Travel Information
Arriving by Air
Both San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and San Jose Airport (SJC) are roughly the same distance from Stanford and Fremont. In our experience, SFO tends to have cheaper flights, but SJC is smaller and easier to get around.
Parking
For Stanford Memorial Church, parking in the Oval at the top of Palm Drive is free on weekends. Please allow ample time (at least 30 minutes) to park and walk to the church.
Alternatively, you can park along Santa Teresa Street or in the parking lot behind Tresidder Union. Again, please allow ample time (at least 30 minutes) to park and walk to the church.
For Ardenwood Historic Farm, there is plenty of parking by the entrance.
Accommodation
We have reserved a block of rooms at Aloft Silicon Valley in Newark. It is closer to Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont, but Stanford Memorial Church is just over the Dumbarton Bridge.
