We’re an engaging, family-friendly museum with more than 100 canoes and kayaks on display. Visitors will enjoy interactive, hands-on galleries, a scavenger hunt, model canoe building and puppet theatre for children.
Our museum store offers a wide range of canoe-themed clothing, books, artwork, media and gifts. We offer free parking, and we’re accessible. You can sign up for classes, hands-on workshops, camps, guided tours and membership. Facility rentals for weddings, conferences, meetings and dinners are available.
We are proud to teach skill levels laid out by the Ontario Recreational Canoeing & Kayaking Association (ORCKA). Our ORCKA-certified instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and keen to help you make the most out of your time on the water.
