For evening meals other than the Tuesday conference dinner, you have a number of options.
The Radisson has a good Japanese restaurant on site. Several additional restaurants are within easy walking distance (0.25-0.50 miles), and quite a few can be reached by car in less than 5 minutes. We will provide restaurant suggestions with your meeting materials.
We will provide shuttles between the Radisson and our Visitor Center to help you get to and from the meeting. All breaks and lunches, as well as the Tuesday conference dinner, will be served at the meeting site on our campus, so you won't need to worry about driving anywhere during the day.

If you wish to drive yourself from the hotel to Lowell::
Go right on Route 66 from the hotel parking lot to a stoplight. Turn left
onto Milton Ave and stay in the left lane. Go through the stoplight at Butler. Just after
a railroad overpass, get into the left turn lane and make a hard left onto West Santa Fe Avenue.
At the end of West Santa Fe, take the right fork up Mars Hill to Lowell Observatory. Park in
the visitor center parking lot (the first lot you will come to). Total distance is ~2.5 mi
(~4 km).
