Location
Livermore, California
Visiting
Visiting Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is located off Vasco Road, near Interstate 580, in Livermore, California, about 50 miles east of San Francisco. It is an easy drive from anywhere in the Bay Area, and convenient to San Francisco International, San Jose, and Oakland airports.
Because much of LLNL's mission involves national security, entry is strictly regulated. Visitors must make prior arrangements and pick up a badge at the Westgate Badge Office in order to gain admittance to the Laboratory. Visitors and the news media should be aware of LLNL's policies on photography and its rules for bringing restricted and controlled items onto the site.
The public is invited to tour the Discovery Center, located just outside the Laboratory's gates off Greenville Road; pre-arranged tours of the Laboratory are also available on Tuesday mornings. Call (925) 422-4599 for more information.
