On Ninth Street, just North of Folsom [See Map].

Are you looking for all the women at the Folsom? Head over to Venus' Playground, the women's and genderqueer area of the fair, and you'll know you've come home. Whether you're looking to cruise, scouting out a place to play, wanting meet other women interested in leather, hoping to pick up some BDSM skills, or just looking for a chair and a place to meet up with your friends, Venus' Playground is where you'll want to spend the day.

Hang out with all of your friends on Venus' Patio, a space where attendees of all genders can come hang out adjacent to the women's area. When you're ready to come inside, we welcome anyone who identifies as a woman or genderqueer in the past, present or future, to come on into Venus' Playground . Dress for comfort, or dress to impress: the dress code includes dresses or jeans, sports boots or stilettos, formal leather or fetishwear, corsets or costumes, uniforms or underwear.
