USS Pampanito Museum and Memorial

The USS Pampanito Museum and Memorial at Pier 45 is a restored World War II submarine and National Historic Landmark that lets visitors step inside an authentic combat vessel and experience life at sea in the 1940s. Located in the busy Fishermans Wharf neighborhood, it sits among popular waterfront attractions, so traffic in the area is often heavy and streets can be congested, especially on weekends and holidays.

Because the wharf is a compact, pedestrianfocused area with limited curb space, street parking is typically metered, time restricted, and difficult to find, with strict enforcement of local parking rules. Reserving parking near USS Pampanito Museum and Memorial in advance helps avoid circling crowded blocks and makes it easier to arrive on time for tours or group visits, whether you are in the city for sightseeing or business. Visitors should always confirm current parking regulations, meter hours, and rates with official and uptodate city or attraction resources before driving in.
