Amenities for Group Tours

Tourism Brantford’s Tourism Information Desk has moved to a new location inside the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre at 254 North Park St. In addition to washroom facilities, you'll also find brochures, merchandise and much more. Read on to learn more about the amenities and services that our team can provide to your group tour. 

Convenient Location

The new location is centrally located near highway access (Exit #36) and major corridors to connect you with local shopping, dining, accommodations, outdoor recreation and attractions. While you're here, be sure to schedule enough time in your itinerary to visit the Brantford and Area Sports Hall of Recognition, a 3,000 square foot space inside the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre which proudly recognizes Brantford’s hometown athletes and sport builders who have achieved the highest standards of excellence in their chosen sport and whose contributions have been significant.

Public Art

Outside the main entrance to Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre you'll find “The Great One”, a 12-foot bronze-cast sculpture of Wayne Gretzky hoisting the Stanley Cup over his head in victory. A life size depiction of Wayne as a child, with parents Walter and Phyllis Gretzky, stand together and look on. Bring your camera and don’t miss the perfect photo opportunity with your group. Nearby, you'll also find a piece from Brantford’s Grand Exhibit, twelve to-scale reproductions from the permanent collection at Glenhyrst Art Gallery of Brant.
