Housing, Food and Transportion at and around Fermilab


Accommodations     Transportation

Each participant will be responsible for his or her own housing arrangements.  A listing of several local hotels in the vicinity of Fermilab with contact information can be found here. A map showing their locations relative to Fermilab is available here (hotelmap.pdf file).


Fermilab is located about 50 miles West of downtown Chicago in Batavia, IL.  The following information may prove useful when it comes time for you to make your travel arrangements:
  • The nearest airports are Chicago's O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW) fields.

  • Because of the lab's remote location, we recommend that you rent a car for your visit.

  • For limo service from either airport to Fermilab and back, we recommend West Suburban Limousine (1-800-345-LIMO or 630-668-9600) or (cheaper) American Taxi in Naperville (630-305-3908).

  • If you will be driving to the lab, follow  this link for Maps and Driving directions to Fermilab.
