World-class science + community climate action with a dash of music, food, games, crafts, and more.
Learn about the science happening to understand the impacts of climate change on the oceans and our local coastal climate. Connect with local community organizations working to prepare our community for life in a changing climate.
This is a science-meets-community-actio
Parking & Transportation
Bike Santa Cruz County will provide a Bike Valet service, so we encourage you to ride your bikes! If you plan to drive, there are several medium-sized parking lots on the Coastal Science Campus with free parking. If those parking lots fill up, there is additional street parking along Delaware Ave. You will walk for a few minutes, but the walk takes you through a Natural Reserve, so we think you’ll enjoy the beautiful stroll as you approach the Climate Action Market.
For ADA access, parking attendants will point you to reserved parking or drop-off/pick-up locations.
