Rent a Bus to the Kennedy Center: Group Performing Arts Transportation Guide

The Kennedy Center sits on the Potomac waterfront at the western edge of Foggy Bottom, which sounds convenient on a map until your group is trying to get there on a Friday night when a sold-out production just let out of the Opera House and Rock Creek Parkway is running one-way outbound. The Kennedy Center is the most visited performing arts venue in the United States, and its location — tucked between the Watergate complex, the GW Parkway interchange, and the restricted corridors near the State Department — makes it one of the trickiest destinations in the District for any group bigger than two cars. This guide covers the part most transportation pages leave out: exactly where a bus drops your group, how the garage and the free shuttle actually work, what happens to parking and roads when special events overlap with performances, and why the evening logistics look very different from the matinee ones.

It's the same planning we walk our own groups through before every Kennedy Center booking, and it applies to every kind of trip — school field trips, NSO season subscribers, corporate events, wedding weekend outings, and touring groups from Northern Virginia, Maryland, or across the region. For the full picture of how we handle Washington DC group transportation, see our Washington DC group transportation services.

Where a Bus Drops Off at the Kennedy Center — and Where It Doesn't Park

Here is the detail that trips up most group organizers planning their first Kennedy Center visit by bus: there is no on-site motorcoach parking lot. The Kennedy Center's parking garage — accessed via New Hampshire Avenue and F Street (north entrance, A Level) or via 25th Street (south entrances) — has clearance limits and is built for passenger cars, not full-size coaches. Charter and tour buses drop passengers at the designated drop-off and pick-up area near the main entrance along F Street NW, and then wait off-site while the group is inside.

That off-site wait is not optional or improvised. DC's DDOT (District Department of Transportation) governs motorcoach operations citywide, requiring commercial vehicles to unload only in designated zones, observe a three-minute idling limit (five minutes below 32°F), and follow all routing maps issued by the District. A bus that idles on F Street waiting for a three-hour performance to end will be ticketed.

What that means for your booking: confirm with your transportation coordinator how off-site waiting is handled for your specific event, because a well-organized group trip to the Kennedy Center always builds the post-show pickup plan before the night starts, not after the curtain drops.

The practical upside of drop-off and pick-up logistics is real: your group arrives at the door in one vehicle, walks straight into the Grand Foyer, and has a pre-arranged return pickup instead of standing on F Street competing for rideshares with every other group that just exited the 2,460-seat Concert Hall or the 2,360-seat Opera House simultaneously. That exit situation, on a sold-out evening, is exactly the kind of post-show scramble a pre-arranged bus cuts out entirely.

Driving Directions and Garage Details for Groups Arriving by Car

Groups arriving in personal vehicles or smaller vans that fit the garage have two approach routes the Kennedy Center itself recommends. Via Virginia Avenue: turn left onto Virginia Avenue, then right at the second stoplight onto 25th Street, following Kennedy Center signs. Via Rock Creek Parkway northbound: take the first right after crossing the Potomac bridge, follow Ohio Drive/Rock Creek Parkway, and exit right to reach the garage's C Level north entrances.

For vehicles over six feet tall, limited spaces on Levels A, B, and C accommodate heights up to seven feet — charter buses well exceed that, which is one more reason the drop-off-and-stage approach is the standard for full-size vehicles.

Garage pricing is $25 standard, with $22 prepaid online and a weekday early-bird rate of $17 (in by 9:30 a.m., out by 6 p.m.). One hour of complimentary validation is available when visiting the Box Office or spending $10 or more at the Gift Shops. For parking questions, call the garage directly at (202) 416-7988, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

We recommend checking the official Kennedy Center parking page before your visit to confirm current rates and any event-specific access changes.

The Free Foggy Bottom Shuttle — and Why It Matters for Your Group Plan

The Kennedy Center runs a complimentary shuttle between the venue and Foggy Bottom-GWU-Kennedy Center Metro Station at 23rd and I Streets NW — the Blue, Orange, and Silver line stop closest to the building. The short red Kennedy Center-branded bus runs every 15 minutes and requires no ticket or Kennedy Center admission to board.

