Hockey Hall of Fame

We are a family of native Texan ice hockey lovers. We moved to Dallas the same year the Stars moved to Dallas in 1993 and picked it up immediately. My first son had just been born. Now threec of my son's do a regular Dallas Stars podcast.nnThis visit was wonderful. Really loved the history and memorabilia. The goalie mask display was the coolest visually. We saved the trophy room for last. The actual cup was in Florida getting repaired and ready for the Panthers' parade which I think made the crowd much smaller than normal. We have had several pictures with the cup, so that didn't really bother us. The original smaller cup was in the vault maybe that was a replica too? but the overall presentation and trophy room was spectacular.nnReally enjoyed several hours there.

Great exhibit if you're a hockey fan. Last time I visited was 25 years ago and they had the Wayne Gretzky exhibit. So it was a nice change to see the interactive shooting and goal saving games. Great hall was neat. I asked about the Stanley Cup and they said the exhibit version is permanently at the Hall, while the presentation one is the one the Panthers have. The only difference are the bands of teams on them. Which makes sense that you would not have a ten foot long Cup, but a rotation of the bands over time.

If you are a hockey fan, this is a must-go. The Great Hall with the NHL's famed trophies is beautiful, Lord Stanley's Vault is a nice touch, but I especially loved the interactive zones where you can try to score on a virtual goalie or make a save against a virtual shooter. Definitely a fun place to check out.

The Hockey Hall of Fame is a must visit for any hockey fan. Located in downtown Toronto, it’s packed with incredible exhibits, interactive games, and historic memorabilia that bring the sport’s history to life. The Stanley Cup display is a major highlight, and getting to see the Great Hall with all the legendary player plaques is a surreal experience. The interactive zones, like the goaltending and shooting challenges, make it fun for all ages. Whether you’re a die hard fan or just learning about hockey, there’s plenty to enjoy. The collection of jerseys, trophies, and rare artifacts adds to the excitement.

Great establishment, even for none hockey enthusiasts. All the trophies are safely kept there, and they have a lot of interactive activities for kids of all ages. Also, the building's architecture is a wonderful blend of new and old architecture. It's worth the trip.
