About the Region
BEYOND THE METRO AREA
Janelia Farm is just eight miles from Dulles International Airport, served by 15 major domestic airlines, eight regional airlines, and 20 major international airlines, making the campus easily accessible to visiting scientists. Two other regional airports, Ronald Reagan Washington National and Baltimore-Washington International, are also nearby. Amtrak's Union Station in Washington, D.C., makes most eastern cities easily accessible by rail as well.
The Washington area's convenient location makes it easy to escape for time away from the city. With the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Chesapeake Bay, and the Atlantic Coast beaches all nearby, a few hours of driving can transport you to what feels like a different world. For more urban adventures, it's a short trip to Baltimore to explore the harbor or the National Aquarium, and Philadelphia and New York can both be reached in a few hours by car or train.
