Parking

There are several parking lots adjacent to the site. There is no parking in the neighbouring residential area.

Parking at the Museum of Vancouver and H.R. MacMillan Space Centre is now an EasyPark pay lot. For Bard patrons there will be a flat rate of $5.00 for a 5 hour period. This allows for approximately 90 minutes before curtain, a three hour performance and 30 minutes to exit. As there are only two meters in the lot please allow for additional time to pay for parking. Meters accept coins and credit cards only (Visa and Mastercard). Coin transactions are significantly faster to process.

A limited number of handicap spots are located in the Archives parking lot.

Bike to Bard
