getting there
By plane
The Dulles International Airport (IAD) is ½ hour west, on the edge of Chantilly and Herndon. The closer to D.C. located Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) is 45 minutes away.
By train
Tysons Corner does not have an Amtrak station, but is on the Silver Line, a Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority suburban train line that connects Tysons Corner with Washington D.C. and Largo (Maryland) connects. The stations are called Spring Hill, Greensboro and Tyson's Corner Metro Station. The fare from Spring Hill Metro Station to Smithsonian Metro Station (National Mall) is $ 5.30 for a single trip during rush hour and $ 3.60 outside of rush hour (as of Fall 2016). Park & Ride is not a good idea at these stations, unless you have the nerve to park your car in one of the neighboring department store parking lots.
