Love πŸ€??? Then it’s a must. Period. I’m born and raised in the city where the basketball Hall of Fame is so I’ve been there many times over the years, but of course more history keeps getting made, so it’s always memorable! They’ve made some great renovations and refreshed the exhibits in the last few years, they have an amazing court and amphitheater, it’s all just wonderful, and for a πŸ€ enthusiast, it’s Heaven on Earth. Enjoy!

Took my son here who absolutely loved it. We took our time going through the three floors of information/videos and took photos along the way. The staff were very nice and encouraged us to be a sportscaster and take a photo with the trophy. My favorite part was the ground floor when I got to see my son enjoy playing basketball on an actual court. I would plan 2 hours to really enjoy all aspects of what they have to offer here. They also have a couple restaurants and Cold Stone Creamery next door so you can plan a total experience here!

He actually becomes eligible for induction this year. As close to a sure thing as you can get in the NBA. His place is guaranteed pretty much.
