Buses between Gent-Sint-Pieters and Gent-Dampoort stations stop at Heuvelpoort, a short walk from the MSK, and Gent-Sint-Pieters station is within walking distance too. Street parking near the museum is scarce and paid, so drivers can leave the car at a free park-and-ride outside the centre and continue by tram or bus. With a Museumpas, entry is free, and the pass can be bought at the front desk. The trade-off for families is snacks: no food or drink is allowed in the galleries, so breaks happen in the breastfeeding area by the cloakroom, the museum brasserie or the park.
