Elk Island National Park

How does it work?

‍

Guests must reserve a seat by registering online at Parkbus.ca. A $15 deposit (per person) is required and will be refunded to participants who arrive on-time for their scheduled departure. Regular park entry fees apply ($8.50 per adult, $7.25 per senior), and will be deducted automatically from the deposit - unless you have Parks Canada Discovery Pass. Parks Canada Discovery Pass holders must bring their pass on the bus.

‍

Where will the bus stop?

‍

Upon arrival to Elk Island National Park, the TD Elk Island Express will stop at the Elk Island National Park Visitor Information Centre where Parks Canada team will meet the passengers and offer a one-hour behind the scenes tour! Guests can also learn about the history of the park, browse local Indigenous artisan crafts and official Parks Canada merchandise. Following this stop, TD Elk Island Express guests have the opportunity to watch for wildlife as they are transported 20 minutes north to the Astotin Lake Recreation Area, where they will spend the rest of the time of the visit.

‍

Guests have approximately four hours to enjoy a range of self-directed activities in this area: join an interpretive program, enjoy a picnic on the beach, play on the brand new playground or watch birds and other wildlife from the Living Waters Boardwalk.
