Bus parking is permitted in the three available bus parking spaces behind Miller Hall for groups attending planetarium field trips. DO NOT park in the yellow-striped bus lane. Please occupy one bus space only per bus in order to maximize availability of the spaces for all users. Personal vehicles and passenger vans are not permitted to use bus parking spaces.

Groups using personal vehicles to visit the planetarium on weekdays must obtain virtual parking permits by filling out the Event Parking Request Form on the Parking and Transit Services website. Please submit one request for all vehicles in the tour group and indicate the total number of permits needed. You will receive a confirmation email from Parking and Transit Services with instructions for redeeming virtual parking permits.

Please note: John C. Wells Planetarium and its staff do not possess nor distribute parking permits. School groups, community groups, or parents accompanying a group as chaperones should request virtual parking permits using the Event Parking Request Form as outlined above.
