Visiting hours for the academy are daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or sunset, whichever is later. Visitors in cars must enter via Gate 1 at the corner of Randall Street and King George Street. Drivers will be briefly halted by a Marine guard, then allowed to park in one of the nearby lots inside the academy. Pedestrians may also enter through Gate 3, at King Street and Maryland Avenue. Visitors may watch the brigade's formal dress parades on Worden Field, held on a dozen occasions in the spring, summer and fall.
