After a great day at the American Museum of Natural History, I paid for parking and had both a receipt and proof of the charge on my phone. When I tried to leave, the attendants and the on-duty manager insisted I hadn’t paid — even after I showed clear evidence of the transaction. They refused to acknowledge it and kept demanding I pay again.
This wasn’t a misunderstanding — it felt like a coordinated hustle. Judging by how confidently they pushed it, I’m sure other customers have been pressured into double-paying too. Luckily, my bank stepped in and refunded me, but this kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable.
SP+ needs to audit this location, review the security footage, and take immediate action against whoever is running these shady practices. This is not just poor service — it’s bordering on fraud.
I’ll also be reporting this incident to the Better Business Bureau and the American Museum of Natural History administration so they’re aware of what’s going on at this garage. Visitors deserve honesty, not harassment.
Avoid this location at all costs until SP+ replaces the staff and restores integrity to their operation.

We parked here to visit time square. It was a good experience. Got our car back quickly when we got there and were ready to leave.

It was affordable! We paid $40 on a Sunday for 3 hours. A lot of parking garages in the area charge about $50-60 for that amount of time. It’s attached to the American Museum of Natural History, but you have to exit the garage completely to enter the museum. It’s a short walk, maybe 2 minutes. It’s a self park garage. You get a ticket when you enter and you just have to pay that ticket at a machine inside the garage when you’re ready to leave. There are pay stations on every floor.
SP+ Parking is located at 54 W 81st Street, between Central Park West and Columbus Ave, in New York, NY 10024.
