Driving to Foxwoods? (I know it's repetitive)

Grifter · #1 05-10-2006, 11:43 AM

So I know this has been covered before, but I can't seem to find it using the search. I wanted to know the best way to drive to Foxwoods from Boston. I am thinking 90 west to 395 south, but I know there are a couple of different ways. Also, what is the parking situation there? Do I have to use a park 'n ride type system, or can I park at a lot connected to the casino? I apologize for rehashing. Any information on driving and/or parking at Foxwoods would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Penty of parking, including valet at the casino. Use the rainmaker entrance for the poker room. I think it's the second light.

Personally, I go down 95 but then I'm a bit south of Boston. My choice is whether to go through or around providence and that's just a time of day issue.

this is like the limit vs no limit question to tell you the truth. I honestly believe where you're coming from in boston makes a huge difference. Also, if taking 95 south will put you in providence between 3-7 pm on a weekday, take 90-395 route.

You can take 295 around providence. It takes a little longer or shorter depending on what traffic is like in providence

For poker parking, park at the new Rainmaker parking lot. It puts you into the casino next to the Hard Rock Cafe, then just go into the first slot entrance and take the escalators right down to the poker room.

I'm further south than you, but pretty sure that 95 is the most direct route, as long as you avoid Providence for rush hour. You can take 295 aronud it [exit 4 from 95 in MA] but it's not always a great help, try to catch a traffic report.

South of Boston, it might be a push, but Boston, west and north, 90 to 395 is the way to go.
