Getting there
By car, by ferry or on foot
The sheet below sorts what is on record by the way you arrive: by car, by ferry or on foot along the harbour. Further down, distances from towns across Nova Scotia are straight lines between map coordinates, so roads run longer.

Coming by car
Casino Nova Scotia Halifax has paid parking on site at 1983 Upper Water St. The price is not published, so ask at 902-425-7777 if it matters to your plans. The Player's Club, the loyalty card for both Nova Scotia casinos, lists parking among its member benefits. Those benefits are based on play and not guaranteed, so do not count on the card to cover parking.
A few things drivers ask about are not published at all: garage details, height limits, valet, EV charging and RV parking. If you drive something tall or need to charge, call before you leave home.

Driving in from around the province
From close in, the straight lines are short: Dartmouth is 3 km from the casino, Bedford 11 km and Lower Sackville 16 km. Further out, Windsor is 58 km, Lunenburg 66 km, Wolfville 79 km, Bridgewater 81 km and Truro 82 km. Truro lies north of the casino, and Lunenburg to the south-west.
The longer lines run to New Glasgow at 127 km, Antigonish at 165 km, Yarmouth at 222 km and Sydney at 311 km. Each figure is measured between map coordinates, so the road you drive will be longer. Travel times are not estimated here. All hours in this guide are Atlantic time (America/Halifax).

Ferry and the boardwalk
Two ferry terminals are mapped on the Dartmouth side. The Dartmouth Ferry Terminal on Alderney Drive sits 1.35 km from the casino, and the Woodside Ferry Terminal 2.14 km. On the Halifax side, the George Street ferry terminal is 0.49 km south-east of the building. Mapped stretches of the Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk, much of it wooden and lit at night, follow the harbour edge between the two. Its nearest stretch passes 0.03 km from the casino building.
All of these are straight lines, and walking routes are longer. No shuttle or taxi stand is published for the casino, so plan the last part on foot.
