A round-trip shuttle bus has been established between the museum’s main building in Washington D.C. and the Udvar-Hazy Center. Buses arrive/depart from the Udvary-Hazy Center's main entrance and the Jefferson Drive (north) side of the National Mall museum. Buses run simultaneously from either location on the same departure schedule. (A back-up bus is always on standby at Udvar-Hazy Center).

Each shuttle seats at least 50 patrons and is compliant with ADA regulations. Only 50 tickets are sold per shuttle trip. The shuttle arrives at its location approximately 45 minutes to an hour after departure depending on traffic and road conditions. The shuttle will not board until 15 minutes prior to departure. The shuttle will depart on time and will not wait for visitors. Please allow enough time to get to the shuttle prior to departure. No food, drinks or luggage are allowed on the busses.

Schedule and ticket prices are subject to change. Tickets are available at box offices at both locations (IMAX or Planetarium). Only round-trip tickets are sold, one-way service is not provided. Note that the 9:00am bus leaves before the Museums open, therefore tickets must be purchased and picked up at the ticketing/box office upon arrival at your destination.

Shuttle tickets may be purchased in advance by calling (202) 633-4629.
Tickets sell out quickly. Visitors are therefore encouraged to purchase tickets in advance. Only round-trip tickets are sold, one-way service is not provided. No refunds allowed.
