Getting There
Metro
We strongly encourage you to take Metro to the Natcher Conference Center. There are few visitor parking spaces at NIH, there is a 3-hour limit on those parking spaces, and ticketing is enforced and irreversible. The Natcher Conference Center is a 5-minute walk from the Medical Center station on the Red Line. The Natcher Building is located on Center Drive directly behind the Medical Center stop.
Driving
If you drive, you must enter the campus through the central location for registering and orienting visitors (the Visitor Gateway Center) and show one form of identification (e.g., a Government-issued photo ID, driver's license, passport, green card); visitors should continue to wear their identification prominently at all times while on campus. The Visitor Gateway Center is located on South Drive near the exit of the Metro system's Medical Center stop.
An alternative to parking at NIH is to drive to Bethesda and park in a public lot. From Bethesda you can either take the Metro (located at East-West Highway and Wisconsin Avenue.) to the Medical Center stop or walk up Wisconsin Avenue to Center Drive (about a 10- to 15-minute walk). You may also drive and park at other Metro stops on the Red Line that have public parking and take the Metro to the Medical Center station. Convenient stops include Rockville, White Flint, and Grosvenor.