Operating hours: Monday–Thursday 9:45 a.m.–11:30 p.m., Friday–Saturday 9:45 a.m.–midnight, Sunday 11:45 a.m.–11 p.m., and federal holidays 4 p.m.–11 p.m. The shuttle stop is at the curb as you exit the Metro escalators, with the Kennedy Center logo visible on the bus. Walking the same distance takes roughly 10–12 minutes, but the shuttle handles elevation and navigates the building's unusual approach roads so your group doesn't have to.

For a charter bus group, the free shuttle matters in one specific scenario: if your group is arriving by Metro from different points across the region and meeting up at Foggy Bottom before heading in together, the shuttle covers that last leg with no hassle. But if you are boarding a single private bus from one pickup point — a hotel in downtown DC, a parking lot in Arlington, a school in Bethesda — you skip the Metro and the shuttle entirely. Your bus drops the group at F Street and you walk in from there.

That's the simpler move for any group that wants to arrive together rather than trickling in from scattered Metro entries.

What Happens to Traffic Around the Kennedy Center on Special Event Nights

The Kennedy Center's location puts it squarely in the corridor where large-scale events lead to significant road management by DC police and DDOT. When special events occur — and this has happened multiple times in the 2025–26 season — the impact on approach roads is not subtle. A documented event closure pattern for the area includes the following roads going to full closure: Rock Creek Parkway from Virginia Avenue to the Potomac River Freeway, F Street from Rock Creek Parkway to 25th Street NW, and 25th Street NW from Virginia Avenue to F Street.

Partial closures to local traffic only can extend to Jamal Khashoggi Way from Virginia Avenue to F Street and 27th Street from K Street to Virginia Avenue.

Emergency no-parking zones on event nights cover Virginia Avenue, F Street, Jamal Khashoggi Way, 25th Street, and the Thompson Boat Center Parking Lot. Depending on conditions, closures can spread further to Virginia Avenue between 22nd Street and Rock Creek Parkway, plus 24th Street, New Hampshire Avenue, and streets extending to I, H, and G Streets. Vehicles parked in no-parking zones during these windows get ticketed or towed — both standard DC enforcement outcomes in this corridor.

What this means for a bus group on a routine performance night is more moderate — most Kennedy Center performances do not trigger these full closures. But if your group's outing falls on the same night as a high-profile political event at the venue or a simultaneous closure anywhere in the Foggy Bottom/GWU corridor, the approach roads your GPS recommends may be blocked. A charter bus in that scenario takes the alternate route without your group doing anything; 15 passengers in separate rideshares, each getting a different detour reroute, do not have the same experience.

That is the gap a private Washington DC bus rental closes on a night when the city's corridors are active.

The Kennedy Center's Venues: Which Space Is Your Group Going To?

The Kennedy Center's campus holds multiple distinct performance spaces, and the one your group is visiting shapes the drop-off approach and the post-show exit timing. The six primary venues:

• Concert Hall — 2,460 seats. Home of the National Symphony Orchestra and its 2025–2026 season programming, including works by Mahler, Beethoven, and Gershwin. Conductor Gianandrea Noseda leads the NSO's artistic season; the NSO Pops series under Steven Reineke runs a separate family-friendly and tribute programming track in the same hall. The largest venue on campus, and the one with the most pronounced post-show exit flow.
• Opera House — 2,360 seats. Home of Washington National Opera (WNO) and the annual Kennedy Center Honors Gala. Broadway productions, ballet, and international touring companies perform here. Groups of 10 or more qualify for WNO group pricing.
• Eisenhower Theater — 1,169 seats. The most Broadway-scale space on campus, renovated in 2008, hosting theater and dance productions. Named for President Eisenhower, the theater regularly presents dramas and musicals comparable to mid-size touring-house productions.
• Terrace Theater, Theater Lab, and Family Theater — three smaller venue spaces for intimate productions, experimental theater, and family programming.
• Millennium Stage — free nightly performances in the Grand Foyer, open to the public without tickets. Groups visiting for a free Millennium Stage show still need bus logistics but have no ticket purchase required.
• The REACH — the 2019 expansion campus including outdoor lawns, the Skylight Pavilion, indoor studios, and event spaces used for festivals, community programming, and Kennedy Center education initiatives.

