May 15-September 15, 2025: Parking downtown St. Joseph is PAID in all parking spots and lots on the west side of Main Street (our “side”) but free parking across Main Street (on the east side). You can find out which paid lots are all day, which paid lots are 3-hour and where to park on the east side of Main Street for free HERE. Curious Kids’ Museum does not own any lots around CKM or at the Silver Beach Center, where Curious Kids’ Discovery Zone is located, and therefore have no control over parking charges.
