The Experimental Station is located in the building at the corner of Blackstone Avenue and 61st Street, in Chicago. You will approach from Dorchester Avenue and turn east (towards the Lake) on to 61st Street. You will see Carnegie Elementary School on the corner, then a walled garden. Take a right turn at the corner (your only option) and you will be on a short, unconnected spur of Blackstone Avenue. The building and the entrance doors are on right side, first B'Gabs Goodies, then an unused door, and finally the main entrance. Immediately past the building is a large gate leading to Blackstone Bicycle Works.

The retail and event spaces on the ground floor are wheel-chair accessible. Feel free to call us with any accessibility questions.
