BY CAR:

From I-90 (Massachusetts Turnpike): Get off at Cambridge (exit 18). Turn left immediately onto Soldiers Field Road (west). Take Harvard Square exit, bear right across Anderson Bridge, and drive straight into Harvard Square. You'll pass "Out of Town News" on your right, then merge with Massachusetts Avenue. Keep Harvard Yard on your right. Stay to the right at the fork, and go into the underpass. Once you emerge from the tunnerl, turn left onto Kirkland Street. Kirkland ends at the Science Center.

Parking:

There is no public parking on the lot at the Science Ceter, and meters are very scarce on the adjacent streets (Kirkland St. and Oxford St.

The closest public lots are:

Church Street Lot - the Church Street lot is the parking area closest to Harvard Yard. From John F. Kennedy Street, go straight through the traffic lights at Memorial Drive, Eliot Street, and Mount Auburn Street. The next traffic light will put you in the center of HarvardSquare, facing a newsstand called "Nini's Corner." Take a sharp left at "Nini's Corner," then bear right immediately onto Brattle Street. Take the first right onto Church Street. The parking lot is halfway up the street on your left.
