Parking at the National Constitution Center Garage
The National Constitution Center garage is the most direct choice for drivers visiting the museum at 525 Arch Street in Center City, near Northern Liberties. The garage entrance is on Race Street between 5th Street and 6th Street, and drivers can enter 550 Race Street for navigation (theconstitutional.com).
The garage is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The official rate is $15 for up to one hour, $25 for up to eight hours, and $30 for up to 24 hours (constitutioncenter.org).

Autopark at Independence Mall Near Arch Street

Drivers entering between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. must exit by 5 p.m. for the evening rate of $10 (philapark.org). This option is useful for an early arrival with a planned daytime departure, while its published capacity gives more structure than searching for an unmarked curb space. The garage is separate from the National Constitution Center garage, so use its own entry instructions when approaching Independence Mall.
Parksy Spaces Around the Museum
Parksy lists two Wyndham Hotel Garage spaces at 41 N. 4th St., each 0.2 mi from the site and each priced at $15.90 a day. Both are garage parking, giving drivers a nearby alternative to the museum-operated facility.
At 0.3 mi, Parksy has a gated lot with valet service priced at $280 a month, a secure garage space priced at $229 a month, and a 24/7 parking garage priced at $11 a day.

Busy Periods and Street Rules Around 525 Arch Street
Parking pressure is higher when visitors are combining the museum with other Center City and Independence Mall attractions. Autopark at Independence Mall offers 612 spaces, but the published early-entry rule requires vehicles entering between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. to exit by 5 p.m. for the evening rate (philapark.org).
The parking directions for the attraction state that drivers cannot park in front of the center on Arch Street, making the garage or a named nearby facility a more practical plan (tendayfilm.org). The museum garage's seven-day schedule and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. opening window also make arrival timing important for drivers visiting outside those hours (constitutioncenter.org).

Franklin Square station is the nearest listed rail stop, at 278 yd from the National Constitution Center and a four-minute walk. The station provides the simplest car-free connection for visitors who would rather avoid Center City garage entrances.
