Providence Children's Museum

There is free off-street parking in the Museum's lot. On busier days, the lot fills quickly. Here are some alternatives:

Metered parking (one or two hours) is available on many of the streets surrounding the Museum.
Park all day in the Coro building garage, located one block from the Museum, and purchase a parking sticker ($2) at the Museum Gift Shop before you leave. Stickers are valid for all-day parking.

To reach the Coro garage from the Museum: turn right onto Point Street from Hospital Street; turn right at the light onto East Franklin Street; turn right onto Basset Street; turn right toward the garage. To access the Museum: leave the garage and walk down South Street to the Museum. See map for details.
