  • There are four main roads headed to Bonifacio Global City in Taguig that can be taken from different locations around the urbanized district where The Mind Museum is located to its western part. These roads are: Lawton Ave, McKinley Road, Kalayaan Ave, and C-5.

    The Mind Museum in Bonifacio Global City Taguig
    Before I give you different driving directions to the Philippines' first world class science museum via each of these main artillery roads, I will first show you where to park your car nearer to its location. There are two parking areas adjacent to The Mind Museum. First is across 30th St (north of The Mind Museum), second is across 28th St (south of The Mind Museum). These are the two roads that bounded The Mind Museum to its north and south sides, respectively. See the map below to familiarize yourself with the parking areas' locations and the flow of traffic around The Mind Museum. Please observe the one way traffic along 3rd Ave and Rizal Dr. You can view two more location maps of The Mind Museum at the end of this post. For Commute Directions, go to The Mind Museum Commuters' Guide.

    As you can see in this map, you can drive around The Mind Museum counter clockwise. Rizal Dr and 3rd Ave are one-way while 28th and 30th streets are two-way. So, you can always park your car after dropping off your companions by crossing either 30th Street or 28th St.

    How To Get To The Mind Museum By Car




    Depending on your location, take any of these roads:

    Lawton Avenue - the road that continues Sales Road across Osmena Highway aka SLEX. This is the raod to take to The Mind Museum from Newport City, Resort World Manila, NAIA 1-2-3, Andrews Ave, Baclaran, Airport Road, Aseana City, Solaire Resort & Casino, SM Mall of Asia, Tramo, NAIA Road, Duty Free Philippines and other areas nearby.

    Take Andrews Ave all the way past NAIA 3 and Newport City until it turns left and road name becomes Sales Rd.

    Stay to the middle of Sales Road, avoid Skyway ramp, and cross SLEX via Sales Bridge. After the bridge, the road becomes Lawton Ave.

    Once in Lawton Ave, stay there and drive all the way until you reach the gateway of BGC where tall building of Fifth Avenue Place condominium is located. Road name becomes 5th Avenue and it widens with center island.

    You can drop off your passengers first before heading to the parking lot. Drop off point of The Mind Museum is just few meters after you turn right onto 3rd Ave from 28th St.

    From the southbound lane of C-5, cross Kalayaan Ave, and turn right onto 32nd St. From northbound lane of C-5, which is coming from Alabang and SLEX, Skyway and Osmena Highway, take the rightmost lane of C-5 that leads to 26th St.

    Turn left onto the bridge that crosses C-5 toward 26th St. In 26th St, stay to the middle, drive all the way, cross 5th Ave and turn right onto the next street which is 4th Ave. Drive past 27th St then turn left on 28th St that leads to The Mind Museum.

    4. @ mb. First you take C-5 from SLEX northbound. Just drive under the road sign that reads "Fort Bonifacio" or "Taguig". You get to pass through the exit toll of Carlos P Garcia Ave (C-5). Now in C-5, stay to the middle until you drive past Libingan Ng Mga Bayani and Heritage Memorial Park which are to your left. Watch for Upper McKinley Road which is wide street perpendicular to the left of C-5 opposite Shell and Jollibee which are to your right. Up ahead take the service road, rightmost lane of C-5 that goes directly to 26th Street of Bonifacio Global City. Upon approach, the service road goes uphill towards the bridge that crosses C-5. Take the leftmost lane of the service road and turn left onto the bridge, that's 26th Street. Hope my direction helps you.

    7. Still, despite the drawback shown, the numerous good characteristics of the city is sufficient enough to keep it as the top city within the metro.
