Visitors traveling by car can reach Legion of Honor via the main streets surrounding Lincoln Park. The museum offers nearby parking facilities, including a designated parking lot adjacent to the museum grounds.
While parking is available, it is limited and may fill up during peak times or special events, so early arrival is recommended. Additionally, street parking is available in the surrounding neighborhood, subject to San Francisco’s standard parking regulations and meter fees.
Rates for parking meters generally range between $2 to $6 per hour, varying by location and time of day. There is no on-site parking fee specifically set by the Legion of Honor, but visitors should be prepared for standard city parking costs.

Visitors can use the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (Muni) buses that stop near 34th Avenue and Clement Street, just a short walk from the facility. Routes 1, 18, and 29 serve the area near Lincoln Park.
Using public transit not only helps avoid parking challenges but also connects smoothly with other city attractions, including the nearby de Young museum in Golden Gate Park.

For active visitors, bicycling or walking to the Legion of Honor is a viable option, especially from nearby neighborhoods. The area offers bike lanes and paths suitable for cyclists, with bike racks available near the museum entrance to secure bicycles during your visit.
