Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Broadway Garage for Museum of Comparative Zoology Visits The nearest recommended official facility is Harvard University's Broadway Garage at 7 Felton Street. Limited parking is available there, and permits must be purchased online through the Harvard Campus Services system (Harvard Magazine). The garage is a practical choice for drivers who prefer a university-operated facility near the site rather than searching residential streets. Harvard Art Museums lists Broadway Garage permits ranging from $11 to $22, with online purchase required through Harvard Campus Services (Harvard Art Museums). The published information identifies the garage and permit system, while the nearby Parksy spaces provide alternatives for drivers who need a bookable space closer to their route. ## Oxford Street Parking Pressure Around MCZ The site is at 26 Oxford Street in Cambridge, 0.6 mi from Cambridge center. Its setting near Harvard means street parking can become difficult during busy university and visitor periods, particularly when nearby destinations are drawing drivers at the same time. Drivers using surrounding streets should treat posted restrictions and curb controls as decisive. Parking conditions can change from one block to the next around Oxford Street, so a legal space is not guaranteed simply because a vehicle spot appears open. Broadway Garage is at 7 Felton Street, giving visitors a named off-street option when curb parking is inconvenient (Harvard Magazine). Show map of Cambridge ## Named Alternatives Near the Cambridge Museum Harvard University's Broadway Garage at 7 Felton Street is the principal named alternative identified near the site, with limited parking and permits purchased online through Harvard Campus Services (Harvard Magazine). Harvard Art Museums also describes Broadway Garage permits as ranging from $11 to $22 (Harvard Art Museums). The Broadway Garage option is especially useful for visitors who want an organized university facility rather than relying on a curb space. Its permit arrangement means the purchase step needs to be handled online before arrival, rather than assumed to be available as a casual pay-on-entry space (Harvard Magazine). ## Parksy Spaces Within 0.6 Mi of MCZ A convenient 24/7 lighted space in Somerville is 0.5 mi away and costs $160 a month. For shorter visits, covered valet parking at 73 Bennett Street is 0.5 mi away for $14 a day. Covered parking at 45 University Road is 0.6 mi away for $8 a day, while a Cambridge parking lot 0.6 mi away charges $2.25 an hour. These options span weekly, monthly, daily, and hourly stays. ## Harvard Station and Walking to MCZ Harvard station is the nearest rail stop, 0.4 mi from the site and an 8-minute walk away.

From Harvard station, allow the stated 8-minute walk to reach 26 Oxford Street. Cambridge center is 0.6 mi from the site, so visitors starting in the center can also compare a walk or rail journey with the cost and availability of off-street parking.
