Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car from anywhere in the British Columbia Interior, start by getting onto the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1). Follow the highway eastbound towards Calgary. Once you reach Calgary, take the exit for Highway 2 South towards Lethbridge. Continue on Highway 2 until you reach the junction with Highway 401. Merge onto Highway 401 East towards Toronto. Follow this highway all the way into Toronto. Once you approach downtown, take the Gardiner Expressway exit. Follow the signs for Fort York Boulevard. After exiting, continue straight on Fort York Boulevard until you reach 250 Fort York Blvd, which is the location of the Fort York Visitor Centre. Be aware of potential tolls on the highways and check for any parking fees in downtown Toronto.

• Public Transportation

  If you are opting for public transportation, you will first need to book a bus or train ticket from your location in the British Columbia Interior to Toronto. VIA Rail and Greyhound are two common options. Once you arrive in Toronto, you can use the TTC subway system. Head to Union Station and take the subway Line 1 (Yonge-University) northbound to St. Andrew Station. From there, transfer to Line 5 (Eglinton) at the next station, and ride to the Spadina Avenue stop. Exit and board the 510 streetcar at Spadina and Queen, heading westbound. Get off at the Fort York Blvd stop. Walk east on Fort York Blvd for a short distance until you reach the Fort York Visitor Centre at 250 Fort York Blvd. Make sure to check the schedules for the transit services as well as potential fares.
