- krogerskuJohnston, Iowa578 contributionsBeautiful Campus & MuseumWalked the campus and visited the museum early on game day. The campus is beautiful. Make sure to visit the Carmichael Arena which is where Micheal Jordon actually played. The museum is rich in basketball history. Can easily spend a 1-2 hours going through it so plan accordingly.Visited February 2022Traveled with familyWritten December 27, 2022
- iowacityia1,797 contributionsMonday, April 10th, noon visit.My wife and I arrived right at noon, part of our own walking tour of the campus area. We were greeted right away by the receptionist, and she said we can visit with the lady at the front entrance to the museum. We were then greeted by that lady who had us wait a minute, so we could enter just as the next short movie was starting. I will say that both ladies we had contact with were so very nice to us out of towners. A joy to visit with. They made the visit even that much nicer. Upon entering, you are in a room with a huge video screen. A very cool video plays, and the audio and video quality was amazing. A very nice start to the museum. We enjoyed our visit to the museum. It was well worth the time and effort. I would visit again.Visited April 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten April 15, 2023
- Dede KPittsburgh, Pennsylvania225 contributionsA slam dunk visit!This visit was a slam dunk! When looking for things to do in the area, I was thrilled to come across this museum! Being a long time Michael Jordan fan, nothing makes me happier than seeing where he hailed from. The museum was a basketball court with loads of memorabilia. So awesome to see bits and pieces of his life leading up to the man and amazing ball player he became! Many other ball players represented as well. A great place to visit!Visited September 2022Traveled with familyWritten August 19, 2023

I took my kids here before attending a basketball game. As a Tar Heel alumni, it was really fun to explore the history of the basketball program. It brought back so many memories! It only took us about an hour to complete so it was a perfect way to spend the afternoon before a game.

As you may know this is ACC country and Carolina and Duke lead the rest of the teams.......unfortunately Carolina has had a round season but you never know they might pull out. Their museum is proof of the great coaching.

For a Tarheel fan this is the 2nd best place to be except for a game. Everything you need to know and see about UNC history is in this museum. Best of all it's free but always great to give a donation to keep it available for future generations

The woman who greets you is one of the friendliest people I've ever met. This is a free exhibit and worth it if you are in town. Really enjoyed walking around and taking in the UNC hoops history. A must if you are a fan.

Did not know it closed 3 hrs before tip off- the regular hours showed open til 1. We got there and had 5 minutes to see everything, an impossible task.
Would go back if back in town for sure. So much history for this storied hoops program.

This museum has the perfect blend of displays, word, and video. Even if you're not a Carolina Basketball fan, you'll find it really interesting and just a great tribute to so many quality people that are Carolina Basketball. Make sure you make time for this stop!

Reliving the greatness of Tar Heel basketball over the decades is almost enough to tingle the spine of a Blue Devil. A true blue Tar Heel will have to shed a tear of pride. The general fan of collegiate basketball will learn about true sports royalty.

Indeed .. FREE. (May have to pay to park.) Much to see .. give yourself plenty of time. And plenty of opportunity for keepsakes.
