PARKING:
Parking can be difficult on the MSU campus on weekdays. It takes some advance planning to guarantee a parking spot!!! And you will need coins or cash unless buying a permit.
Option #1 - Close but not many spaces
There is **no** parking in the lot 41 in front of the planetarium before 6 pm. That lot is for faculty and staff only until that time.
Option #2 - Next closest, but need luck or passes
Visitor parking is available in Shaw Ramp 1. There area few metered spots there and they may fill up quickly as well.
To park in the non-metered spots in Ramp 1 you will need a visitor's pass which can be purchased at the DPPS office 24/7. The 2 hour passes are $1.50. They are located at 1120 Red Cedar Rd, East Lansing, MI 48824. You can buy several passes at once to use for the entire year. See map: http://maps.msu.edu/interactive/index.php?location=ps
Option #3 - Reliable but will be a bit of a walk
You can park in Ramp 3 by the Wharton center for $0.40 per half hour. When exiting the lot, a booth attendant will accept cash payment for the time parked. ** Credit/debit card payments are not accepted.**