If your group holds tickets to the Concert Hall or Opera House, plan your departure for a post-show pickup that accounts for the full house exiting. A 2,460-seat audience leaving at once through a building connected to a parking garage that backs up onto Rock Creek Parkway is the specific scenario where a pre-arranged bus pick-up at a confirmed location — rather than a rideshare hailed from the curb — keeps your group's evening on schedule.

School Groups, Field Trips, and Education Programs

The Kennedy Center runs one of the country's most developed performing arts education programs for K–12 students, with a dedicated school performance season offering live dance, music, and theater specifically programmed for classroom groups. The 2025–26 season includes school-time performances, dress rehearsals, and pre-performance lectures — with Title I school support that includes ticketing and transportation assistance for qualifying DC public schools.

For schools and youth groups coming from outside DC — Northern Virginia districts, Montgomery County, Prince George's County, or schools in Bethesda, Rockville, or Alexandria — the bus logistics are the whole plan. There is no school bus drop zone separate from the main F Street entrance, so the drop-off sequence is the same as for adult groups: the bus pulls to the front along F Street, students unload, and the bus waits off-site until pickup. This is manageable for a single bus; for a multi-bus school trip, spacing out the drop-off times so buses do not stack on F Street is a coordination step worth building into your booking call.

A Washington DC school bus rental to the Kennedy Center typically works best with a morning drop-off for a school-time matinee, a clear re-boarding time communicated to all students and chaperones before entering the building, and a staged pickup that does not place buses back on F Street earlier than 10 minutes before the scheduled exit. The Kennedy Center Education office and the Group Sales team at (202) 416-8400 are both resources for coordinating the performance side; the transportation coordination is what we handle on the bus side.

The Kennedy Center also offers free building tours for groups of 15 or more by appointment through the Visitors Center at (202) 416-8340. A tour group that is not attending a paid performance still needs the same drop-off logistics — and a tour that overlaps with a matinee house exit means the lobby will be full when your group is trying to get oriented, so tour timing relative to the performance schedule is worth confirming in advance.

Group Tickets, Discounts, and What Groups of 20+ Actually Save

The Kennedy Center's Group Sales program is designed for organized parties of 20 or more (or 10 or more for Washington National Opera, and 15 or more for Shear Madness). The financial case for booking as a group is real: discounts run up to 50% on select performances, and the per-ticket handling charge for group orders drops to 6% versus 15% for individual online or phone purchases. The Group Sales Office also offers priority seating access and flexible payment arrangements that individual ticket buyers do not get.

To book, call the Group Sales Office at (202) 416-8400, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Group sales associates walk you through available blocks for your target performance and hold seats while you finalize headcount — a meaningful advantage when the show you want to bring 25 people to is selling down fast. An optional complimentary FedEx ticket delivery is available for group orders, which makes distribution easier for a school, a corporate event, or a club with members who are not all in the same building.

The per-person math for a charter bus trip works out well here. A group of 30 splitting a Washington DC charter bus rental at the $150–$300/hour range, running a 4-hour evening itinerary from a single pickup point, lands at roughly $20–$40 per person in transportation cost before the ticket discount. When the ticket itself is 30–50% off face value for the same group, the total per-person cost for a night at the Kennedy Center often comes in competitive with what individuals pay for the same show plus parking, rideshare surge pricing, and the post-show wait at the curb.

What Size Bus Does Your Kennedy Center Group Need?

Not every Kennedy Center group is the same size or the same occasion. Here is how the fleet maps to the most common trip types.

The distinction that matters most for Kennedy Center trips specifically: the full-size charter bus with an onboard restroom is the practical choice for school groups where bathroom access between arrival and intermission is a real concern, and for senior groups where long walks between the bus waiting area and the venue entrance matter more. If your group is compact enough for a minibus and your evening is a celebration — a birthday group heading to an Opera House gala performance, a bachelorette party who also loves the performing arts — a 20-passenger minibus keeps the trip personal and easy to maneuver on Foggy Bottom's one-way grid. We offer a wide variety of vehicles, meaning you never have to pay for seats you do not actually need.

ADA-accessible vehicles are always available with advance notice — just mention the requirement when you call.

Getting There: Routes, Pickup Points, and Drive Times

The Kennedy Center sits at the western end of Foggy Bottom — which means its street approach is hemmed by Rock Creek Parkway to the west, Virginia Avenue to the south, and the one-way-heavy residential grid of Foggy Bottom to the north and east. For a bus group, that geography makes the pickup origin more important than it might seem: the approach route changes meaningfully depending on where your group boards.

