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.

This place is amazing!! A must visit for any hockey fan, even if you are not into hockey you must go! We did not know what to expect going in but the displays are great and very visual. We loved it and didn't want to leave. We found it neat they had beyond the NHL, international, Olympic, etc. the Lord Stanley vault is a perfect tribute. Definitely will be going back.
There were cool interactive hockey games(goalie and shooting) that are free with admission. Great for kids and adults !

There is so much history to see, and so many great stories told through displays, photos, memrobelia, etc.... this place is the holy cathedral of all things hockey. There is history, technical information, interactive hands on activities, movie presentations, the list is limitless. Simply stunning. The trophy room, and ring vault.... Quite literally feels like a church with the stained glass and domed ceiling.... It is impressive beyond description. To be in the presence of so much history is amazing. So glad we went, and look forward to going back!

So much fun with the interactive exhibits at the hockey hall of fame. Great place to bring family. Wish there was a component that talked more about the history and evolution of hockey.

For a die hard hockey fan which place would be a dream visit for them, for me not such one was great place to learn about the players, history or the sport and also the imprint it has throughout the world, as I learnt loads about the sport I didn't know.
Loads to look at throughout the Hall of Fame and the layout is perfect to flow into all the different areas, it's also very interactive for not only younger people but people of all ages. It's a place to visit and you don't feel rushed through as it's self paced, everyone is respectful of everyone else and plenty of photo opportunities of places you might not ever get the chance too.
I especially enjoyed learning about the history of the Stanley Cup and himself in the vault and getting to see the Stanley Cup in person is something I would have never got to do, so this was a nice way to end the visit.

Of course, the Stanley cup was highlight. But I actually enjoy the history. The displays were all different and really nice. The vault was very interesting and had a lot of history. We thought we just just be an hour or so ended up staying 3 it was that good. Highly recommend.
