By plane
The nearest airport to Surrey is Vancouver International Airport in nearby Richmond. Surrey is a 30 minute drive from the airport via Highway 91. Taxis and airport limosines available at the airport will also take you to Surrey.
By public transit
Surrey is part of the regional Translink transit system, but has few bus connections with neighbouring municipalities. Bus #301 provides service to Richmond, while #501 and #502 connect to Langley.
The Expo Line Skytrain connects Surrey to Vancouver, with stops in Burnaby and New Westminster along the way. The end of the line is at the King George station, which is about a 45 min trip from Waterfront Station in downtown Vancouver.
By car
Both of Greater Vancouver's two major freeways, Highway 1 (the Trans-Canada) and Highway 99, run directly through Surrey, linking it with Fraser Valley to the east and Vancouver and its eastern suburbs to the west. It also has two secondary highways: Highway 91 links Highway 99 with the suburbs of Burnaby and New Westminster, and the Pacific Highway (BC 15) links BC 1 with the USA/Canada border at Blaine.

Barnston Island Ferry, Port Kells (North end of 104th Street, south bank of Fraser River), M-Th 6:15AM-11:55PM, F-Su 6:15AM-12:55PM. Barnston is a small island, only about 2-3 square miles. You get to it by taking a 5 minute ferry ride across Parson's Channel to the island. The ferry ride is free. The ferry is a barge operated by a small tug which serves Barnston Island. The ferry holds only about 7 vehicles per sailing, and, you have to back on the ferry on the return trip. It is a very unique and a fun experience. Barnston Island is flat, with not much on there but farms. It is under the landing circuit for Pitt Meadows airport just to the north, so you can frequently see small planes 1000' overhead. It takes about an hour to bike around the whole island.
The Surrey Museum is affiliated with CMA, CHIN, and Virtual Museum of Canada.
