We encourage everyone to ride their bike, take public transit or carpool to visit us.
Car Parking: Onsite parking is available at no charge for museum visitors during your visit.
Bike Parking: We have secure, highly visible bike racks just steps from our main entrance and complimentary U-locks for your use during your visit. We also offer free ebike battery charging.
Public Transit: Use the handy 511.org website to plan your trip.
Golden Gate Ferry: Perhaps the ultimate way to visit from San Francisco is to take the ferry to Sausalito, Tiburon or Larkspur with your bike and ride the rest of the way to the museum in Fairfax, then return via the ferry. The ride is easy (especially from Larkspur, which is the closest stop) and incredibly beautiful. Click for Schedule.
Pets: We love animals too, but we cannot allow them inside the museum during regular hours. Bona-fide service animals are of course the exception. We would be glad to make your pet comfortable with water and some shade outside. Please be careful—especially when it’s hot—and don’t leave your pal in the car for extended periods of time during the heat of the day.
Directions from Northbound or Southbound Hwy 101 or from Hwy 580 from the East Bay:
(We are a 45 minute drive North across the Golden Gate Bridge from downtown San Francisco, about 21 miles)
Set your GPS or map app to navigate to: 1966 Sir Francis Drake Blvd., Fairfax, CA 94930
For those without a GPS:
• Head towards San Rafael, CA.
• Take the main Downtown San Rafael exit.
• Turn West onto 3rd St. (one-way street) towards Pt. Reyes National Seashore
• Stay on 3rd St. as it changes names into 2nd, 4th and finally Red Hill Ave. (you’re still on the same road!)
• At 2.5 miles from the San Rafael exit, stay in the right lane as you approach a very large 4-way intersection called “The Hub” in the town of San Anselmo. At the intersection, turn right onto Sir Francis Drake Blvd. (Note: While in “The Hub” intersection, marvel at the majestic view of Mt. Tamalpais to the South!)
• Stay heading West towards Fairfax on Sir Francis Drake Blvd for 1.5 miles further and turn right at the stop light onto Claus Drive in Fairfax. You will see the museum at this point. We are on the corner of Claus Drive and Sir Francis Drake Blvd. Pull into our parking lot—we have free parking for museum visitors. You have arrived!
Fairfax is a wonderful town to explore. Visit our About Fairfax page for more information and learn why we chose Fairfax for the museum. There are a great many sights, sounds, tales, trails and ales to enjoy during your visit!
