We have our own subway stop, Kendall/MIT on the MBTA Red Line, and if you are coming from Boston you’ll enjoy a beautiful ride over the Charles River via the historic Longfellow Bridge.
From the Seaport: Take the MBTA Silver Line to the Red Line at South Station where you will pick up the MBTA Red Line to Kendall/MIT station.
You can also take the MBTA Green Line to the Lechmere Station, with inbound service to D-Riverside and E-Heath Street and outbound service to D-Union Square and E-Medford/Tufts. It’s a 12-minute walk from Lechmere to Kendall/MIT Open Space and Welcome Center where Experience Kendall begins.

A system map, including details to help you plan your trip from start to finish, can be found here.
Personal Bikes:
There are several bike racks found throughout Kendall Square, with some taking the form of caffeine molecules and others depicting sine waves. Keep your eyes open for these quirky places to store your bike along Main Street. The use of bike locks is recommended.
