Since May 3, all public visitors 18 years and older coming to Fermilab’s public areas in Batavia are required to present a REAL ID-compliant ID upon entry. Fermilab is required to comply with Department of Energy’s (DOE) security requirements applicable to DOE federal facilities and includes visitors entering by car, on foot, and on bicycle.
For car visitors arriving at either of the two entry gates, security will ask the driver and all adult passengers in the vehicle to show a REAL ID-compliant ID (such as an IL REAL ID driver’s license or passport) to gain access to the site.
Fermilab outdoor public areas are open daily from sunrise to sunset. The Lederman Science Center is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., and is closed Sundays and Fermilab holidays.
