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
A must-visit in Toronto! The Hockey Hall of Fame is impressive for both die-hard fans and those just discovering the sport. You can get up close to the Stanley Cup, see historic memorabilia, and enjoy very well-designed interactive exhibits. You truly feel the passion of Canadian hockey. A memorable experience I highly recommend!

This place was such a hit. Even if you’re not a die-hard hockey fan, it’s hard not to get swept up in the fun. Tons of memorabilia, jerseys, old-school skates, and of course, the Stanley Cup.
We got to play an interactive shootout game, try out being a goalie, and even pretend we were broadcasters on SportsNet. Our kid was in heaven, and honestly, so were we. We stayed almost two hours and loved every minute. Bonus: the stamp on your hand lets you come back all day!

A must visit for any hockey enthusiast. Spent a few hours going through all the exhibits. In addition, great interactive exhibits where you can take shots on goal and become a goaltender. My favorite part was the trophy room. All the key trophies including the opportunity to get your photo taken with the Stanley Cup. Give yourself plenty of time and enjoy!

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.
This 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.
Really enjoyed several hours there.

Awesome spot to spend a few hours, really loved the variety of items on display and the feature hall was adorned with memorabilia from hockey stars. Clean place, it's unfortunately a maze when you're inside and there is zero flow or direction so you'll walk through the same section a few times. Gift shop was fairly disappointing though.
