Didn't see much. Love the idea of a unisex restroom. Stalls have floor to ceiling doors, for privacy. Don't need privacy to wash hands!

The NASH service will take you downtown to the visitor center from the airport for $3.50 and there the free DASH service will take you to many tourist spots where you can get off as you wish and get back on another DASH bus which run aprox. every 30 min. See visitor center guides for info on the various options.

I read that the Visitor Center on Meeting Street is closed. Where is new center? Where is parking?

Royal Ward | Sep 23, 2020
Roy Brandon | Sep 23, 2020

Parking is still the same, the same surface lot or the same parking garage. The temporary visitor center is located in the Best Friend Train museum on John Street just next door to the bus shed and the visitor center being renovated. It's basically in the same place, just the other side of the bus shed.
