Hockey Hall of Fame
The Basics
Because of its central location, the Hockey Hall of Fame is commonly seen from the outside during walking tours of Old Toronto and Downtown Toronto. To really appreciate the attraction, however, it’s necessary to go inside. Prebook an admission ticket and use mobile tickets for fast entry.
Once inside, explore the exhibits documenting hockey history and showcasing hockey memorabilia. Look for NHL trophies and a full-scale re-creation of the Montreal Canadiens’ dressing room. Try out your shooting and goalkeeping skills against life-size computer-simulated versions of top players at the NHLPA Game Time experience.

When to Get There
The Hockey Hall of Fame is busiest in summer, around Christmas, and during Canada’s March break. For a quieter experience, visit outside these times. Saturdays tend to be busy, so if you plan on going then, arrive early in the morning or late afternoon when crowds are lightest.
