Conferences, artist residencies, performances, gallery exhibitions, and other public events:  

  • Via Car: Navigate to The Pocantico Center; the entrance is at the intersection of Lake Road and Bedford Road/Route 448. (Detailed directions from various origins are available here.) There are no signs at the entrance, so proceed slowly.
     
  • Via Metro-North Railroad: Take the Hudson line train to Tarrytown Station. We recommend pre-scheduling a taxi or ride-hailing service from the station, as taxis are not readily available. Tell the driver to navigate to The Pocantico Center: go east on Depot Plaza and continue onto White Street. Turn right onto Main Street, which becomes Neperan Road and then Old Saw Mill River Road. After approximately 1.75 miles, turn left onto Lake Road. Drive uphill for 0.6 miles. The main entrance will be on the left at the intersection of Lake Road and Bedford Road/Route 448. There are no signs at the entrance, so proceed slowly. 

Before proceeding through the gate, all guests must check-in with staff, who can provide further information about parking. For many events, including those at the David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center, shuttle buses bring guests between the parking lot and event site.
