The easiest way from downtown Vancouver to the Museum of Anthropology at UBC is the 99 B-Line bus to the UBC campus, then a short walk or a connecting bus. A taxi takes you to the museum door.
The 99 B-Line to UBC Exchange
The westbound 99 B-Line ends at the UBC bus loop in the centre of campus. The museum says the loop is about a 7 minute walk from its doors, heading northwest. If you would rather not walk, the 68 Wesbrook Village bus runs from the exchange, and you get off at NW Marine Drive and West Mall.
Plan the first leg in the TransLink trip planner. It shows live departures from the stop nearest your hotel or office, and it covers fares, which depend on the time and the card you use.
Parking on campus
Parking at UBC is plentiful but not free. The Rose Garden Parkade is the one closest to the museum. UBC publishes a parkade map with current rates and available space, so check it before a weekend visit.
Taxi or rideshare from downtown
If you carry luggage, travel as a group or want to arrive without a transfer, a cab is the most direct option. The taxi fare estimator gives a rough fare, and the Uber estimate calculator does the same for rideshare. For local companies and a ride back, see the Vancouver taxi page.
Cycling to Point Grey
Cycling from downtown to the campus is a real ride, mostly west across the city, and best suited to people used to it. Pick the route with a map app set to cycling, since bike routes and closures change. Bring a lock for the museum’s racks if you plan to stay a while.
Check the museum’s own page for hours and admission before you set out. Opening days shift through the year, and a quick look saves a wasted trip.
