FAQ
How much is parking? Where can I park?
Addresses to the two best visitor parking lots are:
- MI Historical Center Lot - 702 West Kalamazoo, Lansing
- Hall of Justice Lot - 794 West Allegan St, Lansing
Rate is $5/vehicle either place.
Visitor parking at the Michigan Library and Historical Center is located south of the building, with a $5 daily rate on weekdays. Visitors should use the Kalamazoo Street entrance, turning onto the circle drive to enter the visitor parking lot. Additional public parking is available north of the building across Allegan Street (east of the Hall of Justice and Vietnam Veteran's Memorial).
Please NOTE: the north entrance of the Michigan Library and Historical Center building is not currently open to the public, so to enter the Historical Center from the Allegan Street lot requires walking around to the south side main entrance. Cross Allegan at the crosswalk on the corner of Allegan and Butler, walk south on Butler one block, then head east on the sidewalke to enter the building.
For a map and additional information, see the Capitol Complex Public Parking Options document.
