Attending Maker Faire

Getting there

Unless you are delivering a robot, I recommend mass transit.

By train from most places - Take the 7 to 111 St and walk three blocks south.
If the 7 train isn't running, take the E, F or R to Forest Hills and then take the Q23. (see directions for Kew Gardens/Forest Hills one bullet down) And yes, you get a free bus transfer from the subway on your metrocard.
From Kew Gardens/Forest Hills - Get on the Q23 from the southeast corner of Queens Blvd and Continental. (near Subway sandwiches) The bus goes up 108th Street. Get off at 52nd Ave (by Lemon Ice King.) This is faster than taking the train back to Roosevelt transferring to the 7.
From anywhere along the Q23/Q58 routes, take bus to Lemon Ice King
From anywhere along the Q48 route, take bus to 111st and Roosevelt Ave
Driving to drop things off before/after the day? See the Hall of Science driving directions.
Driving to the event? Since Maker Faire uses the Hall of Science parking lot, parking is at Citifield. See the Maker Faire driving directions to Citifield. The Mets are away that weekend (in 2011) so you won't be competing for spots there.

What time is it?

Where do I get supplies?

Even if you bring everything you think you'll need, the unexpected always happens. Helpful (walking distance) local stores include:

Not walking distance is the nearest Home Depot - 131-35 Avery Ave in Flushing
