I'm not much of a tennis fan, so this attraction was more of a time killer than a desire. More

Ok overall. Husband enjoyed playing on the courts as a tourist but I froze watching them due to the wind & no where to sit. Not a single spot to sit as an observer. More

Even though we are not great tennis fans, there was much to interest us in this very well presented hall of fame. Lunch in the adjacent conservatory restaurant was good too. More

We went to the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA, so we were expecting this Tennis Hall of Fame to be bigger, but it was worth the visit nevertheless. It was interesting to see the whole history of Tennis champions and their pictures and stories. This place is a must visit if you are a tennis lover. More
