PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION – METRO AND PARKING
Public Transportation is the best option for reaching National Mall and Memorial Park sites easily. Parking is available along Ohio Drive, SW between the Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson Memorials. Handicap parking located on Daniel French Dr. & on South side of Lincoln Memorial. Best drop-off point is Lincoln Memorial Circle. Parking around the Lincoln Memorial is extremely limited. Parking meters are restricted to three hours maximum. Carpooling and Metro Transit strongly encouraged. Closest Metro station is Foggy Bottom (Blue-Orange-Silver). There is only one exit at Foggy Bottom on 23rd Street. From the metro, make an immediate right turn onto 23rd Street, and follow down to the memorial. PLEASE BE SURE YOU LEAVE AMPLE TIME FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. Our site is about a 15-20-minute walk depending on your speed from the Metro station.
