GROUP TOUR INFORMATION

Accessibility
Carlyle House is happy to work with teachers to meet the group needs. Please discuss any special needs with the Curator of Education when scheduling your program. Many historic sites in Alexandria are multi-level and do not have elevators; however, programs can be adjusted to provide the best-possible experience for all students with notice.

Where to Park
Groups arriving by car should include time for parking in their planning. There is metered street and garage parking available throughout Old Town.

School buses and tour buses must use designated loading/unloading areas and designated parking areas Old Town. For the exact locations, visit

Bus loading/unloading: Due to the high volume of bus traffic, parking is allowed in the designated area for only as long as it takes to actually load or unload. (Alexandria Police Department will strictly enforce). Loading and unloading areas are adjacent to the 300 block of King Street between Fairfax Street and Royal Street on Market Square side

Bus Parking: Due to the sensitivity of our historic architecture, buses are not permitted to idle when parked. Engines must be turned off. Short-term parking is permitted at:

  • Robinson Terminal: 500 block of North Union Street (four spaces) between Oronocco and Pendleton streets, east side, northbound; 3-hour parking on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • North Old Town: 900 block of North St. Asaph Street (two spaces), west side, southbound: 3 hour parking on a first-come, first-served basis
