Springfield
Reagan National Airport has Blue and Yellow Line service, making the Blue Line from Franconia–Springfield a useful airport option without a rail transfer.
Use Metro’s airport guide and trip planner for operating times and terminal access. Allow for reaching the station and airline check-in; no fixed journey time is promised.

Springfield
The shopping center is about a mile from Franconia–Springfield Metro according to LEGO’s official arrival directions. Plan that final leg rather than assuming the station is inside the mall.
For a family attraction visit, compare the connecting bus with the walk. LEGO’s directions identify the Frontier garage if driving and its first-floor location near Grand Court.

Springfield
Use Trail Buddy to see public trail segments around Accotink and other Springfield parks before choosing a walking or cycling route.
A line on the map does not promise a paved or step-free route. Check surface and park restrictions; Accotink’s dam section has no flood bypass.
