If you love history and trains, the Laurel Marc Station is a must-visit. It's at the end of…read moreLaurel's historic Main Street. You'll notice a small brick building near train tracks. The station was built in 1884 and a visit inside the waiting room transports you back over a hundred years. The train station still operates and takes people into Washington, D.C. and other cities.

As far as MARC stations go, this one has pros and cons…read more Pros: there is an actual building with benches and restrooms (the historic Laurel Depot) where you can buy tickets from a kiosk. Cons: the main parking lot is usually full by 7:30am, but there is an overflow lot a very short walk away. Hint: buy your ticket from the kiosk. The conductors often charge a $3 surcharge if you buy onboard.

We enjoyed a bite to eat at Sakura. You can't go wrong with their Teriyaki Chicken, Rice and Steamed Veggies combo that comes with a drink. The plus side of the Town Centre is the AMC Movie Theater. It's in the center end of the Town Centre. The shopping centers overall is good. There are a variety of stores, food, the movie theater and a few necessity spots for example a Dentist. Some may say why put one in a shopping centre but I've seen this more often than you may think. It doesn't hurt for convenience, so I don't have any negative feedback on that.

Beautiful library. Lately since I started working in PG I've wanted to visit more libraries. As a…read moreformer librarian I have a deep love and appreciation for libraries. The work they do is irreplaceable and so impactful. The renovation they did on this library is astounding! The libraries in Baltimore are really great but none are this modern. Shout out to the cool fireplace, never seen that in a library before. Such a chill vibe, I would def visit again and look forward to doing so. #Supportalllibraries

We as a family caught the train into DC to avoid parking and the traffic. We got on at the…read moreGreenbelt station where there is tons of parking including Handicap accessible parking as well. We required some assistance with getting all of our tickets from the attendant which was super helpful. The ride was smooth and the station was clean. I did have some challenges with getting out of the parking lot after returning to car. It is a bit confusing on how to get out due to poor signage in my opinion but ultimately figuring it out. All in All it is very easy to get into DC on the train however, after events it can be super crowded. I would recommend added a Tap option for an easy way to pay to get on the train. Will definitely be riding again

This is my go-to Metro station as it is the closest to me. The parking lot is huge, and I have…read morenever seen it completely full, although some of the spots are pretty far from the entrance of the station. The metro is always so clean and I find it usually runs on time. There is usually only one station attendant here, and there is a bathroom but they need to unlock it for you. The station also connects to Marc on the lower level. It currently only runs Green line, but is set to alternate green and yellow in December 2025. I wish they'd expand the green line farther north to Laurel, Jessup, or Dorsey station.

I really like the 5th Avenue beauty supply store - prices are great! And of course, I can't forget, one of my Laurel faves, Mad Cow Grill!

I know I missed some of the many businesses here, but here are some: -Two nail salons -Marshalls -Giant -Chuck E Cheese -Car wash -Capital One Bank -Bank of America -Negril -Barbershop -LA Fitness -T Mobile -Sally's -Subway There's plenty of parking over here!

Savage Mill is one of those adorable places that's worth a visit just to explore the buildings…read more There are several smaller parking lots, and if those are full, the big lot on the back of the mill is accurately named. It's big and the walk down is easy. Savage Mill is a former mill that's been converted and has various small businesses, restaurants, hands on activities, offices, a large booth style antique store, and various other options. There's even a fencing club. The interior of Savage Mill is lovely with the shops portion being two floors and it has a modern wood grain look. As you get further into the mill buildings, they have more offices and it can get confusing due to the number of floors and hallways with nothing but doors. The booth style antique store named Antique Center at Historic Savage Mill was a pleasant surprise in the basement. It has a good mix of high- and low-end booths with things from comic books to vintage plates. Is Savage Mill with coming out of your way to visit? Absolutely. This was one of the biggest and most pleasant surprises during my visit to the area, and I'd recommend it to others. Just make sure to budget enough time for a visit.

Hey friends! This review is long overdue. I loveeeee this mall so much. I actually used to work…read morehere for a couple months in college lol, that's how I discovered it. The antique mall is the perfect all-day adventure. Coffee shops, sweet treats, dive bars, winery, fencing studios, outdoor adventure park, cosmetic enhancement suites, $5 thrift shops, salon suites, tattoo shops, a huge antique shop and more make this mall a delicacy. There's something for everyone and you can truly spend the entire day here. Some of my favorite shops include More Than Java, Skinsational Scents and Boyd Cru Wines. The mall hosts events often. Check out their website for more details. Parking: there's TWO parking lots. Little Lot and Big Lot. You make a left as you exit Little Lot and go all the way the street to the end. I hope you enjoy!

The train is on time most days; however, if it is going to be late there is signage, which they update, to let passengers know. Be mindful that trains go in both directions.

Its a cold, cold world. I just moved to Beltsville from my…read morebeloved main st laurel apartment. Where I took for granted the fact that I could walk to the train station. And bump into my neighbors whilst waiting for the train:-( Now Im here at Muirkirk. Its sterile, cold and unfriendly. The people waiting dont seem to have a sense of community. Theyre literally just bodies waiting for a train. No one smiles, no one chit chats. Its very dry. The most scary part of this station is the fact that you have to cross live train tracks on foot. If you miss the morning NB Camden line train to DC by a minute and you arent on the other side--you might as well turn around and go to Greenbelt. Freight trains pass through frequently so you need to be extra careful. Theres no ticketing machine here for MARC so youll need cash to pay the conductor. Yea it sucks. I miss Laurel.

This shopping center has been around for awhile now! Of course there's been changes over the years…read more There's a fair amount of shopping and dining options: Dollar Tree, Aldi (used to be Safeway) Petco, Chipotle, Best Buy, Michael's, T-Mobile, Subway, Cleaners, Lowe's and more. I remember going to the Best Buy on Black Friday with my family to get a big screen TV many moons ago. That Best Buy is still there. I frequent the Ross here. It's not my favorite but it's decent most times. On occasion I'll pop into DSW! My go to for alterations is the cleaners. They do an amazing job with reasonable prices. I like that they've added a CAVA! Parking is never an issue!

Restaurants are Potbelly, Famous Dave's, Red Lobster, Chipotle, Wendy's, and Teppanyaki buffet. Sorry if I missed any, they're all pretty forgettable. There are entrances from US 1 southbound, and exit only in that direction, plus traffic lights on the roads at either end if you need to go northbound. Be careful of pedestrians (and of cars when walking) because the main traffic lanes are between the stores and the parking.
