    Not really a hall of fame but still worth an hour if you are a fan, like me! Overpriced in my opinion
    You really don’t need more than an hour. They give you a lanyard card and you use it to interact with different features. I didn’t really like using it and it felt like a waste. There are kiosks where you were supposed to register it but no one showed me. And then it shows your favorite team at different computer screens. The displays are quite good. However, I felt that the $28 price was simply too much. A bigger Museum is needed for this expensive price. As a solo adult with patience two hours was more than enough time. I really liked the big movie at the start, it’s more of an emotional movie and not really a movie with a lot of information. Still I love college football, so it was great. The highlights are the wall of helmets right when you go in and the movie. There are a number of historical displays I liked too. At the third-floor, they have kiosks where you can interact and learn about all the actual Hall of Fame members. I did not like this. No one wants to stand in front of a computer kiosk when they visit a museum like this. That being said, I don’t know how they would depict or portray the hundreds of Hall of Fame members. I really was more interested in this as a Hall of Fame, so to speak. However, it’s really more of a shrine to the notion of college football rather than a place to learn about the individual inductees to this Hall of Fame.

    Go Blue interactive
    My husband loves college football especially watching Michigan play. We spent over 2 hours interacting with the football displays of national champions and historic gear. He even put on Michigan game face and I heard my college fight song karaoke style for the first time. He definitely was happy to experience it all!

    Must see for College Football Fans
    We went when it first opened and during the week to avoid crowds. It was a great experience. You get a badge where you program your favorite team, when you walk around you can scan your badge and it will display information about your team. Plenty for all ages. At the end you can throw a pass into a net for accuracy and try to kick a field goal.

    A one time visit
    This is an interesting experience but not one I would visit again particularly for the price. I did like they had a lot of lesser known teams on their helmet wall. However, the fight song selection for that section had few schools. It could be improved.

    Watch the movie!
    Friendly staff welcomed us. Cool entry hallway with scores of helmets. You pick the college you want info in (I picked Notre Dame vs my alma mater) and they give you a lanyard; as you get to a new exhibit it tells you what connection your team has to the exhibit. Cool. Lots of multimedia. My favorite thing was the ten minute movie. Awesome! That alone is worth the money, at least it was for me. Enjoy!

    The Education of Football history
    This family day out took place in 2017 summer. My sons and I learned a lot and had fun. It was a great place to bring to Atlanta. We need more educational and fun places to visit with our kids. Over all it was a great experience.

    Cool place better for older kids
    We have two teenage sons. Over the years, we’ve been to the pro football HOF, the hockey HOF and Cooperstown. So naturally, we had to make a trip to see this place. There are some very cool features, especially the helmet wall and the movie. It was also cool how interactive it was with the school you chose at the beginning, with various exhibits tailoring the experience to your school. It’s a pretty quick trip. I was glad I found a Groupon for this!

    Quick Visit
    I’ve always wanted to visit the CFHOF and I was not disappointed. The interactive screens were a nice touch—as they were connected to the badges we acquired upon entering—and made for a much more personalized experience. I enjoyed walking through the exhibits and being able to see the various trophies and memorabilia on display. The gift shop left a bit to be desired—better merch needs to be researched as the current selections leave a LOT to be desired—but the rest of our visit brokered no complaints. I would suggest parking in the Green Deck—which is attached to the facility—as the off-site parking is just as much (during non “early bird” hours) and a bit inconvenient if you’re attempting to maximize your time in the HOF. Overall, a great time was had and I highly recommend visiting if you’re a college football fan!

First impressions are spot on when you first walk in and see the amazing wall of helmets from every team and division in college football. Naturally you have to find your favorite team up on the wall before you can move on. It was great looking at some of the the old memorabilia, quite frankly I thought they would have more. You’ve seen great players and coaches holding up the trophies and gives you a good feeling of awe when you are standing right in front of them. But make no mistake this is not just a history museum of sorts. Get a truly hands on experience with many interactive activities. Be a virtual GameDay announcer, try kicking a 10 yd FG yourself, throw passes in a virtual reality game room. They have all sorts of fun things to do that really make this place worth the visit you will be telling your friends about.

I have to honestly say that my expectation was really low when entering this place. After all my wife and I does not care about college football. We could not even tell the reception desk which college team we want to pick. However with my understanding of this game, I managed to find a number of fun things to do when inside for a couple of hours. Besides the exhibit of those college coaches, players and trophies, I found the TV game-day broadcast and the computerized football play stuffs well worth my time. If you are into more physical stuffs, there is a football field where I can see people choosing interesting plays as well. I ended up leaving the place understanding the game better than before, and that I consider a trip worth taking. If you have a couple of hours left in your Atlanta trip, I would recommend you to pay this place a visit.

I was completely surprised that the CFHF was relocated to Atlanta GA. The attendants and employees were very helpful and knowledgeable. It was fun to go down memory lane and refresh my memory of all of the College Football History. Highly recommended.

So enjoyed every aspect inside the College Football Hall of Fame. But, if you purchase a ticket ahead of time, you should not have to stand in the ticket line for 45 minutes. Especially on Sugar Bowl weekend. A blip in the system or not enough staff. Lots of things to see in the Hall of Fame. Don't miss.
