At Union Avenue and Circular Street turn right, then take your first left onto Spring Street. At the traffic light at the top of the hill, turn right onto Broadway. Proceed straight through six traffic lights onto North Broadway, and continue about one mile to the Skidmore campus. The main campus entrance is on the left.

Parking is available on site. From Saratoga, right off Nelson Avenue into the parking lot for the racetrack and at the far end of the parking lot the bus stop is located on the right hand side at the covered entrance to the casino.
