Getting there: the drive, the coach and the last 5 km

The resort is just past Orillia, on the Rama side of the Atherley Narrows. Most people drive, a coach runs from the GTA, and there is no published public transit route to the door.

Distances are our own road calculations, made without traffic. Times depend heavily on the day and the season, so open the route in Google Maps on the day you travel. The resort's 2020 directions give 123.4 km and about 80 minutes from Toronto, and its hotel page says 90 minutes.

The drive, in numbered steps

From Toronto, take Highway 400 north past Barrie.
Keep right for Highway 11 north toward Orillia and North Bay.
Leave at Exit 131A for Highway 12 south.
Follow Atherley Road and cross the narrows.
Turn left onto Rama Road (County Road 44).
Drive about 5.2 km. The resort is on the right.
Self-parking is free and holds more than 2,500 vehicles. Casino valet runs around the clock from Friday at 4 PM to Monday at 2 AM, at $28 including HST. Hotel valet for registered guests costs the same.

Driving tips we actually use

Leave early on Friday. Cottage-season Friday afternoons are the slowest time on the northbound 400; an early start or an evening start both beat the middle.
Know your last landmark. The resort's own directions use the gas station across Rama Road from the entrance as the marker for the turn in.
Respect Highway 11 in winter. Lake-effect squalls can turn a clear drive white in minutes. Slow down, leave space, and check Ontario 511 before leaving.
On show nights, arrive early. Leave time to park, check in and eat before doors.
Do not drive after drinking or after a long night. That is the reason the suite exists.

The VIP coach from the GTA

The resort lists an express coach run by TOK Coachlines from the GTA seven days a week, with extra pick-ups on Saturdays and Sundays and free Wi-Fi on board. Riders must be 19 or older and members of the resort's loyalty club, which is free to join. Reservations get priority, and walk-ons board if there is a seat. A newer pick-up point is the carpool lot at Highway 7 and Colossus Drive in Vaughan. The page gives conflicting information about fares, so confirm the price when you book on 1-888-817-7262. The coach suits a day trip; for a hotel stay, check the return schedule first.

Public transport and taxis

We could not confirm any public transit route to the resort. People without a car usually take an intercity bus to Orillia and then a taxi for the last 11 km or so; check the bus operator's own timetable. The resort also lists charter coach operators for groups.

From the airport

Toronto Pearson is about 140 km away by road, and there is no published shuttle. Rent a car or book a private transfer. If you are flying in for a show, arrive the day before.
