I have had my fair share of visits there over the years. I'm an hour away. Downtown Toronto, near Union Station sort of hidden away if you weren't looking for it.
I love it, I mean it does pretty good on the nostalgic side of things. You can get a picture of the Stanley Cup, you can see everyone who has been inducted and it is incredibly interactive.
This is the difference with the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. In Cooperstown it is just a small little hole in the wall town. The entire town revolves around the Hall. It is a piece of Americana. There is lots of nostalgia there, more than the HHOF. It has been there since 1939, while the current Hockey Hall of Fame has just been in its location since the 1990s.
Baseball has a bit more of the historical aspect to it than Hockey. They rely on it a bit more, there isn't the interactive games there like with Hockey or with Canton (Football). With hockey you can play goalie, shoot on a goalie, use your voice to record famous goals and play table hockey. Lots to do.
So share your thoughts, have you ventured here yet, and if so how did it compare in your mind to other Halls?
