Getting here
Train to Elm Street; drive for the wider landscape
Metro-North ends beside downtown and across from the Glass House visitor center. Grace Farms, Waveny Park, and most regional lodging require a car or arranged ride.
Metro-North, Stamford, the Merritt Parkway, Elm Street, Grace Farms, and Waveny Park
New Canaan station ends beside the village while the Merritt Parkway and local roads reach the wider landscape.
Compare rail to Elm Street with the road approach through Stamford and Route 124. Map lines show broad arrival relationships rather than turn-by-turn directions; use current MTA service, Connecticut road conditions, and town parking guidance before departure.
- The Glass House Visitor Center is across from New Canaan station, but its property is reached only by the official tour shuttle.
- Grace Farms and Waveny Park require separate road trips or arranged rides from the village.
