Plan your visit

Use the address on the specific business or event listing rather than treating 101 District Square as universal. Waterfront Metro and a free Southwest Shuttle serve the neighborhood. Driving is discouraged during major events; three underground garages operate around the clock but can be expensive and fill quickly.

Accessibility

The Wharf was built to ADA accessibility guidelines with ramps and elevators at buildings and exterior locations, paver walkways beside cobblestones, accessible public restrooms, and accessible spaces in all garages. Contact the specific venue for seating, hearing, sensory, service-animal, and event accommodations.