Those times assume off-peak conditions. A Friday evening departure from downtown DC toward the Kennedy Center at 6:30 p.m. — when the M Street and K Street corridors are in peak outbound flow and Virginia Avenue is absorbing everything coming from the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge — adds real time. A group leaving Capitol Hill on a weeknight for a 7:30 p.m. curtain should be in the bus no later than 6:30 p.m. to arrive comfortably.

We build that buffer into the booking and communicate it clearly, because a group arriving at the Kennedy Center at 7:28 p.m. for a 7:30 p.m. Concert Hall performance is not enjoying the evening the same way as a group that walked in at 7:00 p.m. and found their seats at leisure.

Bus vs. Every Other Option to the Kennedy Center

Washington DC's transit is good enough that it deserves an honest comparison before defaulting to a bus. Here is the real picture for a group.

We'll be straight with you: for one or two people attending a weeknight NSO concert, the Metro to Foggy Bottom and the free shuttle is the smartest, cheapest move. There's no reason to charter a bus for two. The moment your party grows beyond what fits comfortably in two or three rideshares — and especially once you cross into school-trip territory or corporate groups where headcount accountability matters — the math and the logistics tip decisively toward one vehicle with a confirmed pickup plan.

The post-show scenario seals it: after the Opera House empties, rideshare pricing spikes and wait times stretch. A group that climbed off a bus at 7 p.m. and has a pre-arranged return at 10:30 p.m. is back at their hotel while the rideshare queue is still forming on F Street.

What to Expect on a Kennedy Center Visit: The Practical Details

A few things every group organizer should know before the day arrives, drawn from the Kennedy Center's own published information.

Arrive Early — and Know Why

The Kennedy Center's Grand Foyer stretches 630 feet — the length of two football fields — and runs the full width of the building between the Opera House, Concert Hall, and Eisenhower Theater entrances. It is one of the largest rooms in the United States, and for a group, it is the natural gathering point before the performance. Budget 30 minutes before curtain to move through the foyer, find restrooms, check coats, and locate your seats without rushing.

School groups in particular benefit from a 45-minute arrival buffer to get headcounts done in an organized space before the house opens.

Free Performances: Millennium Stage

Every evening at 6 p.m., the Millennium Stage in the Grand Foyer hosts a free performance — no ticket, no reservation required. The Kennedy Center Live streaming of Millennium Stage performances reaches audiences beyond DC, but in person the performances draw locals and visitors who are in the building anyway. For a group that wants the Kennedy Center experience without the full ticket cost, a Millennium Stage performance followed by dinner along the Potomac waterfront or at the Kennedy Center's rooftop terrace is a solid evening plan.

You still need the bus logistics to get there and back.

Free Building Tours

The Kennedy Center offers complimentary tours of the original building and of the REACH expansion, as well as a combined campus highlights tour, for groups of 15 or more by appointment. Contact the Visitors Center at (202) 416-8340 to schedule. Tours typically run Monday through Friday daytime hours, making them a natural school-trip option that pairs with an afternoon Millennium Stage performance or a matinee.

The tour routing through the building's public spaces — including the Hall of Nations and Hall of States, the Grand Foyer, and the River Terrace overlooking the Potomac — gives student groups context that makes a later performance visit more meaningful.

Trip Types We Take to the Kennedy Center

Different groups, same destination, very different logistics. A few of the most common:

