Downtown Wheaton, as shown in the map to the right, is very compact and dense with shops and restaurants, and is easily walkable from the Metro. Bus service is extensive throughout the area. To get to Brookside Gardens by public transport, get off the Metro at the Glenmont stop, then take Metrobus #C8 (http://www.wmata.com/bus/...) towards College Park. Get off at Glenallan Ave and walk 3/8ths mile south to the Visitor Center. You could also just walk the whole way south on Georgia Ave, left on Randolph, right on Glenallan, which is about a mile. From Wheaton Metro you could take Metrobus Y5, Y7, Y8, or Y9 (http://www.wmata.com/bus/timetables/md/y5-9.pdf up Georgia Ave, and then transfer to #C8 at Randolph Rd or just walk the rest of the way, east on Randolph, then right on Glenallan.)
