Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Ballston Quarter

4238 Wilson Blvd

Arlington, VA 22203

Located in Arlington, approximately 5 miles from downtown Washington, DC, Ballston Quarter sits in a lively, transit-friendly neighborhood with easy urban access.

• Parking: On-site parking garage available; first hour free, then hourly rates apply. Some retailers and restaurants offer validation. Additional garages are nearby.
• Public Transit: Direct access via the Ballston–MU Metro Station (Orange and Silver Lines), plus multiple Metrobus routes.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and drop-off zones are available on Wilson Blvd and Glebe Road for quick arrivals and departures.

Arrival Recommendations

Aim to arrive 60–90 minutes before scheduled Ballston Quarter events or peak dining hours. Early arrival helps you secure a convenient parking spot, take advantage of validation options at participating retailers or restaurants, and settle into your preferred seating area before the crowd builds.

Many experiences happen indoors, but outdoor terraces and rooftop lounges are part of the draw. If you’re planning to spend time outside — especially during seasonal festivals — check the forecast and bring layers for cooler evenings or shade for sunny afternoons. Weather can influence outdoor seating availability and the setup of pop-up activations.

Transit is often your fastest route at peak times. The Ballston–MU Metro Station drops you right into the neighborhood, and flat, accessible walkways make the short stroll comfortable. If you’re driving, follow garage signage and keep your parking ticket handy if you plan to request validation at select tenants.

Venue Navigation

Ballston Quarter is designed for easy flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Digital directories and event displays help you find what you’re looking for fast — from Quarter Market to individual shops, restaurants, and event areas. Elevators and ramps connect all levels, so getting around with strollers or wheelchairs is straightforward.

You’ll find concessions and specialty vendors within Quarter Market, plus sit-down restaurants and cafes throughout. Restrooms, ATMs, charging stations, and public seating are located across the property. If you plan to explore multiple levels or visit the terraces, comfortable footwear makes the experience even more enjoyable.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: No specific complex-wide bag policy; individual tenants may set their own requirements.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.

• Ask participating retailers or restaurants about parking validation if you’ve used the on-site garage.

Pre-Event Planning

Build your visit around the unique energy of Ballston Quarter. Check the calendar for seasonal festivals, holiday markets, fitness classes, or farmers market dates — these community-focused Ballston Quarter events add fun surprises to your itinerary and often feature local vendors and themed pop-ups.

If you enjoy scenic moments, plan time on the rooftop or terrace lounges for sunset city views. Seasonal decorations and installations enhance the atmosphere throughout the year, so a quick walk through the common areas can turn into an impromptu photo tour with friends or family. For groups, designate a simple meet-up spot near Quarter Market or by rideshare zones on Wilson Blvd or Glebe Road to streamline arrivals.

Taking transit? The Ballston–MU Metro Station makes timing predictable — and with flat, accessible walkways, it’s an easy approach for guests of all ages. If you’re driving, check garage signage on entry and keep your parking ticket handy in case a restaurant or retailer offers validation.
