That business is directly adjacent to the park entrance at the intersection of Germantown Pike and North Whales Road. From there, continue into the park and follow the directions below.
When you arrive at the intersection of Germantown Pike and North Wales Road, turn at the light heading into the Barley Sheaf apartment complex and stay to the right, go through the main gate, and FOLLOW SIGNS TO THE PARK OFFICE/VISITOR CENTER.
