Travel and Hotel Information


Airports

We recommend flying into either LAX or Burbank airports.  Another possibility is the Ontario airport.

Transport to Pasadena

For transport from your airport, we recommend either renting a car, or arranging for shuttle transport (e.g., SuperShuttle, Prime Time Shuttle, etc.).  If you do not wish to rent a car, one of the hotels on the list below, The Saga Motor Hotel, is a short ~10-minute walk from the Caltech campus.

Reaching Caltech

Please see the various information/maps/links regarding reaching Caltech here.  Information on visitor parking on the Caltech campus may be found here.  The rate for visitor parking is $5/day.  As described there, a 1-day visitor permit must be purchased from the automated pay stations at one of the parking lots listed there.  Maps showing the locations of the various parking lots may be found here.
