Getting There

• Car

After passing Puebla, continue on Highway 140 until you reach Highway 45. Take Highway 45 north, which will eventually lead you to the US border. After crossing the border into the United States, follow the I-94 north towards Milwaukee. From Milwaukee, take I-43 south towards Delavan. Finally, take exit 185 for WI-67 S towards Williams Bay. Continue on WI-67 S until you reach Geneva St. Turn left on Geneva St, and Yerkes Observatory will be on your right at 373 W Geneva St, Williams Bay, WI 53191. Be aware of potential tolls on the highways, which may incur additional costs.

• Public Transportation

  For public transportation, you can take a bus from major cities in Southeastern Mexico to a nearby city like Puebla. From Puebla, you can take a bus to the US border. After crossing the border, there are bus services that run from the border to Milwaukee. You may need to transfer buses along the way, so it's best to check schedules in advance. Once you arrive in Milwaukee, you can take a local bus or taxi to reach Williams Bay. Be sure to budget for bus fares on both sides of the border, and check for any potential additional fees for luggage or transfers.
