Getting to Foothill College
The Physics Show is held in Smithwick Theater on our main campus in Los Altos Hills (12345 El Monte Road, just off Highway 280). Additional maps/information can be found on the Foothill College Website.
Parking
Parking is included in your ticket price (if you park in Lot 1). As you enter the campus, make your first right turn into Parking Lot 1. If you miss that turn, make your second right into Parking Lot 1.
Smithwick Theater
The Physics Show is held in Smithwick Theater, Room 1000. From Parking Lot 1: at the traffic light on the loop road, use the crosswalk and walk up the long flight of stairs. Smithwick Theater will be on your left at the top of the stairs. Restrooms are located on either side of the theatre.
Wheelchair Access
There is a long flight of stairs from Parking Lot 1 to the theater. If you have a passenger that will require special access, here is the best course of action:
Make a left off the loop road at the first bus stop (follow the sign that says "Buses Only").
Make a sharp left at the bookstore receiving dock and up the steep driveway until you get to the top.
Drop your passenger off—this is the closest you can get a car to the theater.
Park your car in Lot 1.
If the driver requires no stair access, park in Parking Lot 8. Parking Lot 8 is close, but requires two elevators to get to the theater.
With a DMV issued placard for "handicapped" parking you may park in any lot on campus without a permit.
See you at The Physics Show!
