The most direct option is the parking facility under Weisman Art Museum at 333 East River Parkway. The museum lists parking at $3 an hour, with a $13 daily maximum (wam.umn.edu). This puts your car directly beneath the museum rather than requiring a separate walk across campus.
The museum’s parking ramp is open 24/7 and has 120 spaces, including five designated disability parking spaces close to the museum elevator (wam.umn.edu). The facility is on East River Parkway at the museum address, making it the practical first choice for visitors carrying supplies, traveling with mobility equipment, or arriving outside daytime hours.
Parksy Parking Spaces 0.5 Miles From WAM
Parksy lists two Cedar Lot spaces 0.5 miles from WAM at $3 an hour. The Cedar Lot options are suitable for a short museum visit when you want a separately listed outdoor parking space within a half-mile of the site.
Two Riverside Lot spaces are also 0.5 miles away and cost $2 an hour. Parksy additionally lists two monthly spaces 0.5 miles from the museum at $114 a month, including an outdoor lot with 24/7 access and another monthly space in Minneapolis 55403. The hourly Riverside options are the lowest priced Parksy spaces listed near WAM, while the monthly listings suit repeated visits rather than a single gallery stop.
University Parking Around the Museum Garage
University of Minnesota Parking and Transportation Services lists the Art Museum Garage with regular parking on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (pts.umn.edu). The facility is the university parking option associated with the museum and provides an alternative reference point when the parking under the building is unavailable.
The university’s published rate schedule for the Art Museum Garage is $3 an hour during the weekday regular-parking period, with $1 an hour at other times and daily maximums of $15 and $20 (pts.umn.edu). The museum’s own directions page also identifies parking under the museum and directs drivers toward University of Minnesota parking information when the garage is full (wam.umn.edu).
Busy Campus Periods and East River Parkway Parking
Weekday parking demand is concentrated in the Art Museum Garage’s regular parking period of 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (pts.umn.edu). Drivers visiting during that window should allow time to use the museum garage or a nearby university facility rather than relying on a last-minute space.
WAM is on a university campus at 333 East River Parkway, so the surrounding streets function as campus access routes as well as local roads. The museum identifies East River Parkway as the address for its parking facility, while University of Minnesota Parking and Transportation Services publishes the operating periods and rates for the Art Museum Garage (wam.umn.edu; pts.umn.edu). Use marked university parking areas for a museum visit instead of treating nearby curb space as an unrestricted alternative.
Walking From the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Depot
The nearest listed rail landmark is Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Depot Freight House and Train Shed, 1.3 miles from WAM. The walk from the depot to the museum takes 26 minutes.
