Group Visits

Simplify planning with transportation from CharterUP, GOGO Charters, or National Charter Bus. These companies offer a range of Charlotte charter buses and private shuttle rentals for easy group transportation in North Carolina and beyond.

Bus drivers should drop off visitors at the museum’s front entrance, then park in Overflow/Bus Parking located west of the museum. (Turn right out of the driveway and follow the signs.) 

Where to Park

Please note that our parking lots fill up quickly on special event days. We encourage visitors to arrive early or to carpool with family and friends during these events. Overflow parking is located west of the museum if the main lot has no available parking spaces.
