Full Description
The Hockey Hall of Fame in Brookfield Place
The Hockey Hall of Fame celebrates the history of hockey with the world's largest collection of hockey artefacts, from early skates and sticks to modern equipment. It moved to its present site in downtown Toronto in the 1990s, at the corner of Yonge and Front Streets inside Brookfield Place, close to Union Station.
Many visitors search for Hockey Hall of Fame tickets because it is one of the most distinctive attractions in the city, whether or not you follow the sport. You can spend an hour or half a day, and the exhibits are designed to be understood by first-time fans.
The Great Hall, the Stanley Cup and the trophy vault
The Great Hall is the museum's most impressive room, a grand old bank hall with a domed ceiling and stained glass, where plaques honour the players and builders inducted into the Hall of Fame. Nearby, the Stanley Cup, the oldest and most famous trophy in professional hockey, is on display.
The trophy vault holds retired jerseys, championship rings and league trophies, and it is where most visitors take their photographs. Your ticket includes access to all of it, though souvenir trophy photos are an extra.
Interactive games, goaltending and the feature film
This is the part children remember most. In the interactive rink you can take a shot on a goalie or try to stop one yourself against life-size animated players, and there are more games and broadcast-style exhibits around the building.
A feature film about the sport is included with admission, and it makes a good rest between the games. The exhibits are meant to be touched, so bring energy and allow enough time to queue for the most popular ones. Younger fans can shoot at the net while parents watch from the side, so it is a good place to spend an hour together.
Planning your visit: hours, timing and location
The ticket is valid from 10:00 to 17:00 on the day you choose, and hours are longer in summer, over school holidays and March Break, and the museum closes on some public holidays. If you are asking how to get to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Union Station and the PATH walkway are just steps away.
The average visit takes about three hours, and re-entry the same day is allowed, so you can step out for lunch and return. Lockers and coat check are not available, so travel light.
