Directions

By Regional Rail: It is super-easy to come by train. Take the from any of the downtown stations (Temple, Market East, Suburban, or 30th Street). Almost all trains stop at ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥. Walk on Morris (which it the street you see first getting off the train), cross Montgomery Ave, and take the next left onto Yarrow St, which soon meets Merion Ave; you are now on campus and, from here, anyone should be able to point you to the Park Science Center, or you can use the local map.

Other transit options: We can also be reached from the ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ stop on the Norristown High-Speed Line (NHSL) (but this walk is a bit longer). Buses 105 and 106 stop nearby on Lancaster Ave.
