Price

Free! Can’t beat that.

Date and Time

Saturday November 3rd and Sunday November 4th, 9am to 6 pm

BART

Hearst Mining is about a 15 minute walk from the downtown Berkeley BART station.

Drop Offs

You can drive up to the front of Heart Memorial by coming in the East Gate, located on Gayley Rd. Unfortunately, all the parking in that immediate area is reserved for Nobel Prize winners.

Parking

Parking can be a challenge around campus. BadCamp happens on the weekend, so (on Sunday) there will be hourly parking available in the Lower Hearst Garage on the corner of Hearst Avenue and Scenic Avenue. For other lots and rates, go to: http://pt.berkeley.edu/parking/public-visitors/index.html.

Parking will be especially difficult on Saturday, because it is a Cal Football home game, and most of the campus parking lots are reserved (so no parking in the Hearst Garage on Saturday). Here is a list of the open lots in the area, from: http://pt.berkeley.edu/parking/special_events/football.html
