Parking De Ontdekfabriek, Eindhoven

If you’re searching for parking De Ontdekfabriek (Torenallee 22, Strijp-S), focus on options that let you arrive, park, and leave without stress—especially when families visit during busy opening times.

Book a private parking spot near De Ontdekfabriek with Mobypark

Street parking and public garages can be unpredictable on event days. With Mobypark, you can pre-book bookable private parking spots that are owned by places that don’t use them every day (think hotel parking, office building spaces, private driveways, and unused garage areas). Use the search bar at the top to choose your dates, then compare the available spots for a calmer arrival than chasing a free meter space.

Choose the nearby public garages behind a barrier (Strijp-S)

The most straightforward public option around De Ontdekfabriek is parking on Strijp-S in a garage/behind a barrier—officially listed as costing about €3.50 per hour (with payment after you enter). Two commonly mentioned garages in this area are “Om de Hoek” and “Langs het Spoor”, both around 100 meters away.

If you plan a longer stay, De Ontdekfabriek also sells full-day exit parking cards for Strijp-S garages/behind barriers, so you can avoid recalculating hourly parking. When you want certainty instead of time-guessing, comparing this with a pre-booked Mobypark spot can be a simpler approach—especially on busy family days.

Street parking in Strijp-S: use the meter or the parking app (code 5189)

Street parking in the Strijp-S area is possible, either by paying at the parking meter or via a parking app using area code 5189. Typical on-street pricing starts relatively low (for example, around €2.25 for the first hour) and then increases per hour (for example, around €4.50 per hour) with no clear maximum day rate.

Because street availability can change quickly, it’s often easier to compare street parking versus a guaranteed private alternative on Mobypark—so you don’t lose time driving around for a free spot close to Torenallee.

Consider P+R Meerhoven for cheaper parking (with a short bus transfer)

If you want a lower-cost arrival, De Ontdekfabriek points visitors to P+R Meerhoven: with the fast bus connections (401, 402, 403), you can reach the Strijp-S stop near the venue in about 10 minutes. This can be a good fit if you’re okay with a short transfer and walking the last part.

On the other hand, if you’d rather park and go straight to the entrance, Mobypark can help you skip the P+R/bus step by reserving a private spot in advance.

Arrival tips that match the venue directions

• Use the Strijp-S access points the venue lists (for navigation, look for Glaslaan 2, Schootsestraat 2, or Beukenlaan).
• For the garage/behind-barrier route, follow the approach described for the area around the bus lane (right at the bus lane between the white buildings).
• If you’re relying on paid public options, remember the venue’s parking exit cards are intended for full-day parking, so confirm your expected parking duration before you commit.
