Had the pleasure of attending my sons lacrosse game at the Galt Arena Gardens in Cambridge recently. With my kids involvement in sports, I often feel like an Uber driver, carting my family around from arena to rink to field all over southern Ontario. The Galt Arena is a grand old building which was apparently first built in 1921 and is one of the oldest in Ontario. From the moment you set foot in the building, you can almost feel the history oozing out of the walls. It’s like a mini Maple Leaf Gardens and truly shows the age of the facility from everything ranging from the light fixtures to the brickwork on the outside of the building. The building itself is nestled in an older part of the city amidst a myriad of narrow, one way streets and amongst a mish mash of residential homes ranging from post war bungalows to century homes to old victorians. Everything from the entrance to the buildings facade sets this arena apart from most others we have visited. The arena seats 1100 people and is not the typical community rink that is used for local Houseleague games. There is actual stadium seating rather than bleachers or cold metal benches for fans to sit and watch whatever is being played on the game surface. We happened to be there for a lacrosse game. The scoreboard is an actual suspended, four-sided one right over centre ice, unlike the flat ones mounted on the wall of most of the arenas we’ve played in. Great experience for the kids because it certainly gave the feel and experience of playing in a pro arena. In the almost 100 years since the building was first built, several teams have played out of the building, with the most recent being the Cambridge Winterhawks of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League (Junior B). Apparently hockey legend, Gordie Howe played a season with the Galt Red Wings back in the 40s, before entering the NHL. His lone season in the arena is commemorated on one end of the arena with a giant mural. The Galt is a beautiful old arena steeped in hockey and local history with several NHL luminaries making their way through the buildings hallowed halls before entering the pros. There are two large parking lots on either side of the arena, however I’m not sure if it is enough, particularly if the building is actually filled to capacity. While there is a concession stand inside the arena, I don’t know what else is around or in the immediate area with regards to food choices that is nearby or within walking distance. It is not that close to the highway either, so access to the arena is not great and can somewhat be challenging for those coming from out of town. Change rooms are on the smaller side but are clean and well lit. Overall, an amazing old barn and can’t wait to come back!

With its retractable roof, in-house hotel and Hard Rock Cafe, the home turf of the Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Argonauts is truly a sight to see.

My father, has a disability and needs a walker, called the dome and they set up handicap parking underneath the dome. We walked twenty feet to the elevator. Then to the 100 section seats which was another twenty feet, unbelievable, so easy, so convenient, just a great afternoon at the ball park. The Jay's and the dome make it so accessible for disabled people to enjoy the game, bravo, your the best

I would have to say that for any hockey game, venue, or concert I have attended and sat in many different seats and all are great. This place is great for hockey games watching with amazing crowds all around, polite helpful and friendly staff and the cleanliness of the place is very kept up. I think I may have been the first person to attend a game with an electronic ticket on my cell phone and instead of turning me away not mowing what it was the door staff was very helpful as to gaining knowledge on this type of ticket quickly then allowing me to enter. Thanks and keep up the good work. Also if looking for a place to walk around in the rain or winter months or just to hot outside, try out this place as they allow people in on none concert and game days
