## Parking at National Aviary on Arch Street

The on-site lot at National Aviary is the most direct option for visitors arriving at 700 Arch Street in Allegheny Center, near Cultural District. Spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with a $7 flat rate (aviary.org).

The lot closes nightly at 5 pm, so drivers planning a later departure should account for the closing time before leaving the vehicle there (aviary.org). The entrance is at the 700 Arch Street address, placing the car park directly beside the zoo rather than requiring a walk from a separate facility.

## Busy Times and Street Parking Around Allegheny Commons

First-come, first-served parking makes the on-site lot most competitive when visitor demand is high. Weekend outings, school breaks, and popular seasonal visits can therefore make arriving earlier more practical than relying on a space later in the day.

The site is in Allegheny Center near Cultural District, where surrounding streets serve local residents, visitors, and nearby destinations. Drivers using curbside spaces should follow the posted restrictions and payment requirements on each block, rather than treating nearby streets as an extension of the zoo lot. The 5 pm lot closing also matters for anyone combining a visit with an evening in Cultural District.
