Hotels near Hockey Hall of Fame

The Hockey Hall of Fame is the official museum of professional ice hockey - housed in the former 1885 Bank of Montreal building at Yonge and Front Streets in downtown Toronto. The 5570 square-metre museum displays the Stanley Cup itself (the most important trophy in North American sport), the rings and jerseys of every Hockey Hall of Fame inductee since 1945, and interactive exhibits letting visitors take penalty shots and call play-by-play.

Highlights include touching the actual Stanley Cup, viewing the 1972 Summit Series Soviet jerseys, and the NHL Zone with regular Hall of Famer meet-and-greets. Adult admission 25 CAD. Open daily 09:30-18:00. Allow 2-3 hours. Located inside Brookfield Place; entrance off the Pubs of Yonge Street strip. Combine with a Toronto Maple Leafs game at Scotiabank Arena 2 blocks away if your trip dates align.

Pro Tip: Photo with the actual Stanley Cup is the standout experience - they pull it out hourly for visitor photos. Combine with a Toronto Maple Leafs game (only if you can secure tickets at Scotiabank Arena - usually 300+ CAD on the secondary market).
