Description and Basic Information ::

 A visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame is as explosive an experience as the game itself. Whether you’re an avid hockey fan, a recreational hockey player, a hockey mom, or a wannabe Gretzky, the hall offers interactive entertainment for the whole family as you to make your way through the many fun-filled Zones that divide the hall.
In the Household Family Zone, share the feeling of Hockey Night in Canada when families gathered around the TV in the 1950s to watch the Saturday night hockey game. The television set plays footage of real hockey games and commercials. Relive the 6 a.m. scene, the time many families headed to morning practices, or drop in on hockey’s famous families. Eavesdrop on the players in the full-scale Video Dressing Room Zone of the Montreal Canadians. Watch their pre-game rituals and routines, or get a handle on the newest sports medicine.
The Marquee Zone displays a collection of goalie masks from early leather masks to the flamboyantly painted and sculpted masks of today. At the Rink Zone, a live shooting booth allows visitors a chance to compete with TV monitors. For a small fee, you can don pads at the Impact Zone and play at all levels against a video which fires sponge pucks at you. Other Zones include the History Zone, the Broadcast Zone, the Arena Zone and the North American Zone.
If all that action leaves you a little weary, relax and take in a few films on the development of hockey in the two theaters. But one experience that will stay with you is a visit to the Great Hall. Here, in the 45-foot-high banking hall under a resplendent stained glass dome, stands the Stanley Cup, North America’s oldest hockey trophy. On display behind the trophy are the biographies and portraits of the members who have been honored in the Hockey Hall of Fame. The Hockey Hall of Fame is wheelchair and stroller accessible.
There is also a family rate of $32, which includes 2 adults and 2 youth, each additional youth $6. While the prices seem steep, the admission is for the whole day, so come and go as you please. They’ll stamp your hand to allow multiple entries. |
