Ride Your Bike
Easy To Access
To get to the CNE, just follow the Martin Goodman Trail along the waterfront to Lakeshore Boulevard and British Columbia Road (Dufferin Street).
The Martin Goodman Trail is the Toronto stretch of the Waterfront Trail, which runs along the Canadian shores of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. Visitors can learn more about this trail or find details of access points by visiting the Waterfront Trail Regeneration Trust website.
Where to Park Your Bike
Parking for bikes is available outside the Saskatchewan Gate (west end at Dufferin) and the Princes' Gates (east end of grounds at Strachan).
Arriving By Vehicle
The Canadian National Exhibition is located near the heart of downtown Toronto on the shore of Lake Ontario. Take the Toronto bound Queen Elizabeth Way or Lakeshore Boulevard and follow the signs to the CNE/Exhibition Place.
Leave Yourself Plenty of Time
The exit to the CNE travelling east towards Toronto on the Gardiner Expressway at Jameson Avenue is CLOSED for bridge construction and will not be accessible during the CNE.
If you choose to drive to the CNE from the west end, exit the Gardiner Expressway East onto Lakeshore Boulevard East. This ramp is signed (follow the yellow CNE signs) and is located just west of the Humber River.
The Gardiner Expressway both eastbound and westbound will be reduced to two lanes during the CNE.
