GETTING HERE

By Car

Our parking lot is located off of Ogden Avenue. From Burrard St., turn onto Cornwall (right if coming from the bridge; otherwise left). Take the first right onto Chestnut. Stay on Chestnut until the street curves to the left. Instead of taking the turn, drive straight into our parking lot.

By Bus

The #2 bus from downtown stops on Cornwall near Cypress. When you exit the bus, take Cypress St. toward the water. At the end of the street you can take the path through the park to get into the museum from the rear entrance.

By Boat

The False Creek Ferries stops at the Vancouver Maritime Museum. When you disembark from the ferry, you can follow the path to the museum.
