Hockey Hall of Fame

For my birthday this year my parents and I took a mini vacation to Toronto, Ontario. We realized we haven’t been on a family vacation since my senior year of high school. In elementary my parents and I went to Toronto to see “The Lion King” at the Princess of Wales theatre. The seats were phenomenal and I loved the show!
I started researching hotels in the area for a reasonable price. I found a good deal on Hockey Hall of Fame (HHOF) website, HHOF plan included four tickets to HHOF, hotel room at Westin, and valet spot for one car in the parking garage. When we got to Toronto the room had an lake view of the harbour. Once we got settled in we walked around the city. Instead of eating at the hotel for dinner there was a restaurant right next to the HHOF building, Oliver & Bonacini Café Grill. The dinner was delicious. After we got back to the hotel they had a bar there too. The next day we checked out and went to the HHOF. It is located in the ground floor of Brookfield Place. I wore my Red Wings shirt and winter classic jersey. The HHOF was amazing, any hockey fan’s fantasy. The HHOF is divided up in sections: trophy room with the Stanley Cup, hockey around the world, slap shot challenge, inducted players, historic hockey memorabilia, and replica of Montreal Canadiens locker room. The exit of HHOF led to Spirit of Hockey store. I bought a few souvenirs and of course I took a ton of photos! Before we left we walked to Air Canada Centre where the Toronto Maple Leafs play. It was an amazing trip and worth the drive!




I’ve included links to HHOF website and photos I took.
