Express Way: The Hockey Hall of Fame

Toronto's legendary stop for group tours

Share

Located inside the grand Brookfield Place at 30 Yonge Street, the Hockey Hall of Fame is one of Toronto’s most iconic attractions—ideal for adult, student, and mixed-age group tours year-round. Spanning 65,000 square feet, the Hall delivers a dynamic blend of history, sport, and entertainment. More than a museum, it is a hands-on journey through the past, present, and future of hockey. 

“The Hockey Hall of Fame is a fun and interactive celebration of the game,” says Natalie Gordon, associate manager of marketing and group sales at the Hockey Hall of Fame. “Whether guests are new to hockey or lifelong fans, the Hall offers an immersive and unforgettable group experience.”

“Visitors can step right into the action—try goaltending, take a shot, call the play-by-play, or even host a broadcast in our model rink,” says Natalie Gordon, associate manager of marketing and group sales at the Hockey Hall of Fame. “They’ll discover some of the greatest hockey artifacts from around the world, step inside a replica NHL dressing room, and best of all, get right up close—and even touch—the Stanley Cup.”

The Hockey Hall of Fame is located in the former Bank of Montreal building. Built in 1885, it is the only building on its block that survived the Great Fire of Toronto in 1904.

Groups should allow at least 1.5 to 2 hours to tour the Hockey Hall of Fame.

From the moment groups arrive, they are immersed in a one-of-a-kind atmosphere featuring:

  • Interactive zones where guests can play goalie or take a shot against animated NHL stars.
  • The TSN/RDS Broadcast Zone, where they can call the play-by-play or host their own SportsCentre show.
  • A replica NHL dressing room and the world’s most extensive collection of hockey artifacts.
  • Unforgettable access to the Stanley Cup and the newly displayed Walter Cup, recognizing champions of the Professional Women’s Hockey League.

This top-tier venue is not only a Destinations 2024 Best of the Best winner, but also one of the most group-friendly attractions in Canada. It welcomes groups of 15 or more with discounted admission, complimentary tickets for tour escorts and bus drivers, and the flexibility of same-day reservations or walk-up entry. Whether it’s blazing hot or storming outside, this indoor destination shines in all seasons—making it a reliable option for itinerary planners.

For educational tours, the Hall’s curriculum-linked Education Program caters to junior through senior levels and includes pre- and post-visit activities—all available to download for free at hhof.com. For bulk ticket needs, flexible packages are available with a minimum purchase of 100.

Set in the heart of Toronto’s vibrant downtown core, the Hockey Hall of Fame is within walking distance of the CN Tower, Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, the Scotiabank Arena (home to the Toronto Maple Leafs), and close to dining, shopping, and iconic city sights. As Maxine Morrell-West, sales manager, global leisure sales at Destination Toronto says, “This is a city that thrives on big dreams and is proud to be distinctly Canadian. The HHOF embodies that experience while inspiring visitors from diverse backgrounds to explore one of the country’s favourite sports.”
