Parking

Parking is usually difficult to find near curtain time. Please plan to arrive in Berkeley 30-40 minutes prior to an event to ensure that you are in your seat before the curtain rises.

Parking may be particularly difficult on home game days. Please consult the Cal Athletics website for more information and plan accordingly. We strongly advise taking public transportation to events on campus. The downtown Berkeley BART station is a 10-minute walk to Zellerbach Hall and the Ashby BART station is 10-15 minutes away by taxi or bus. For more information, please see helpful transportation phone numbers portion of the Directions page.
