Discovery Meadow: San Jose's Playful Heart

Getting There

• Public Transport

  The VTA Light Rail is a convenient option. Take the Alum Rock-Santa Teresa line to the Children's Discovery Museum Station, which is directly adjacent to Discovery Meadow. Several County Transit bus lines also stop on Almaden Boulevard, a short walk from the park. A single VTA light rail or bus fare costs $2.50.

• Walking

  Discovery Meadow is easily accessible on foot from many downtown San Jose locations. From the San Jose Convention Center, walk south on Almaden Boulevard towards Woz Way. The park will be on your left, adjacent to the Children's Discovery Museum. From Plaza de Cesar Chavez, walk east on San Carlos Street, crossing Almaden Boulevard. Discovery Meadow will be on your right.

• Driving

  If driving, be aware that Discovery Meadow does not have its own dedicated parking lot. However, there are several public and privately-owned parking lots in the vicinity. Public parking is available on Woz Way, Auzerais Street, and Almaden Boulevard. Parking rates typically start at $7.00, but can increase to $25 during high-demand events. Using the code FAN25 in the Woz/87 lot during such events can secure the normal $7 rate.

• Taxi/Ride-Share

  Taxis and ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft provide a convenient way to reach Discovery Meadow. A short ride from Diridon Station or other downtown locations will typically cost between $10 and $15, depending on traffic and distance.
