Fun place to visit and explore. Even if you are not a die-hard hockey fan, you will enjoy the history being displayed in glass cases.
There are interactive games for children if you are thinking about bringing some little ones along. The hall of fame itself occupies a large corner of the Brookfield Place shopping center/office building so it's easy to grab something to eat or drink after you leave. They even have soda and snack machines in the middle of the exhibits in case you need something then.
The shop had a wide variety of souvenirs to bring back to your hockey fans. And it's close to other attractions downtown so you can start the day here and then head off somewhere else.
