About

Note: Proof of vaccination required to visit this facility, in accordance with the province of Ontario.

See the most incredible lacrosse players in Ontario, video presentations, a lacrosse shooting gallery and plenty of history. Canada's national sport is recognized in the best surroundings with featured displays and permanent exhibits.

Lacrosse, together with hockey, shares recognition as one of Canada's two official national sports. Its origins date back hundreds of years. Lacrosse has had lasting influence on the culture of the province of Ontario. Ontario has, by far, the largest number and most active registered participants of an organized lacrosse body in Canada. Even though there is a Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, the number of annual Inductees is limited by a quota and thus there are many deserving of recognition who will never be inducted.

The Museum is open daily for 90 minute sessions from:

9 – 10:30 a.m.; 11 a.m.– 12:30 p.m., 1-2:30 p.m. and 3-4:30 p.m.

You are welcome to visit for more than one session. Between sessions visitors must exit to allow enhanced cleaning procedures.
