The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's large-aircraft annex in Chantilly, sits just three miles from Washington Dulles International Airport and houses the Space Shuttle Discovery, an SR-71 Blackbird and a Concorde among its hangar-sized collection. DCA Limos drives visitors, school groups and aviation enthusiasts to the Center daily, with a drop-off right at the entrance instead of the museum's often-full parking lot.

Because the Udvar-Hazy Center sits adjacent to Dulles rather than in downtown Washington, it is also a natural stop for travelers with a long layover or an early arrival who want to see Space Shuttle Discovery before or after a flight.
The Center's two massive hangars hold thousands of aircraft and spacecraft, anchored by Space Shuttle Discovery, and draw a steady stream of family visitors, school field trips and aviation enthusiasts flying through Dulles specifically to see the collection. Admission is free, but the parking lot fills on weekends and during school-trip season, which is where a chauffeured drop-off at the entrance saves real time.
Our chauffeurs know the Center's own access road, separate from the main Dulles terminal road, and plan the pickup time around the museum's published closing hours.
For travelers with several hours between connecting flights, the Udvar-Hazy Center is close enough to Dulles — about 8 to 15 minutes — to fit into a long layover with time to spare, and our chauffeurs handle that as a single round-trip booking: pickup at the terminal, wait or return time at the museum, and drop-off back at departures.
For school groups and aviation enthusiasts arriving from further afield, we also run the Center as a standalone day trip from anywhere in our Northern Virginia coverage area.
Tell us whether this is a Dulles layover stop or a standalone visit, your group size and any return-flight timing we need to plan around, and we will confirm vehicles and a schedule.
