Driving to the Meadows Museum and parking in the garage.

Short answer

Parking is free for museum visitors in the garage under the museum. Enter at the corner of Bishop and Schlegel, through the right entrance marked "Meadows Museum Parking Only".

In detail

The museum is on Bishop Boulevard, one block north of Mockingbird Lane, on the edge of the SMU campus.

  1. Come in from Mockingbird Lane.

    From Central Expressway (US 75), take exit 3, Mockingbird Lane. Turn west and go two blocks, with the stadium on the right. Turn right on Bishop Blvd.

  2. Turn into the garage.

    Turn right on Schlegel Street and make an immediate left into the parking garage under the museum.

  3. Take the right entrance.

    It is marked "Meadows Museum Parking Only". Parking there is free for museum visitors. The museum's group visit FAQ gives the vehicle height clearance as 8 feet 2 inches and asks visitors to bring the parking ticket to the Box Office for validation.

  4. Go up to the museum.

    Use the stairs on street level, or ride the elevators from the first or second level of the garage.

  5. Need an accessible space?

    Accessible parking is near both elevators. If the spots on the Museum Visitor side (right gate) are full, exit, circle the building and re-enter on the University side (left gate), where there are many more.

Tip. The museum states that vehicles legally marked as needing accessible parking will not be ticketed.