• School field trips. The Kennedy Center's K–12 school performance program draws student groups from across Virginia, Maryland, and DC. One bus, one headcount, one pickup window. We coordinate the departure time to put students in the building 30 minutes before the house opens and the return bus at the street the moment the performance concludes. See our Washington DC school event bus rental service for how we handle the booking.
• Corporate outings and team events. Law firms, associations, and federal agencies with season subscriber blocks at the NSO or WNO often shuttle employees or clients as a group from downtown offices to the Kennedy Center and back. A 20-passenger minibus handles the office-to-Opera House-to-dinner loop without anyone worrying about the Rock Creek Parkway backup on the way out.
• Wedding weekends. Out-of-town guests at a Washington DC wedding often have a free night or afternoon — a Kennedy Center performance is a natural anchor, and a shuttle from the hotel keeps it simple so guests do not have to navigate Foggy Bottom on their own. See our Washington DC wedding party bus rental service.
• Club and subscriber groups. Book clubs, alumni networks, cultural societies, and performing arts subscriber groups who attend the Kennedy Center together regularly benefit from a recurring transportation arrangement rather than coordinating 20 individual arrivals each season.
• Senior and assisted living groups. The Kennedy Center's accessible entrances and elevator access make it one of the more senior-friendly major performing arts venues in DC. A full-size charter bus with an ADA lift and onboard restroom makes the trip comfortable from door to door.
• Celebration groups. Birthday groups and anniversary celebrations heading to a Kennedy Center gala performance — the Opera House for Honors week programming, or a major touring production — where the evening is a milestone event, not just a show.

The 2025–26 Season: What's Worth Booking a Bus For

The Kennedy Center's 2025–26 programming is worth knowing before you book, because the event type shapes how competitive the bus supply and the ticket availability get. Some highlights from the current season:

• National Symphony Orchestra (2025–26). Music Director Gianandrea Noseda leads the season with Mahler's Symphony No. 6, Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, and the season's opera-in-concert production of Samuel Barber's Vanessa featuring a cast including Sondra Radvanovsky and Thomas Hampson. The NSO's Pops season under Steven Reineke includes tributes to The Bee Gees, John Williams, and Radiohead, plus seasonal favorites including Home Alone in Concert and A Holiday Pops! The NSO is now opening every Concert Hall performance with the national anthem in honor of America's 250th birthday year. All NSO programming takes place in the 2,460-seat Concert Hall.
• Washington National Opera. WNO productions run in the Opera House and represent some of the most sought-after group tickets of the season — book early, as WNO group minimums are 10 tickets and productions routinely sell to capacity.
• Theater and touring productions. The Eisenhower Theater's 1,169-seat house hosts Broadway-scale touring productions and Kennedy Center presentations throughout the season. Check the Kennedy Center calendar for specific shows and dates as the season progresses.
• Family programming. Bluey's Big Play, the theatrical adaptation of the Emmy Award–winning children's series, runs June 24–28, 2026 at the Kennedy Center — a high-demand family show that will book solidly on weekends and make transportation coordination important for groups bringing children.
• NSO Family Concerts. The NSO runs family concert programming in the Concert Hall for younger audiences — specifically designed entry-point performances for groups bringing children or students to orchestral music for the first time.

Holiday weeks and special event nights are when bus availability tightens most. A group wanting a charter bus for a December NSO Pops performance or a weekend Opera House production should plan at least four to six weeks ahead. For school field trips aligned with school-time performance dates, earlier is always better — those dates are set by the Kennedy Center's education calendar and fill quickly once schools start registering.

Booking, Timing, and the Pre-Show Pickup

Booking a bus to the Kennedy Center is straightforward once the performance is confirmed. Here is the workflow:

1. Confirm your performance details first. Date, curtain time, venue on campus (Concert Hall, Opera House, Eisenhower, Millennium Stage), and headcount. These four pieces of information determine the vehicle size, departure time, and pickup sequence.
2. Book the bus with your performance date locked in. Share your pickup location(s), group size, and the curtain time, and we will build the departure window that puts your group in the foyer at least 30 minutes before the house opens.
3. Confirm the return pickup plan. Because charter buses wait off-site during performances, setting the return pickup time and the exact pickup spot on F Street before your group enters the building is essential. Do this before the curtain, not during intermission.

A few timing questions we hear from every first-time Kennedy Center group: Can the bus wait during the performance? Yes, with the bus off-site rather than idling on F Street — confirmed when you book. How do we handle intermission?

The Kennedy Center's intermissions typically run 20–25 minutes, which is enough time for a quick restroom run but not a full departure and return. Plan for a single pickup after the final curtain, not at intermission. What if the performance runs long?

Build a 20-minute buffer into your return window and communicate the flexible pickup arrangement to your bus coordinator in advance. Call 202-602-1664 any time for an all-inclusive price quote — or use our online tool for instant availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly does a bus drop off at the Kennedy Center?

