Overview

Dulles Expo Center should really just knock off the last two letter of “Dulles” and be done with it. “Dull” is the reigning word here—it accurately describes the area (Chantilly); the spaces in the Center itself (two separate low-slung, charmless rectangles); and most of the exhibits, exhibitors, and exhibitees. Pray to whatever gods you believe in that, if you have to attend a show or convention in DC, it’ll be at the Washington Convention Center. Dulles Expo’s only saving grace is that it has the best convention center parking in the universe—immediately outside the two buildings. Other than that, if it’s a gun or RV show you’re looking for, well, golly, this is the place!

A cab from Dulles to the Expo Center will cost about $20. A taxi from Reagan National Airport costs approximately $45. If you really want to fly into Baltimore-Washington International Airport, be prepared to cough up $85 for your 1.5-hour schlep.

Hotels

The Expo Center has an on-site Holiday Inn Select and several hotels within walking distance. Certain hotels have specials for specific conventions, so ask when you book. Or browse hotel-specific websites such as hotels.com and pricerighthotels.com.

How to Get There—Driving

From DC, travel west on Constitution Avenue, and follow the signs to I-66 W to Virginia. Remain on I-66 W for about 25 miles until exit 53B, Route 28 N (Dulles Airport). Drive three miles north on Route 28, and then turn right onto Willard Road. Take the second left off into the Chantilly Shopping Center. From there, follow the signs to the Expo Center.

From Dulles Airport, follow exit signs for DC. Stay towards the right for about one mile, and take Route 28 S towards Centerville. Drive six miles and pass over Route 50. At the first light past Route 50, make a left on Willard Road. Follow signs to the Expo Center.

Better yet, don’t go at all.

Parking

The Dulles Expo and Conference Center has 2,400 parking spaces on-site! (When their website has to brag about parking, you know we’re not just being cynical about this place). If you arrive in your RV, you’ll have to find a campsite for the night, as campers, RVs, trucks, and oversized vehicles will be ticketed if parked overnight.

How to Get There—Mass Transit

There is no public transportation to the Dulles Expo and Conference Center. Remember, this is America.
