for members (kysciencecenter.org). The lot is an uncovered, self-park surface lot with 24/7 access (riversideparking.com). For a museum visit, this is the most direct driving option because the entrance is behind the site rather than on West Main Street. The venue also identifies street meters as another paid option around the building (kysciencecenter.org). ## Parksy Spaces Within 0.5 Miles of the Museum Parksy lists a parking lot in Louisville, 0.2 mi from Kentucky Science Center, at $6 a day. A secure garage parking space in Louisville is 0.3 mi away at $25 a day. Parksy also lists a Louisville parking lot 0.5 mi away for $15 a day. The two listings described as being on Market Street, San Antonio are not practical Louisville choices for this visit. Show map of Louisville ## Downtown Louisville Timing and Street-Meter Pressure Weekends and school visits can put extra pressure on the limited parking around a downtown museum, particularly when several groups arrive at similar times. The venue directs field-trip drivers to paid parking behind Kentucky Science Center and separately mentions street meters (kysciencecenter.org). Drivers using surrounding streets should treat metered spaces as regulated parking rather than as overflow for an all-day visit. The venue's field-trip guidance identifies street-meter parking and the paid lot behind the building as separate options (kysciencecenter.org). The Science Center Lot remains accessible 24/7, which is useful for early arrivals or later events (riversideparking.com). ## Other Named Parking Choices Around West Main Street The Science Center Lot is the named facility closest to the museum, so drivers comparing alternatives can use other downtown parking rather than turning onto 8th Street immediately. For drivers who prefer a garage, the secure Louisville garage space listed by Parksy is 0.3 mi away and costs $25 a day. A further Louisville parking lot is 0.5 mi away at $15 a day. The venue identifies the behind-the-building lot and street meters as its parking choices (kysciencecenter.org). ## Walking From Union Station to Kentucky Science Center Union Station is the nearest listed station, 0.9 mi from Kentucky Science Center, with an 18-minute walk to 727 West Main Street. The site is 0.3 mi from Louisville center, so visitors already downtown can make the final approach on foot. Drivers parking farther away can use the walk as part of the visit, while the 24/7 access at the Science Center Lot supports arrival outside standard daytime schedules (riversideparking.com).
