Location of UNC Charlotte
UNC Charlotte is located in northeast Charlotte (referred to as " the University area"). Campus can be reached by taking I-485, I-85, Hwy 29, or Hwy 49, depending on your location and familiarity with the area. See directions below for the simplest route. If you are using a GPS or internet mapping, be aware that the mailing address will take you to the main entrance of the campus, not to the greenhouse, specifically. (there are no number addresses on the campus) Once at the main campus entrance - look carefully to follow signs to the greenhouse and gardens. Location of Botanical Gardens on campus via I-85: Off I-85, take exit 46 east, Mallard Creek Church Rd. (Off 85 South that's a left, off 85 North that's a right). At the third stoplight (about 1.5 mi) turn RIGHT on to Mary Alexander Rd. You will enter campus, and at the four-way stop, continue straight. The next road to the RIGHT (only) is Michael Craver Rd. Turn right onto Craver & take a quick right into the parking area.
via I-485: Take exit 32 (Hwy. 29) off I-485. Head west on hwy. 29, Tryon St. (off I-485 North, that's a left, off I-485 South, its a right.) The next main intersection past 485 is at Mallard Creek Church Rd. Take a LEFT onto Mallard Creek Church Rd. At the next stoplight, turn RIGHT onto Mary Alexander Rd.

Parking Botanical Gardens Visitor parking is located across Craver Rd. from the greenhouse.
These permits are required Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm.
Permits are not required after 5 pm or on the weekend.
If the visitor spaces are full, you have a couple of other parking options, depending on when you are visiting. If you are visiting on a Saturday or Sunday, you may park in any parking space on campus that is not restricted by an individual sign (like, “reserved 24-hrs”, for instance). If you are visiting Monday through Friday, your additional parking options are metered spaces (there are a few down Craver Rd. on right), or the Visitor section of the East Parking Deck (adjacent to traffic circle, Cato Hall, and the edge of the Van Landingham Glen).
