Museum Parc Garage - near Moscone Center

Found this on SpotHero for a decent price for 8 hour parking with in and out privileges. Vehicles only under 6 feet allowed. Low ceiling garage, low lighting.

Parked here for 2 hours and came back to multiple busted out windows. Lots of sketchy people were in the garage and NO attendant or security whatsoever is there!

AVOID THIS PARKING GARAGE AT ALL COSTS. Sketchy business being done here. They advertise their early bird special of $14 (in before 10am and out after 3pm), but when you arrive, they do not honor it. I called the business prior to my arrival to verify the rates and they let the call go to voicemail. When you arrive, the rates are hidden inside the garage, after you already enter. And sure enough, once you're already in, they change the sign for the early bird special to say it's not honored that day. No warning whatsoever on their outside postage. If you're working, don't go here on a time crunch because I didn't have time myself before work to choose another lot. I spoke to the attendant that worked there after I got off my shift. He was rude and snarky. I mentioned the early bird special had been advertised and he said it wasn't honored for conventions. I also mentioned that his signage didn't warn that it wasn't honored (otherwise I would've chosen elsewhere) and he told me he put out a sign yesterday. How does that help for people parking TODAY? Also none of the other lots nearby increased their prices during the convention- choose wisely, this place ain't it. Finally I succumbed to paying $46 to park tor the day, when across the street was a flat rate of $20. The owners practices are clearly conniving. When I tried to pay while exiting, their machine malfunctioned and ate my ticket, and kept saying my credit card was disabled. I pressed the intercom and sure enough it was the owner who was very rude and didn't believe me that the machine ate my ticket. I couldn't do anything until he reluctantly had to walk up and actually help me. He opened the machine only to see that it did indeed eat my ticket. Total waste of $46 and a really rude dude to interact with. 0 stars deserved.

one of the worst garages you could possibly go to. They advertise a early bird special that if you arrive before 10 and stay for at least 5 hours it will only be $18. MY wife arrived 10 min before 10am and left at 4pm and HAD TO PAY $55. This place is a joke and anywhere that charges $55 to park no matter what should be avoided at all costs. HORRIBLE. This is literally just a legal way to steal money from people trying to work.

Early bird requires 5 hours minimum parking. While it does advertise this on the sign, this is the only time I had seen a minimum parking time in any garage and wasn't looking for sketchy language like that on the sign. I don't know why they would want to force you to remain in the garage taking up an extra spot for an extended period of time if you finish your business in only 3 hours aside from just trying to intentionally trick people (like me) in a hurry who didn't read the smaller print close enough.

Love this garage. Super convenient to park and on non-event days it's only $14!!!!! (need to park BEFORE 10am and out AFTER 3pm) what a steal

paid 46 dollars for just over 2 hours…

Zero help on pre paid reservations

This parking garage met our needs on a Saturday afternoon. $10 for all day (9 hours to be exact) was not a bad deal at all, even if we didn't stay that long. Booked in advance through SpotHero, and it was a smooth process. Made it easy to attend the How Weird Street Faire this past weekend, just a few minutes walk away. Plus, in-and-out privileges add to the convenience, though we didn't need to take advantage of this. Excellent value, particularly if you reserve ahead online.

Watch out! Sign for EARLY BIRD SPECIAL $18 lures you in...the fine print says "in before 10 out after 5." AFTER 5. Meaning if you stay a couple hours they try to charge you $46! For less time! I told the attendant that was confusing and misleading and we would not have parked there had we known. After I told him to contact his supervisor, the supervisor agreed to let us pay $18. So don't fall for it like we did! I can't imagine how many people they get with that one.

