Museum admission is $12 adults, $10 for students and seniors, $8 for youth 3-18. Check the website for special free programs, June 21 free evening admission, and weekly hours when the museum is free to Massachusetts residents.

Go to the museum's website under Plan your visit for info on reserving parking next door in the underground garage-- but it's still cc 200 yards away from our historic, but accessible building. Coming in a wheelchair works, but if you use a walker or cane, there is some unavoidable distance. Hope you can manage!

They have a coat space, but it's not attended, or locked. Many visitors spend just a couple hours to wander through just the Harvard Museum of Natural History, but the Peabody Museum is included in your same ticket, and so depending on your knowledge and interest, you could spend longer..also the two smaller HMSC museums are nearby, and free. Most people feel it's worth the price of admission just to see the Blaschkas' masterpieces, the famed Glass Flowers and Sea Creatures in Glass.

That depends on whether you just want to enjoy the looks of the flowers or whether you are actually interested in the plants and their descriptions. If the former, I would say 15 minutes are enough; otherwise, an hour or more.

Short answer..I-95 north. Best answer, try Google Maps, MapQuest, etc.
