The Hockey Hall of Fame (Toronto)

The Hockey Hall of Fame is located in the centre of Toronto and is a much loved attraction among ice hockey mad Canadians.  A must for any sports fans on cheap city breaks in Toronto, it is a fascinating place to come for all ages, and kids especially will love its many interactive features, exhibitions and sporty activities. It is a huge venue with typical North American razzamatazz and features a wealth of memorabilia and objects relating to its glamorous history. It faithfully recreates the atmosphere of a typical hockey game with wall to wall TV screens showing classic footage and you can also tour the famous dressing room of the all-conquering Montreal Canadians hockey team.

 

A visit to the glittering trophy room, including a glimpse of the famous Stanley Cup, is not to be missed but the highlight for many on Toronto short breaks is to indulge in some interactive sporty fun and follow in the footsteps of hockey greats such as Wayne Gretsky. Try your luck at the Source for Sports Shoot Out and the Pepsi Shut Out, both hi tech interactive live action hockey challenges that will provide plenty of fun and laughs for all ages. Even more enjoyable is the chance to become a famous hockey presenter in front of the camera and commentate on a live game.

 

There are yet more interactive exhibits and audio visual displays to browse covering everything from European ice hockey leagues, leading female players and the history of ice hockey at the Olympics. Of course, the main aim of the centre is to honour past greats of ice hockey and the careers and achievements of all the Hall of Fame inductees are well documented with personal effects and memorabilia. Weekend breaks in Toronto will certainly have fun here, even for those who do not have a sporty bone in their body.
