Parking Tips
On-street, metered parking in Old Sacramento is for short durations only (90 minutes maximum) and the limited amount of spaces generally fill up early. We recommend instead that guests utilize the public parking garages located at either end of Old Sacramento. Parking validations are available from a variety of Old Sacramento restaurants and merchants. The California State Railroad Museum does not offer parking validations.
