basketball hall of fame印象

It is nice but not as interesting as before the latest move. there are lots of pictures which is good. There used to be several virtual games which were fun. There should be more interactive activities and learning displays.

Now I can say we've been to the hockey, baseball, and basketball halls of fame. The building, a huge ball, is impressive to look at. The hall itself is on the upper ring. Was a bit disorienting going from looking down at the write ups to looking way above at the pictures. Some interesting exhibits on the second floor. Most interesting tidbit wS about the coming to be of the 24 sec shot clock. Some interactive exhibits. Huge space dedicated to the MAAC. Seemed like a ESPN promo. Nothing at all about basketball in culture. How can the be no mention of Spacejam? Or Kareem's acting career? Bottom floor was a basketball court with rims of different heights and lots of balls to shoot. Great for teens. Watch your head though. There is also a large gift shop. Easy on easy off rt 91 so not hard to get to.

I included this stop on our trip to New England. I was not impresses by the way inductees pictures were displayed. You have to look up at an uncomfortable angle to see the pictures. The explanation of the creation of basketball was very good, even to my wife who is not a fan, but otherwise it is a collection of uniforms (some of which were not identified) and basketballs. I would not recommend anyone going out of their way to visit.

Recently visited the Hall of Fame on a Thursday in October. The place was a morgue. Firstly, the price for admission is too high for a small museum ($21 but if you have AAA, mention that so you can get in for $19). Parking is free and conveniently located near the entrance and on-site restaurants. You'll take an elevator to the third floor to start your tour. The top floor is pretty basic with photos of all inductees, a timeline of important dates, and minimal memorabilia. The 2nd floor is the gist of the Hall of Fame with a few exhibits and some hands-on activities for all ages. The bottom floor is a full-size basketball court (anyone can shoot hoops) and the gift shop. You can get through this entire museum in 60-90 minutes. I've been to the Football Hall of Fame in Ohio and the Baseball Hall of Fame in NY. The Baseball HOF in Cooperstown is clearly #1 and this competes with the small Football HOF in Canton. Go on a rainy day or if you like basketball, otherwise you'll be bored stiff.

It is NOT small, and there is PLENTY of other things to do in the area, to disagree with the prior reviewer. Thank you, I feel better already! This is a basketball shaped building and yes, it is somewhat overpriced. Even though I am not a huge fan, I enjoyed it. The photos on the third floor are mounted very high, and are not as impressive as the plaques in Cooperstown. There is however some narrative about each inductee at eye level. Even for the non-fan, we all know of Jordan, Bird, Johnson, Jabbar, etc., etc., and just reading about each of their distinctive talents and contributions was great. The second floor was all about the history of the game, the evolution of the leagues, etc. There are great tidbits here, such as the evolution of the shot clock, and how it came to be 24 seconds! It is a place to be seen, if you are not a rabid fan you may not spend a huge amount of time particularly on floor 2.

This visit is overpriced to enter. Then half or the interactive set up either don't work or not enough staff to run the, makes the price even more outrageous. With that said, the things that were open was a lot of fun. The hall of fame has a full size court that can be played on and also has all the "hoops" that have evolved from the history of basketball to shoot at. Only need less than 2 hours to visit this attraction.

Used a groupon and spent 3 1/2 hours. Kids under 5 are free. Great opportunity to learn about thr history of the game and key people. The kids loved the interactive exhibits and court.

I am a huge NBA fan, so I was really looking forward to visiting. I was so disappointed. The first floor is a basketball court and the whole visit we could hear someone bouncing a ball--very irritating. When you get to the third floor the pictures of the members are high overhead and it is difficult to match name with person unless you just happen to know who it is. There is a huge room dedicated to Michael Jordan and Nike. There were inaccuracies (Tim Duncan listed as a center, he's a power forward. I just was unimpressed and sorry we went.

I was taken aback by how expensive it was to go into the Basketball Hall of Fame but it more than paid for itself once I saw how thrilled my two sons were to be there. We spent over 3 hours!! There were two highlights for my kids: first the big open court area where they could just shoot and dribble and have fun and which was transformed into the daily free thrown competition. What a thrill. Second, the Michael Jordan dream gym lined with a sculpture made up of his running shoes and the most amazing gleaming hardwood floors. It is well worth taking a trip here and if you have any basketball fans bring a little extra for the outstanding gift shop.

Come here every so often since I'm located in the area and always enjoy this exhibit. It's not as small as some of the other reviewers have said. It's a great opportunity to learn and study the history of basketball in Springfield. There are lots of displays and there is a court to even shoot hoops at baskets. Great experience for young and old...
