Located in downtown San Jose, Discovery Meadow sits adjacent to the Children’s Discovery Museum and is easy to reach from neighborhoods across the city.

• Parking: Limited on-site parking; nearby public garages and street parking are available. Event organizers often recommend using nearby city lots or garages.
• Public Transit: Accessible via VTA Light Rail — the Children’s Discovery Museum station is nearby — and several bus routes serve the area.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup/dropoff zones are typically set up along Woz Way or nearby streets during large events.

Arrival Recommendations

Give yourself 60–90 minutes before showtime for Discovery Meadow events, especially for festivals and concerts. Early arrival helps you find parking in nearby garages, breeze through entry, and pick your preferred spot on the lawn. If your Discovery Meadow tickets are mobile, download them ahead of time to avoid delays at the gate.

This is an outdoor venue, so plan for the weather. San Jose is generally mild, but summer days can run hot and winter can bring rain. Pack sunscreen and water for daytime shows, and layer up for chilly evenings. For rainy forecasts, check your event’s policies on umbrellas and wet-weather gear before you go.

The terrain is flat, but expect some walking from garages or transit stops to the park. If you’re using VTA Light Rail, the Children’s Discovery Museum station puts you conveniently close. For rideshare, look for designated pickup zones on or near Woz Way after the event to simplify your exit.

Venue Navigation

Discovery Meadow’s open layout makes it straightforward to navigate — most events feature a temporary stage, large open lawn, and clearly marked entry points. Concessions are typically offered through food trucks and pop-up vendors, with portable restrooms placed around the perimeter for easy access.

You’ll also find merchandise stands during festivals and special events, and the adjacent Children’s Discovery Museum makes an easy landmark if you’re meeting friends. The world’s largest Monopoly board is a signature feature and a fun photo spot before the show. Comfortable footwear is a smart choice, especially if you plan to stand on the grass or walk from downtown garages.

Finally, keep an eye on Discovery Meadow upcoming events if you’re building a weekend itinerary. With festivals, concerts, and community gatherings across the calendar, you can often pair an evening show with daytime museum visits or downtown dining for a full San Jose experience.
