Housed inside a beautiful building with a dome assembled of stained glass sits my favorite Toronto destination, the Hockey Hall of Fame. Inside you'll find amazing artifacts from legendary games and athletes not just from the National Hockey League but from throughout the world. The museum is always changing as new artifacts are acquired on a regular basis.
There is an interactive area where you can suit up to be a goalie and have a puck fired towards you, and you can test your slapshot skills on the opposite side as well by taking a shot towards a computer-generated goalie.
All of the fabulous NHL trophies are on display including Lord Stanley's Cup which you can pose for a photo with. Look for and learn about some of the greatest players ever to have played the game. Statues, artwork, anything and everything related to hockey is on display. The Hartland Molson Theatre is fairly new and seats about 120 people with an always changing program of films and documentaries. I visited the theatre for the first time earlier this year, and I loved the experience.
The museum can get crowded because there is lots to see in a rather small space. Since I often go in the winter months when everything outside is frozen solid the crowds seem to be thinner as well. I've posted a handful of photos from past visits.
