Hockey Hall Of Fame Groupon Discount,
Day trips!
http://www.groupon.com/deals/hockey-hall-of-fame-kitchener?sd=false&utm_campaign=UserReferral_dp&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=uu37825469
The Hockey Hall Of Fame is a great day trip! Lots of people miss lots of stuff in there because of the layout.
Things to do at the HOCKEY HALL OF FAME
The Hockey Hall Of Fame makes for a great day trip. Don't expect it to be a Morning until Night trip, more of an afternoon escape.
Hockey Hall Of Fame GROUPON
Today I saw there was a Hockey Hall Of Fame Groupon, and it's a great family oriented museum, which I have visited several times.http://www.groupon.com/deals/hockey-hall-of-fame-kitchener?sd=false&utm_campaign=UserReferral_dp&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=uu37825469
The Hockey Hall Of Fame is a great day trip! Lots of people miss lots of stuff in there because of the layout.
Things to do at the HOCKEY HALL OF FAME
- Find the STANLEY CUP in the trophy room & get your pic with it (extra cost, but I think you can add it on to this)
- Interactive Zone where you can test your slap shot, your goal keeping skills, go up stairs & try being an announcer & more
- See the exhibits uniforms & other items from all the NHL & CHL teams
- Ask the ushers about special exhibits (I've been there where it was the anniversary of The Montreal Canadians, when Sidney Crobsy's gloves & puck from the last Winter Olympics where there and a special exhibit about all the Olympic Hockey teams through the years)
- My favorite is the STANLEY CUP movie. It's about a half hour movie, its a little dull at times near the beginning, but you learn a lot about the history of hockey. Then the 2nd part of the movie does a recap of every game from last season's Stanley Cup Playoffs (so it's different every year).
- Their SPIRIT OF HOCKEY gift shop is pretty amazing as well. Try to stay near the clearance items when grabbing souvenirs!
The Hockey Hall Of Fame makes for a great day trip. Don't expect it to be a Morning until Night trip, more of an afternoon escape.
