Just read on their website that as of September 5, 2006, the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum will no longer offer shuttle service between its National Mall building and the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center. What are other options? We'll be staying a couple of blocks from the Adams/Morgan metrostop, and do not plan to rent a car. Thanks for any/all info.

Well if you're flying into the DC area thru Dulles then you can get over to the Udvar-Hazy museum a bit easier. It's actually located just below Dulles Airport and I believe you'd need a car to reach it.

You could take the B5 Metrobus from L'Enfant Plaza or Rosslyn to IAD for $2.10-$3/person and taxi from there.

To clarify Greatsights' post: It's at least 5-8 miles from Dulles Airport to the Udvar-Hazy center. I do not know if there is a shuttle from Dulles to the U-H Center. Taxi might be easiest.

Virginia Regional Transportation Authority is suppose to offer a 50 cents shuttle from Dulles to the museum. Check the NAS Musuem web site under transportation.
