Secure undercover paid parking is available at the Museum from 6.30AM to 6.30PM, except when an evening event is taking place for which the carpark has been opened longer. Enter the Museum car park from Maunsell Road.
There are three ways to pay for parking when you visit:
- Tap your Paywave card on exit
- Pay at the machine
- Use the Inugo app*
*Please note a 50c convenience fee applies to all Inugo transactions.
The car park pay station accepts VISA, MasterCard, EFTPOS and cash up to $20 notes. Our car park is under CCTV and security surveillance.
There is some free parking, subject to availability, in the Auckland Domain. Please note that during busy periods such as school holidays, public holidays and weekends it may be difficult to find a carpark at the Museum or in the Domain.
Accessible parking
A limited number of mobility parking spaces are located in the underground carpark and at the South Atrium Entrance. There are also two pick-up and drop-off mobility parking spaces right next to the Memorial Entrance. Click here to find out more about accessibility options.
