Hockey Hall of Fame

If you love hockey, this place is amazing! I've been twice and enjoyed every minutes of it. My girlfriend, who is a casual fan, loved it too. There's a great mix a historical facts, impressive expositions and interactive activities (i.e., shot the puck, block shots, trivia, etc) The awards section is very impressive!

This is great for a rainy day; all of hockey history is in one building. Allot to take in at once. The Stanley Cup is also on display among all the other trophy's amazing to read all the names.

Spent 5 hours here! Surprisingly cheap ticket price. Lots and lots of stuff but I kind of wish they told more stories on their plaques instead of just being like this stick was used by so and so. Some of the plaques (especially in the IIHF section) were really cluttered too and could use a redesign. Wish they had a hall of every jersey and alternate jersey they could get their hands on too but maybe that's just because I love jerseys. The trophy room was really cool though and even though the real Stanley Cup wasn't there the replica is completely up to date and is the same material and everything and you can touch it which is a great feeling. I'm told you can touch the real one too when it's there. The respect for women's hockey is really cool too and they're no small part either. My one major complaint is that it closes so early. 5pm!?!? I got there at 12 and enjoyed it so much more than I thought but I had to be ushered out and didn't even get to go to the shop to look at jerseys :(

We know very little about hockey. We went there based on lots of positive reviews assuming it would help us understand history and rules of hockey. It didn't. We found exactly one little spot about history and nothing about the rules. This venue must be awesome for fans but it didn't work for us at all. OK we did have fun trying to score goals in the simulation game, but that is about it.
