How to get to the Fox Theatre from
AOM Conference Hotels
The FOX Theatre is located on Peachtree, about 4/5 miles north of the Academy cluster of hotels and the Peachtree Center.
- CAB: A cab ride will take about 10 minutes and cost approximately $10.
- MARTA (Note: Directions are easier to follow if youre at the head of the train.)
Nearest MARTA stop to the Fox Theatre is N3 North Avenue.
§ Get off the train at Station N3 (North Avenue).
§ As you exit the train, walk towards the head of the train, and up the stairs.
§ Pass the gates and walk straight across the plaza, up the ramp with the black and white tiles.
§ Exiting the building, make a right turn and walk up the street (towards Peachtree).
§ Arriving at Peachtree, make another right, going South on Peachtree.
§ The FOX is the brick building with the neon sign (you cant miss it). - WALKING
The FOX is a 15-20 minute walk north of the hotels. Given the August heat and humidity, however, this is a sweaty proposition. Nevertheless, directions are simple.
§ Head north on Peachtree, preferably on the West (left) side of the street.
§ Follow the bridge over the highway.
§ Keep going past the Emory Crawford Long Hospital, and the Bank of America Plaza (ATM).
§ Keep going north: when you see an Arabic-looking building, youre looking at the Southern side of the FOX! - DRIVING :
§ Please consult http://www.foxtheatre.org/directions.htm
§ PARKING: The Fox Theatre does not own or operate parking facilities; however, a number of pay parking lots surround The Fox Theatre. The cost of parking is usually $4 to $10.
Please be aware that some of the parking lots do not provide an attendant at all times. You may wish to avoid parking in these lots as cars are subject to vandalism and damage when lots are unattended.
Transportation back to hotels:
Two 22-passenger shuttle busses have been hired to take people from the Fox Theatre to the Conference hotels. They will run every 15 minutes, beginning at 8:00 pm, with the last run leaving at 10:45 pm. Not all members of the Division can be accommodated in these shuttle busses, particularly toward the end of the evening. Accordingly, some will want to take one of the many cabs which are available in front of the Fox Theatre.