I parked here thinking it wouldn't be too expensive because it had a sign outside with an early bird special that was like $18. There was no signs for pricing, even when grabbing the ticket to get into the lot. It was not until I walked back to the ticket machine and stared at the machine and it read $7 for the first 15 minutes! I thought okay, not too bad I guess for the city right? Well 15-30 minutes was $19!! If you park longer than 1.5hrs, it will be $46! This is NOT a deal at all!! I only decided to park here because I couldn't find any street parking with meters for my dinner nearby. I parked, walked over to dinner at Fogo de Chāo and saw there was another lot (SFMTA- Moscone Center Garage) that was only charging $3/hour! As I got to dinner I was like man that's like paying for another person's dinner. Plus, the spots are super tight, so if you have a large car it would probably not be very easy to park. Maybe their monthly deal is better for those that work nearby. But if you're there for just a few hours, I suggest you go to another lot.

paying $46 at the Museum Parc parking garage for 2 hours and 16 minutes last night was absolute highway robbery. we did appreciate all the signs warning us to remove "all valuables from your car to prevent break-ins" because hiring security I imagine would be cost-prohibitive. I think I'll park on the street and risk a break-in or better, Uber to/from home since it would cost about the same as here and I wouldn't have to drive.

Close to Moscone Center, feel safe w/ onsite garage attendant service and Q&A, good early bird price ;)

Parked here for 4 years. All the whining about early bird. The hours have varied a few times due to events like baseball games, shows, conference's, etc. They always have signs as you enter the garage days in advance. Still the best deal on 3rd Street for parking. Pay attention to signs and you'll be fine. My only wish is that it would be open later at night.

MY CAR WAS STOLEN FROM HERE! I parked there Saturday morning 8/4/18 for the $10 weekend flat rate for work. Went there 6 hours later and my car was GONE! Called the assistance # on the pay machine and it turns out they're in Chicago (no help there whatsoever), and NO ATTENDANT on duty until Monday. I was told by police that someone may have jimmied the lock, hot-wired it, paid the lost ticket fee and drove out of there. PARK AT YOUR OWN RISK!

This is the 2nd time we've used this garage. Easy to find. Quick and easy to get in and out. Offers additional time if you are booking a lengthy time frame.

Good location. Pricey but my car was always safe. Also well lit and below a busy gym so as a woman always felt like someone was around. So premium was worth it.

Pretty easy to use SpotHero to book for this location. In and out with just a scan of the QR code on the phone. Parking fees are very competitive compared to garages around the area. The only issue is that parking spaces are a bit small.

If you arrive before 10am and leave after 3pm, it's 14 dollars. Compared to other garages in the area, that's a pretty good deal. The garage itself seems relatively safe with a decent amount of people roaming around, so I wasn't too worried about leaving my car there. It's a bit small and tight but there are spots available usually and the systems for getting in and out and paying are easy enough to use.

The guys are very friendly here. Best rate for monthly in the area (less than $14/day). Prices can be tricky if you don't do monthly and are subject to event pricing or limits to the number of early bird cars (in before 10am put after 4pm) they take. Some spots are tight but you have choices if you're in by a few min after 9am.

I read up on parking garage reviews before heading into the city in search of a decent-priced parking spot on a Saturday afternoon. Basically a lot of people complain about tight-spaces and changing rates. On a random Saturday, we had no issues parking here. I made sure the sign was up for the $10 flat rate for Saturday. It was not difficult to get in, and there were plenty of spaces to choose from. I made sure to choose a spot closer to the stairwell and at the end by a pillar so if a bad parker squeezes in too tight, I could still get into my car. Overall, nothing bad happened and my car and wallet survived the few hours I was parked here. This parking garage is close to the Yuerba Buena Center, so if you are headed to the Children's Creativity Museum like we were, this is not a bad location - just walk across the street and take the back staircase/elevator up to the Yuerba Buena Center.

