IWK Health is centrally located, near Dalhousie University, just a little bit southwest of downtown Halifax. You can easily get here by bus, taxi, car, or active transportation.
By car
Bounded by University Avenue, Robie Street, and South Street, the IWK is easy to find by car. Our multi-level public parkade is located on University Avenue for patient, family, and visitor use. See our Parking Information page for details on rates.
By taxi
Your taxi driver will need to know the specific IWK entrance to drop you off at (or pick you up at)—for example the IWK Women’s Building entrance on University, or the IWK Children’s Building entrance on South Street.
