Parking

Here you’ll find info, links and further reading to help you get ready for the theater! Scroll down for specific info about your event.

Parking: If you need accessible parking, email us or add a note to your order to reserve a spot in front of our glass doors at 529 S. Second St. We will accommodate as many as possible. 

For everyone else, there are many lots downtown (street spots can be hard to find). Most ParkSJ garages offer 90 minutes of free parking, and ParkSJ.org is a great resource. The closest city lot is the First Street and I-280 Lot, under the freeway. Parking there is limited, but free on weekends and after 6 p.m. on weekdays. 

Exciting note: We’re thrilled to be able to offer free gated parking on Sunday, Feb. 8! This is in the secure lot on Second Street under I-280. Enter to your left as you head south on Second past the theater. The gate will open at 1:20 p.m., close at 2 p.m., and then reopen until 40 minutes after the show.

Public transit: For the VTA light rail, take the Blue Line or Green Line to the Convention Center station, an at-grade station with the platform in the median of West San Carlos Street, between Almaden and Market.

Or, choose the Frequent Bus, line 66 or 68, or the Rapid Bus (with limited stop services), line 568. There’s a bus stop at Second and William. Learn more about all options at the VTA’s Downtown Transit Guide, or check out the full system map or downtown map.
