Arriving
Open-air amphitheatre at Ontario Place, across Lake Shore Boulevard from Exhibition Place. Exhibition GO and the Exhibition streetcar loop are the transit way in; from the loop it is a walk south across Lake Shore on the pedestrian bridge.
Parking is the Ontario Place and Exhibition Place lots, which sell out for big shows; the Lake Shore and Gardiner approaches jam before doors.

Drive times are OSRM’s on empty roads, the same best-case figure as the map’s suburban lens; game nights run far slower. The taxi figure is the City of Toronto meter rate ($4.25 plus $1.75/km, as of 2026-10) on that distance, the only published benchmark; rideshare prices aren’t published and surge after events. GO Transit riders transfer to the TTC free under One Fare, so a GO trip to Union plus the subway or streetcar to the venue costs the GO fare alone.
