Planning a visit to A Time For Science?

As downtown Greenville continues to grow and evolve, parking at the museum is changing, too. Sometime next week, our parking lot will permanently close. 🚗

The good news is that there are still several easy parking options nearby! We encourage visitors to check out the Downtown Greenville parking map here: https://www.greenvillenc.gov/491/On-Street-and-Surface-Lot-Parking to see the closest public parking areas and plan your next museum visit.

Some of the closest parking spots include street parking along 8th Street and Dickinson Avenue, the Five Points Plaza parking lot, Dickinson Lot, and the Clark Street Lot. 🅿

Although it may look like a long distance on the map, most street parking and the parking deck are less than a 5 to 10 minute walk from the museum.

We’re excited to continue being part of a growing downtown community and look forward to seeing you at the museum soon! 💚

Woohoo! We can't wait to bring SPACE to your PLACE! We'll see you there :)

The stars are aligning, right here in Craven County! Come explore the depths of the universe with this special Mobile Planetarium experience in partnership with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences!
