Good to know

Questions we hear most — and how to reach us.

Is Pearl free to visit?
Yes. The plazas, the river walk, the fountains, and nearly every event are free and open to the public. You only pay for what you eat, drink, or buy.
Is it good for kids?
Wonderfully. The splash fountains, open lawns, and free movie and music nights make Pearl one of the most family-friendly spots in the city. Most restaurants have high chairs and kids' menus, and the paths are stroller-friendly.
Can I bring my dog?
Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome throughout the outdoor areas, the market, and many patios. Bring water on hot days — there are bowls around the plaza.
Where do I park?
There are two free parking garages on site plus surface lots. On busy market mornings, arrive early or use rideshare drop-off along Pearl Parkway.
How do I get there on the River Walk?
Pearl sits at the north end of the Museum Reach. You can stroll or bike the river path from downtown, or take a river barge to the Pearl landing.
How can I host an event or ask a question?
For private events, press, or general questions, reach the Pearl team at hello@atpearl.example or 210-000-0000. We'd love to help you plan.