Early bird special randomly disappears, and you get hit by a 46 dollar parking charge. No way to reasonably find out beforehand

Note to the Moscone Center conference attendees: Recommend avoiding this garage. Absolute rip-off! Entered at around 11:30am on a Tuesday to attend conference at Moscone Center. Didn't see signs indicating parking rates, which, admittedly, should have been my red flag. The only sign I did see read "No early-bird specials today". Asked attendant what the rate was for conference parking for the day. He said $20 but be sure to pick up your car by 6pm. Show ended at 5pm. Returned to garage at 5:20 to retrieve car. Went to pay parking ticket - amount due =$45! Complained to attendant about the discrepancy and he said that he only handles the valet and that there was no one there I could speak with about this. I asked whether there were any posted signs displaying the rate and he said that he didn't think so because it varies. Despite the employee "handling the valet", they just directed me to pick up my own car from the spot where it was parked. Got into the car to find that my seat had been moved all the way back and reclined and my coin holder had been emptied of all of its quarters. $45 for an afternoon of parking, even in SF and, especially, when quoted a different price by attendant, is just plain wrong. Only glad that I thought to grab my FasTrak transponder and keep it with me before I left the car with these petty thieves. You guys got my money one time and only once - never again. Let the parker beware!

Good place to park - friendly staff. We went past it the first time since the entrance looks like a tiny alley off Third. They do lock up at 11pm on weekdays and double check the hours on the weekend - Sunday was posted as 6pm. We prepaid $25 for the night and zoomed out the next day.

I used to visit this parking garage very often when we would go skating at the nearby ice rink. When I needed to get my Covid vaccine at the Moscone Center, I pulled in to park here. Since I'd parked here before, I didn't expect the rates to be too out of line for the area. I stayed an hour and 15 minutes and was told the rate was $46 dollars. When I expressed confusion about the rate being so high, I said that I wished they'd posted rates more clearly. The attendant said "I could have worked with you" but he didn't like what I said, so he wasn't going to help me out. I was very disappointed with the way that I was treated and the high rates so don't recommend using this lot.

Parking in SF is a pain in the arse. That being said, there's nothing better than finding parking for CHEAP and with friendly service. Came here on a Tuesday for a conference so I needed to find all-day parking. I came in around 11:30AM and the all-day flat rate was $10!! What a freakin' steal. Supposedly the rate varies day by day because the sign outside had even said $20 flat-rate. It's self parking or they'll do valet for you free of charge. They're super friendly and helpful. Seriously, this place made my day. Parking is a bitch in SF and they made the hardest part of my day feel so easy.

I come in from the South Bay, I tried a few lots and ended up with Museum Parc. It's a little walk from SOMA to FiDi but it takes 10 minutes. It's a covered lot with great attendants and lots of trash cans to dump my Peet's Coffee cups and McMuffin-guilt-wrappers. $10/day. BUT their prices fluctuate as the lot fills up so see if you can buy enough tickets for the entire week on Monday so you can lock that price in! That's what I do. A friendly staff who always tries to find you a spot (or valets the car for me) combined with a lot that's open until 11 made Museum Parc my best choice. I'm going to start parking here on the weekends, too.

A place to park your car but attendants were super unhelpful and rude. They didn't come out of the booth to take car until we parked in the wrong spot and then scolded us for parking in wrong spot.

In before 10 and out after 3 is only $14. Otherwise the charge could be as high as $39 for the day. They offer validation only after they filled up all the stalls. What did I learn today? If you valet, you have to come back for your keys between 5-8pm.

I never thought I would write a review about a garage but dayum these guys get customer service ....and given that this is from a service where you do not EXPECT customer service, it demands a yelp! Here's why: they are always immediately available when you pull up....no waiting around in the natural lightless, asbestos-laden garage (ambiance and basic health safety drive the 4 vs. 5 stars). And they KNOW you: only after a few times did these guys learn that I get an employee discount...that I can park my car in a temporary (premium top floor) spot if I am just there to work out for 2 hours, and well gosh, they do it all with a smile - which is pretty extraordinary given these guys get no sunlight for hours at a time. Not sure why they use a "c" in their business name, but I'll take French pretentiousness in title in lieu of the very American form of service they offer. Chapeaux off to Museum Parc!

