Getting to Waterloo:

By air

The most convenient airport is Toronto's Pearson International (YYZ)

  • If coming from Pearson by car, follow the signs onto Highway 401 West, then follow "By Car" instructions below. Travel time is an hour and 15 mins outside of rush hour.
  • Follow signs for ground transportation to find an airport taxi.  It can be cheaper to pre-book a Waterloo Taxi or Uber.  Airways Transit has door-to-door shuttle service and a scheduled bus service (4 times a day) to and from Pearson.
  • Before booking through Pearson, it's worth checking to see if you can get a flight to Kitchener-Waterloo airport (YKF). This means flying American Airlines and changing in Chicago, or flying WestJet & changing in Calgary. From K-W airport a taxi is about $30 and takes about 30 minutes, shaving half an hour off the Toronto option.

By car (from Highway 401)

  1. Take exit 278 for Hwy 8 (to Kitchener / Waterloo)
  2. After about 8 km exit right at onto Hwy 85 to Waterloo
  3. After about 8 km take University Ave West exit
  4. The University is about 3km west on University Ave at Seagram on the North side. You will see a large sign.
