Local Eateries and Activities

Here is a list of recommended local restaurants and activities.

March 1 | Li Ka Shing Learning and Knowledge Center (LKSC)

Venue Address

291 Campus Drive, Stanford, CA 94305

We recommend taking public transportation (i.e., free Stanford shuttle) or using a ride-sharing service like Uber or Lyft to Stanford University if possible, as parking can be expensive and somewhat inconvenient. Below are instructions for different ways to get to campus from the designated hotels, including detailed shuttle instructions and parking instructions if you choose to drive.

Visitor parking is available near the LKSC. The closest parking lots to the LKSC are the LKSC lot (Zone 7215), the Stock Farm lot (Zone 7217) and the Via Ortega Garage (Zone 7202). We recommend parking at the Stock Farm lot, as that has the most parking spaces. View map 

To park on-campus, you will need to purchase a parking permit through ParkMobile on the day of the event. See instructions below.  Please allow 15-30 minutes to find parking and walk to the building.
