\nThe museum\u2019s parking lot was completely full but they offered overflow parking directly across Central Ave in the parking structure. The structure serves the Uptown Phoenix\u2019s Arts District building, 1636 N. Central Avenue, which houses the offices of the Arizona Opera Company. It was free to park there, the attendant just asked that we park on level 3 or 4 and exit to Palm (since the other exits were not open). There were even two gentleman, maybe officers, controlling the lights and stopping traffic so we could cross Central safely. I was worried there would be no parking but was pleasantly surprised to find the overflow lot.\u00a0 (Thanks, Nanci!)<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bargainbeliever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/childrens_museum_of_phoenix.png\" "\\"childrens_museum_of_phoenix\\"")
