The Mission is located in the middle of a residential neighborhood so there is not a lot nearby. Note that the Mission is on top of a hill so it would be an uphill walk from most other locations.

​

There is free parking in the lot in front of the Mission on Laguna Street. The closest bus stop is at State Street and Pueblo or State Street and Los Olivos, about a half mile downhill from the Mission.

​

There are not any places to get food nearby, other than the limited snack options in the gift shop and a coffee truck out front most days. You can search for restaurants on an app or just head to the downtown area a couple miles away.

​

If you are coming from out of town, the closest hotels are about a mile away.