The designated drop-off and pick-up area is along F Street NW near the main entrance. There is no on-site parking for charter or tour buses — the garage is sized for passenger vehicles with a maximum height of seven feet, and full-size coaches exceed that clearance. The bus drops your group at F Street, waits off-site during the performance, and returns to the same zone for pickup.

Confirm the exact logistics and off-site waiting plan with your transportation coordinator when you book.

Does the Kennedy Center have a motorcoach parking lot?

No. The Kennedy Center's on-site parking is a passenger garage accessed from New Hampshire Avenue/F Street (north, A Level) and 25th Street (south). Charter and tour buses are not accommodated in the on-site garage. Having your bus wait off-site is standard practice for Kennedy Center group trips and should be confirmed when you book your transportation.

How much does it cost to rent a bus to the Kennedy Center?

Pricing depends on group size, vehicle type, total hours, and pickup location. As a guide: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run roughly $170–$344/hour; 15–35 passenger minibuses run $150–$300/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day for longer commitments. A typical evening Kennedy Center outing — pickup at 6:30 p.m., drop-off by 11 p.m. — is a 4.5-hour block.

For a group of 30, that translates to a total cost that often runs less than $30–$50 per person when split across the group, with no parking cost, no post-show surge pricing, and no coordination overhead. Call 202-602-1664 for a no-obligation quote specific to your date and headcount.

Is the Metro to Foggy Bottom a good option for a group?

For one to four people, the Metro is excellent — Foggy Bottom-GWU station on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines is the closest stop, the free shuttle runs every 15 minutes directly to the building, and the Metro is dramatically cheaper than parking the garage at $25/car. For groups larger than that, the Metro splits everyone up: people who board at different points arrive in different cars at different times, nobody is together in the foyer, and the post-show shuttle queue from a sold-out Concert Hall back to the Metro can stretch 20 to 30 minutes. A private bus rental keeps the group together from pickup to drop-off and cuts out that post-show queue entirely.

What streets close around the Kennedy Center on event nights?

For high-profile special events, documented closures in the area have included Rock Creek Parkway from Virginia Avenue to the Potomac River Freeway, F Street from Rock Creek Parkway to 25th Street NW, and 25th Street NW from Virginia Avenue to F Street. Emergency no-parking zones cover Virginia Avenue, F Street, and surrounding blocks. Closures vary by event — routine Kennedy Center performances do not always trigger these closures, but high-security or nationally televised events do.

We track approach conditions for your date and route around closures; we always recommend reviewing the Kennedy Center's directions page and any DDOT traffic advisories before your visit.

How far in advance should a group book for a Kennedy Center performance?

For most performances, two to four weeks is workable. For peak-demand dates — NSO Pops holiday programs in December, Opera House opening nights, Kennedy Center Honors weekend programming, and popular touring productions — four to six weeks ensures the right vehicle is available at a competitive rate. School groups booking around the Kennedy Center's school-time performance schedule should coordinate as early as possible, since those dates align with the education program registration calendar and bus demand from other DC and Virginia schools spikes on the same days.

Does the Kennedy Center offer group ticket discounts?

Yes. Groups of 20 or more save up to 50% on many performances, and group orders carry a handling charge of 6% versus 15% for individual purchases. Washington National Opera group minimums are 10 tickets; Shear Madness minimums are 15 tickets; all other performances require 20 or more.

Call the Group Sales Office at (202) 416-8400, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., to confirm available group blocks for your target performance. Full details at the Kennedy Center Group Sales page.

Are ADA-accessible buses available?

Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts, wide aisles, and securement areas are available with advance notice. Mention the accessibility requirement when you request a quote and we will confirm the right vehicle for your group. The Kennedy Center's building is fully accessible with elevator access between all levels; coordinate accessible seating through the Group Sales or Box Office team when you purchase your tickets.

Can a Kennedy Center trip be combined with other DC stops?

Absolutely. A common evening itinerary: pickup from a hotel or office in downtown DC or Northern Virginia, pre-show dinner at a Georgetown or Watergate-area restaurant, Kennedy Center performance, return to the hotel. A common school-day itinerary: morning Smithsonian or National Mall stop, Kennedy Center matinee or building tour, return to school.

Because the bus stays with your group throughout, adding stops is a matter of scheduling — not extra coordination. Call 202-602-1664 and tell us the full itinerary, and we will build the departure sequence around it.
