Hockey Hall of Fame
The Hockey Hall of Fame is an absolute must see for hockey fans visiting Toronto
Hockey, a sport that defines Canada like no other, has caught on in over 70 countries around the world. More than just a sports museum, the Hockey Hall of Fame is an exciting, immersive and hands-on celebration of the game of hockey.
With over 65,000 square feet of exhibits, the Hockey Hall of Fame offers something for everyone. You'll get to see an outstanding collection of hockey artifacts representing all levels of play from around the world. Participate in hands-on games where you'll face-off against animated, life-size versions of some of the best players of the day. Browse through themed exhibits devoted to hockey's stellar players, teams and achievements. There are also theatres, bigger-than-life statues and a replica NHL dressing room for you to check out. Last, but not least, are the NHL trophies including, best of all, hands-on access to the Stanley Cup itself, centrepiece of the Great Hall. A replica is used when the real cup is 'travelling' outside its home at the Hall.
In addition to its role as a museum of hockey history and memorabilia, the Hockey Hall of Fame has the mandate of honouring great hockey players. Players inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame are selected by a process of nomination and secret ballot by a selection committee made up of 18 persons with knowledge and expertise in various areas of the sport. Some notable inductees include Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Guy Lafleur, and Mario Lemieux.
At the end of your visit be sure to check out the extensive collection of hockey merchandise and memorabilia in the store. You can be sure of scoring some great souvenirs that you will be proud to add to your own collection.

Hockey Hall of Fame Reviews
Rated out of 5![]()
We had a wonderful experience at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. It’s definitely worth visiting, especially if you’re going with kids or if you have any interest in hockey and Canadian sports culture.
There’s a great mix of hockey history, memorabilia, famous jerseys, equipment, trophies, and interactive activities. Of course, seeing the Stanley Cup is one of the highlights, but what made the visit especially enjoyable for us were the interactive games for kids. There are several opportunities to test your hockey skills, take shots, play goalie, and enjoy other hockey-related activities. My daughter really enjoyed this part of the visit.
One important tip: before playing some of the interactive games, don’t forget to register. They can record your experience and send the video to you afterward, which is a really nice souvenir from the visit. It’s easy to miss this step if you’re excited to start playing, so I definitely recommend registering first.
The museum is well organized and there’s enough to see and do to spend a couple of hours without getting bored. It works very well for both adults and children, even if the kids aren’t serious hockey fans.
Another nice bonus is that after finishing your visit, you can stop by Tim Hortons near the exit. It’s very convenient to grab a coffee, drink, or something to eat after walking around the museum.
Overall, we really enjoyed our visit. It’s educational, entertaining, interactive, and very family-friendly. If you’re visiting downtown Toronto with kids, I’d definitely recommend adding the Hockey Hall of Fame to your list.

If you’re a hockey fan, this is a must! Awesome self guided tour with so much to see and do. They had interactive exhibits for shooting and goaltending that both the kids and adults in our group had so much fun with.
The staff were knowledgeable and friendly with hockey questions and information.
Would definitely recommend going on a weekday as it was not too busy at all.
So many cool exhibits to see — we have a local USHL team where we live and house players, it would be really cool to keep a USHL exhibit with jerseys permanently and not just in the “year in review” section but regardless it was fun to see.

An amazing experience at the Hockey Hall of Fame! 🏒 Glad they did an upgrade to the exhibit.
Getting to see the Stanley Cup up close was definitely a highlight and something I’ll never forget. I was also pleasantly surprised to see both Singapore and Hong Kong hockey jerseys on display — such a cool and unexpected touch!
A must-visit for any ice hockey fan, with so much history, trophies and memorabilia to explore. Highly recommended! 🏆🏒

If you have any interest in hockey this is a must. Prob could use more movies and interactive displays cuz the ones they have are great. Get your picture with the Cup, try your hand at goalie and test your wrist shot. Find your favorite player, really awesome place and one of the highlights of our trip.

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!
Personally 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!
