Park/Silver Spring Campus
Planetarium as seen from Fenton Street in Takoma Park
Directions to the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus of Montgomery
College
From I-495, the capital beltway, go south on George Avenue (Route 97).
Turn left on Sligo Avenue. Continue to Fenton Street; turn right. The
parking garage is on the right and the campus is on the left. The
campus is easily accessible from the Silver Spring and Takoma Park
Metro stations and local Ride-On buses as well. We are at one end
of Fenton Street, the sourthern end, where City Place is at the other
end of Fenton Strreet, the northern end.
Parking while visiting the planetarium
If you are coming for a Saturday evening public planetarium program you
may park in the faculty/staff only lot. Please do not park in the
faculty/staff lot at any other time unless you have a Montgomery
College faculty/staff parking
sticker you maybe
ticketed-sorry about that. If you are coming to a
grade-specific
field trip and traveling in a school bus please pull the bus adjacent
to
the planetarium in the faculty/staff parking lot off of Fenton Street.
Leave
the bus in the wide space near the planetarium, there is no better
place.
If you are coming to the planetarium for a public program not on a
Saturday
please park in the Montgomery College parking garage on King Street.
If
you are coming to the planetarium for a special program by appointment
please
pull your car adjacent to the planetarium in the faculty/staff lot and
let
everyone off, then come into the planetarium and get a temporary
parking
sticker from me, Dr. Harold Williams.
