Hockey Hall of Fame

An absolute must-visit for any hockey fan! From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by the incredible history of the game. Seeing the Stanley Cup was of course the highlight. Don't forget to look up when you are in that room!nnWe spent a long time wandering around, reading everything and just taking it all in. There are interactive exhibits as well, which would be really fun for kids.nnThere is so much amazing history here. If you are a hockey fan, this is a must visit place!

An exceptional visit! I was able to check off another item from the personal bucket list. Whether a hockey fan, or not, visiting the Hall of Fame in Toronto is highly recommended must see. Great time! My wife, a fan of museums, but not necessarily hockey, enjoyed visiting. A few hours minimum is required for a thorough in-depth visit. Note: the best access to the hall is through a mall entrance. There is a vast collection, including items such as uniforms, sticks, pucks, memorabilia, and interesting details from the entire National Hockey League, portions of the WHA such as the champion Houston Aeros. Also included are details from various American and Canadian minor leagues and even distant far-flung global league uniforms such as from Australia!nnPersonally the most interesting area was in the Grand Hall where the pictorials for the inductees are found. As well, the Grand Hall is where the current Stanley Cup and earlier versions can be viewed. Ours was an interesting and a very enjoyable afternoon. The HOF is well worth visiting!

A must see for any Ice Hockey Fans! I visited on a Monday mid-afternoon so it wasn't too busy. Didn't have to pre-buy tickets, but I would recommend doing so for weekends and holidays. Staff were friendly.nMainly focused on teams and players in Canada and the USA- but has an exhibit dedicated to Teams from all over the World!nPlus you get to see the Current and Original Stanley Cups which is amazing!

I'd visited here as a kid with my family, but on a solo trip back to the city, I decided to visit again since it had been a long time. Very informative, and it's cool that there are displays for the IIHF and women's hockey as well! Definitely a must visit for any hockey fan.

I spent all day here, from opening to close…to give a hint at how much I loved it here. Unlike the baseball and football halls of fame, which feel stuff, self-important, and frankly boring, the Hockey Hall of Fame is bright, vibrant, with loads of ways to explore and interact within the museum thanks to QR codes and “quests” to complete. See Rocket Richard’s 500th goal puck? Scan to QR code to watch the goal! Find a cool artifact and want to learn more? You can watch the conservator talk more about it. Beyond the 100+ year history of hockey as a sport and the NHL in general are also games where you can shoot a foam puck on goalies…or become a goalie yourself! And I haven’t yet gotten to the Great Hall, a former bank turned into a stunningly gorgeous “cathedral to hockey”, with the famous Stanley Cup and other trophies. The old bank vault now holds the most historic of treasures, a fun touch! Absolutely anyone can come in here and have fun.nnNOTE: the HHOF is in the basement of the Brookfield Building. There are signs all over telling you how to get to the entrance but you will head downstairs. When you buy your ticket, your hand gets stamped for reentry…the basement of Brookfield Building has a food court with well over a dozen stalls, perfect for lunch or a snack.
