The Peterborough casino at 3800 Fisher Drive works differently. Peterborough Transit Route 5 The Parkway serves it every day, at the stop "Fisher at Shorelines Casino". Parking there is complimentary as well. That stop serves the Peterborough casino only, not the racetrack, which sits 7.7 km away in a straight line.

Road routes to each one open in Google Maps from the venue's address, 1382 County Road 28.
