From New York City, take the NJ Transit #126 bus from Port Authority (Gate 213) to Hoboken. Get off at 14th & Washington Streets and walk east to Hudson St. and one block south to 1301 Hudson. The fare from NY is $3.50 (pre-purchased ticket required; ticket-dispensing machines are located near the entrance to Gate 213). The local bus fare from the PATH station is $1.60 (cash accepted, exact fare required) to ride up Washington Street to 13th Street, at the YMCA building. Walk one block east to the Museum.

Arriving by PATH

From New York City, the PATH train stops along Avenue of the Americas from 33rd St. to 9th St., and Christopher St. at Hudson St., and will bring you to NJ Transit’s Hoboken Terminal. You’ll arrive at the south end of town. To get from the PATH to the Museum, take either Washington Street bus (#126 or #89) to 13th St, then head east one block. The Museum is located in the old Shipyard Machine Shop at 13th Street & Hudson Street. Or, take a stroll; it only takes about 20 – 30 minutes to walk up the Hoboken waterfront, or historic residential Hudson Street, which is lined with some of Hoboken’s grandest homes, or “The Avenue,” aka Washington Street, lined with shops and restaurants.

Arriving by Ferry

NY Waterway offers service to both Hoboken North and Hoboken South from terminals at New York’s Hudson River piers at 39th Street and Brookfield Place. From the Hoboken North stop, walk one block west along 14th Street to Shipyard Lane, and a block south to the Museum. The Hoboken South stop brings you to NJ Transit’s Hoboken Terminal. See PATH directions to get from the terminal to the Museum. Click here to view ferry schedules.

Parking

Several parking lots are located near the Museum. The Littleman Parking-Independence Garage (Shipyard Lane, at 12th St.) offers 3 hours of free parking with Museum validation (normal rates apply after that; call ahead — holidays and special events may affect availability).

On-street parking is extremely limited. Commercial blocks are controlled by multi-space meters, which accept cash or credit card and allow parking for up to 2 or 4 hours, depending on the location. Meters are in effect 9 am – 9 pm Monday – Saturday. On Sundays, metered spaces are free. Residential streets are also metered, allowing up to four hours of parking per day. Beware of signage, as the city enforces resident-only parking on the north or west side of the street (as indicated by dark green “residents-only” signage). On the south and east sides of residential streets, visitors may park for up to 4 hours per day, but beware of street-sweeping signage, fire hydrants and red-painted curbs.
