How to Get Here

Riverside is about 50 miles east of Los Angeles. If you plan to drive, UCR is easily found on any mapping program. UCR also has Metrolink connections to Los Angeles and Orange County. If you are planning to fly in, the nearest airport is Ontario (ONT), which is about a 25-50 minute drive away (depending on our notorious Southern California traffic)! From there, you can take a rideshare service (Uber/Lyft) or reserve a ride via a shuttle service (please see more information about this service here). Rental cars are also available from ONT if you prefer to drive yourself for the weekend.