OK, so you can't really count on this place being the same price all the time. It moves like a jellyfish. Some days, it's $10, some days it's $15, some days, it's $20. Guess you just have to research which events are happening at the Moscone Center.

I've been parking my car in this garage since 2008. It is one of the less expensive places to park. Plus it is a decent walk to my work, which I get some exercise. The guys are nice and helpful when they are there. It closes at 11pm so if you are going out make sure you get your car before then or park some place else that is opening later or 24hrs. I had to take a taxi home one night after a work event. I lost track of time, I suppose I was having too much fun with the team.

How to use Guest Passes in the Museum Parc Garage Arrive after 5pm on Friday or Saturday night and depart within 24 hours. Only one pass can be used at a time - guess must exit the garage within 24 hours and then re-enter to start a session for the second pass. For example, guest arrives at 5:30pm on Friday might and departs before 5:29pm on Saturday. Guest uses one guest pass. Guest drives around the block and re-enters the garage at 5:40pm on Saturday night. Guest must exit before 5:39pm on Sunday. Sunday through Thursday - Guest passes are only valid for arrivals after 5pm and departure before 10am the next morning. Third Street entrance hours: Monday-Friday (5:30am - 11:00pm) Saturday (8:00am - 11:00pm) Sunday (8:00am - 6:00pm) Pay using a guest pass at the pay booth at lobby level or next to the attendant booth. If using a guest pass at the exits and a transaction needs to be cancelled a paper receipt will be issued and the guest passes will be lost.

Notice the print (photo added separately) that says price after 12 hours is different than the posted $10? Neither did I. Nowhere is this information (rates) available before crossing the gate and entering the pay zone, thus committing to the garage. Very disappointed. What I thought was $10 was really $38 and there's no recourse. For longer periods bypass this garage and go to the one on 3rd street between Folsom and Howard (opposite side of 3rd). That lot's rates are clearly marked and the daily max is $27.

Great price ($10 all day) of weekends is enough to say "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for not being the leaches that other garages in the area are on my wallet." It's a clean place, with stalls not cramped, corners not too tight to negotiate, well lighted and a great value.

Best prices for all day parking in downtown. In before 10AM out after 3PM for $14!! Validation at crunch is for two hours only and valet kicks in when the garage is packed, which happens if you roll in around 9 or after.

Because Museum Parc is close to my apartment and because it has such high ratings on Yelp, I recently decided to contact them regarding a 2 week parking space rental. I emailed them 3 days ago and never got a reply. I called twice yesterday and today and no one picked up the phone. It just rings and rings. Things are not looking too good if you can't get a hold of a business either by phone or by email! Guess I'll contact another garage about renting a spot.

unstable pricing This review is based on one attempt to park here on a Saturday. I drive in and see that the price for the day is $37. I park and look for someone for more than 10 minutes to see if it's really $37 or the usual $10 reported by other users. I tried the "assistance" button on the ticket machine and called their customer service. no response. Finally, I find one of the parking employees and he confirms that the price is $37 on the day because of the convention. Basically, if there are enough desparate people to pay the $37 price, that's the price. I was charged $5 for the 10 min that I parked there. Took my car out and found another open parking for $15. I guess it's a good place if it really charges you $10 but I don't like the fact that each time I want to go here, I need to gamble over the price.

So these guys changed management or something. Now it's actually done by an automated system. No more cash up front and on your way. It's punched in ahead. So that early bird special of 10 dollars is no longer appealing if you leave at 11PM. They will charge you 18 dollars if you aren't out of there by 8pm. They don't honor the commuter card anymore either. Oh well. Luckily after moving to SF I don't need this place as often.

