Walking
If you are starting from Meskel Square, walk towards the Ethiopian National Museum, which is located to the northeast. From there, head east on Ras Mekonnen Street until you reach the intersection with Bole Road. Continue walking straight; you will eventually pass the Addis Ababa University on your left. After about 15 minutes of walking, you will come to a large intersection. Cross the road carefully, and you should see signs for the Ethiopian Science Museum. Follow the signs to your left until you reach the museum located at 15/16 Kirkos.
Public Transport (Minibus)
Find a minibus heading towards the Bole area. You can catch one from Meskel Square or any major bus stop. Ask the conductor to drop you off at the Kirkos area. Once you get off, head towards the Kirkos area and look for directional signs for the Ethiopian Science Museum. It should be a short walk from the bus stop. The total journey should take about 30 minutes, depending on traffic.

You can take a Bajaj (three-wheeled taxi) from any location in Addis Ababa. Simply inform the driver to take you to the Ethiopian Science Museum at 15/16 Kirkos. The ride should take approximately 20 minutes, depending on traffic. Ensure you agree on the fare beforehand, as it may vary.
