Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is no stuffy museum, but an active place.

Housed in a dramatic building designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, the 200-foot basketball-topped spire and bulbous dome are easily visible from I-91 as you speed through Springfield. Stop for a closer look.

You can see and do a lot here in less than an hour, but you could also spend an entire morning.

The museum is flanked by a variety of restaurants and shops, and a Hilton Garden Inn hotel.

Find Union Street (south of State Street) and go west. Just after you pass under I-91, you'll see the dramatic architecture of the Basketball Hall of Fame.

You'll have some fun.

The official website is a mish-mash of bad web design (they should stick to basketball), but it does have the opening hours and ticket prices.
