How to Get to MOTA Day
There are many ways to get to MOTA Day!
DRIVE YOURSELF
The MOTA museums are conveniently located off the 210 and 110 freeways in Pasadena and Los Angeles.
Heritage Square is located just north of downtown off of the Pasadena (110) at the Avenue 43 exit; Gamble House and Pasadena Museum of History are located off of the Ventura (134) freeway on either side of Orange Grove, north of Walnut Avenue. The other museums are located between these two points.
Parking will be available on the surrounding streets around each museum.; there is limited parking at the Los Angeles Police Museum’s parking lot. Please note parking at Heritage Square: There is NO PARKING ON HOMER STREET near Heritage Square. Walkers can use front entrance of Heritage Square, but there is no parking on Homer or the adjacent dirt lot. Heritage Square has a back gate at 3515 Pasadena Avenue and visitors can park nearby, or use ride share to enter the museum from there.
TAKE THE GOLD LINE
You can easily reach MOTA Day by taking the Gold Line and exiting the train at the Heritage Square stop.
WALK THE MUSEUMS
Our southern Highland Park museums — Heritage Square and Lummis Home — are within walking distance of each other. Download our Highland Park walking map for directions.