First of all, let me say that I park in this garage regularly. The parking staff at this garage is always very professional and hard working. However, in my opinion, there are two major issues with the garage one should be aware of. First, especially during the week, the garage is packed and your car will likely get blocked or need to be valeted. It's so packed that sometimes I wonder if it violates some sort of fire code. Anyway, this can create very tight corners and unsafe driving/walking conditions but of course it's the management's choosing to allow so many cars in. Also, some of the spots are very small and hard to park in, even for compact sedans. You mix the small spots with the stacked cars and the chances of car damage is high (I've already scratched the side of my car which really sucked). Second, the 2nd level of the garage can be sort of gross. For example, I have seen food wrappers, packaging tape, a motorcycle battery, drink bottles, coffee cups and a heap of peanut shells. Today, there were wood panels and what looks like a track for vertical blinds by the wall of a spot I was next to. Management really needs to get someone to power wash/clean the garage. I am pretty sure I've seen those rodent boxes down there so having food lying around is obviously a bad idea!

When I parked today morning, I swear I saw a sign with '$13 parking rate ' but after just a about 2.5 hours of parking, they presented me a bill of $38!!! Really? When I called the operator, I was told that $13 rate was for parking after 3:00 PM. I'd be very careful parking at this place. I think there are cheaper parking places available.

...i was charged $35 dollars to park for 2 1/2 hours between 7:30 pm & 10:00 pm on a wednesday evening... ...yes, you read that correctly = $35 for 2 1/2 hours...major ripoff...the obvious signs indicated a much lower rate...

I was attending the Fancy Food Show at the Moscone Center for two days and used this parking garage. I was able to make a reservation the week before and talked to Jon the accounts manager who was very helpful and accomodating. He honored the price he quoted me on the phone. It helped that I didn't have to drive all around to find the best price or closest location. The garage was a 1/2 a block away from Moscone which was so convenient when walking in the rain. I had ample space for my SUV and the attendants were helpful and quick.

sign outside said had to be in by 8:30 for the early bird. parked and went to the elevator and saw a PIECE OF PAPER taped to the elevator door stating that early bird now ends at 7:30. not cool! wasted 15 minutes getting out and finding somewhere else. when i told the guy, he went out to get the sign, but he didn't really seem to care.

I was outraged. The lot closes at 6pm on Sunday. I did not see any obvious indication of this. Upon returning from a restaurant on President's weekend, there is no one to help. The buzzer system outside gets you nowhere. No accountability. My car was held hostage. We waited for a couple hours until a driver with a monthly pass let us in.

The people are completely inept. Every time you talk to somebody there it's their second day, because even the employees know better than to keep working for them. It took us weeks of calling to be able to rent a storage space from them (yes, they even make it difficult to give them money) and the door was completely broken on the room they gave us. We couldn't even close it. We finally got another room rented and they changed the key without telling us and without giving us a new key or even making a key available so that we can get into it, and they won't call me back. What a deal! If their parking is anything like the rest of their business I can only imagine the magic. The company running it recently changed (past 3 months-ish), or so I have been told, so any of the previous high ratings should be taken with a grain of salt.

Giant fans this is the garage you want. About 10-15 minute safe feeling walk to AT&T both before and after the game. How does $5 sound? This place is clean, has friendly attendants, is open til 11:00pm and has plenty of open spots (at least the night i was there). This place is overlooked by Giant fans as its very difficult to get to. You cannot enter from the city side because of those pesky one-way streets all over the place. You have to circle around, but by so doing you cut out a huge number of other fans who wont be bothered, hence the low price. THe entrance is on 3rd right before Folsom with you heading towards the congested downtown area. Get in the far left lane (3rd is one-way here) and turn in just before the corner. You'll be glad you did.

So disappointed by the sudden change in weekend pricing. I ended up paying $37 for 2.5 hours assuming that I would be charged the flat weekend rate of $10. You lost me. Management needs transparency regarding rates.

This is my First ever and probably last review of a garage but it's worth it. I googled five garages in walking distance of the Metreon AMC movie theatres and this one seemed to have the best reviews but the daily rates were unclear. Well I arrived on a Saturday at 9am and a very friendly guy stood inside and for all of FIVE DOLLARS I paid a flat rate until 5pm with plenty of parking to be found. No hassle, just drove away when ready to leave. Safe, good space for parking.
