Getting Here
The MBTA’s Red Line is your best option to get here! Depending on where you are coming from, you could also walk, bike (there are lots of Blue Bike stations nearby), take the bus, or take a taxi or rideshare.
We strongly encourage visitors not to drive to campus. Cambridge traffic can be tough, the layout of the roads can be confusing, and, although there is public parking at the Hayward Parking Garage, and other public lots in Kendall Square, it can be expensive.
If you’re planning to park at the Hayward Garage, be sure to go underground to park – the above ground parking for MIT Health is close to this entrance, so it’s easy to get confused. Parking in the MIT Health lot will result in a non-refundable $60 charge.
The Kendall/MIT Open Space and MIT Welcome Center are both located at:
292 Main Street
Cambridge, MA 02142
The MIT Welcome Center is open from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday, and closed during MIT holidays and closures.
