This was our second trip in three years to the hall of fame. Admission is free with a USFSA membership. Was pleasantly surprised to see new exhibits since our first trip here. We spent an hour here and close to 2.5 hours the first time we visited. More

Upon driving up to the building you think not much to look at from the outside; however, when you go inside there is much to see and explore. More

This museum is one of the best I have ever visited. The entrance fee is only $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and children 6 - 12. They have so many original costumes and original equipment along with original footage of some of the most famous performances! I learned more about the skaters than I ever expected to. Plus,...

This is the place for true skating fans! Learn about the history of the sport while reminiscing past achievements and accomplishments of your favorite champions. See some of the glamorous costumes up close. Enjoy the art work that expresses the beauty and physicality of the sport. Seeing different types of skates is informative as well as viewing skates of yore.... More

For $5 entrance fee you can see 2 floors worth of skating memorabilia including many videos selectively located thourought. We spent 50 minutes only because we got there 50 minutes before it closed. We probably would have spent another 30 minutes or so if we had the time. I especially enjoyed the hisory of Axel Paulsen and Mr. Salchow along... More

Nice, small museum on two levels on one end of the USFS headquarters. Many wonderful exhibits including a display of the Hall of Fame members. Artifacts included in the various displays: costumes, medals, skates, trading pins, posters, statues, magazines, books, painting, videos of ice skating shows and synchronized ice skating (previously known as 'Precision Skating'). A new display was being... More

I stumbled upon this museum by accident and really enjoyed it - - it's in a residential neighborhood right by the Broadmoor hotel. It was a cheap admission fee ($5 for adults) and was well-worth it. I loved the museum because they have actual gold medals that US Olympic athletes loaned to the museum. In addition, they had the actual... More

If you love to watch figure skating, you must visit this museum. They have all the trophies from the regional events and the national figure skating trophy. The exhibits are fairly old though. They need to update the museum with exhibits on the last 10-12 years of figure skating. You will get to see a few of the outfits worn... More

We really enjoyed this small museum. It was packed full of all kinds of skating history, skating facts, costumes, medals, skates, videos, and even an Olympic torch. The Hall of Fame was a little lame (just a bunch of posters) but overall it was very nice. My son and my husband even enjoyed it. We mostly went for my daughter... More

This is a very cool museum if you are into figure skating. A great mix of history of skating from people to skates and costumes worn through the years. My daughter is a figure skater and read through every person in the hall of fame's profile. We spent 3 hours there. The upper part of the museum is history of... More
