PUBLIC TRANSIT ACCESS INFO:
(MTA) Maryland Transit Administration - http://mta.maryland.gov/?device=desktop
The MTA's #17 bus will take you to Elkridge Landing Road where you get off & walk up to the corner of Elkridge Landing Road & West Nursery Road, then walk up the small hill on West Nursery Road to the museum. Look for the large antenna displays on the side & in the front of this single-level building which is right next to the Marriott Hotel.
The #17 bus starts at Patapsco Light Rail station, marked as ARUNDEL MILLS, going to Arundel Mills mall, and runs once an hour on Saturdays from 6:30 am until 10:45pm. It also picks up & drops off passengers at the MTA Light-Rail train's BWI Business District stop, which is right around the corner from the museum
You must use the Light-Rail train that is marked BWI AIRPORT (Southbond direction) in order to get to the BWI Business District stop if your are traveling from a Northerly location. This particular Light-Rail train goes right to BWI Airport then stops just outside of the baggage claim area of the airport's lower level. If you are coming from a BWI Airport inbound flight, then the train will be marked either Penn Station or Hunt Valley, in which case the train is travelling in a Northerly direction & you are only one stop from the BWI AIRPORT stop to the BWI BUSINESS DISTRICT stop. Be sure to pay the $1.60 one-way fare at the MTA's ticket vending machine as the MTA's police force will randomly check to see that you've paid the fare. If you have not, they will gladly give you a citation just before they escort you off the train.
The MTA's base fare (http://mta.maryland.gov/regular-fares) is $1.60 one-way or $3.50 for a DAY PASS which is good on all MTA local buses, metro subway & light-rail trains from 5:00 am of the present day until 3:00 am the next day.
Here are some schedules for the #17 bus & the Light-Rail train.
