Main Campus Garage at 111 Michigan Avenue Northwest
The hospital’s main campus garage is the straightforward option for families arriving at 111 Michigan Avenue Northwest in McMillan Water Treatment Plant, near Howard University. It is open 24 hours a day, so overnight stays and early appointments are covered (childrensnational.org). The published rate is free for 0 to 45 minutes, then $4 for 45 minutes to 1 hour, $8 for 1 to 2 hours, $12 for 2 to 3 hours, and $16 for over 3 hours (childrensnational.org).
Patient and visitor parking is available at the main campus, while valet service operates in the parking garage Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. (international.childrensnational.org). The patient entrance area is in the parking garage, and the hospital provides floor maps online showing the patient entrance area (childrensnational.org). Use the garage rather than searching residential streets when an accessible route into the hospital is important.
Street Parking Around the Hospital and Michigan Avenue Northwest
The hospital address is 111 Michigan Avenue Northwest, and the main campus garage is the designated parking facility for families and visitors (childrensnational.org). Drivers who try to leave a vehicle on nearby streets should treat curbside parking as a signed, location-specific choice rather than an alternative to the garage. Washington, DC curb regulations can change from block to block, particularly around a major medical campus.
A hospital visit can run longer than planned, so a space that appears convenient may not suit a long appointment or an overnight stay. The garage’s 24-hour operation gives drivers a more predictable option than moving a car between residential blocks.
Parksy Spaces Within 56 Yards to 0.8 Miles
For a short visit, a secure garage space 56 yards from the hospital costs $8 a day. At 0.7 miles, a secure private parking space available 24/7 costs $50 a week, which is better suited to a prolonged stay or a worker making repeated visits.
Two Channing Street NE long-term spaces at the same distance cost $150 a month, making them options for extended treatment schedules or regular shift workers. A secure monthly parking garage 0.8 miles away costs $345 a month and is the longest-term choice in the nearby group. The 0.7-mile monthly spaces are likely to require more walking than the 56-yard garage space, so allow extra time for hospital appointments.
Arriving for Appointments, Drop-Off, and Emergency Care
For an appointment or planned visit, the patient entrance area is located in the hospital parking garage (childrensnational.org). Valet parking is available in the garage Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. (international.childrensnational.org).
The main campus garage is open 24 hours a day, which helps with early-morning appointments, late discharges, and overnight hospital visits (childrensnational.org). The hospital publishes directions and parking details for the main campus, and its main hospital page directs visitors to those details (childrensnational.org). For urgent or emergency care, follow hospital signs and directions for the appropriate entrance instead of delaying care while looking for street parking.
Georgia Avenue–Petworth Station and Bus Access
Georgia Avenue–Petworth is the nearest listed station, 0.9 miles from the hospital and an 18-minute walk. The route ends at 111 Michigan Avenue Northwest in McMillan Water Treatment Plant, near Howard University, so visitors can use the station as a car-free approach and continue on foot to the campus.
The hospital publishes directions and parking information for its main campus, while its official site also provides a transportation and parking page for international patients (childrensnational.org; international.childrensnational.org). Bus routes are not named in the supplied official search listings, so the station-and-walk option is the specific transit approach available here. A visitor carrying supplies or accompanying a patient may find the 18-minute walk less practical than arriving by car or using a local connecting service.
