Accessibility and Parking

The museum’s parking lot is located at 650 Alexander Avenue. Parking costs $2 per hour and payment is processed through Duke’s Blue Spot website under NASH parking lot. If you experience difficulties while using the Blue Spot site, please write down or take a photo of your vehicle’s license plate number and seek assistance at the Visitor Services Desk.

Additional paid parking is available on weekends and after 4 PM on weekdays in the Campus Drive lot, located on Anderson Street near the Campus Drive intersection ($2 per hour).

The museum’s parking lot includes designated accessible parking spaces, and the entrance path is ADA accessible. Guests with mobility challenges may use the Anderson Street driveway for passenger drop-off and pick-up, or may park in a designated accessible space. If you need assistance getting from the parking lot to the museum entrance, call the Visitor Services Desk at 919-684-6090 and a staff member will be happy to pick you up in a golf cart.
