Shawn Douglass

Clean polite people

juston lafler

Cheap little museum, but didnt have much to see and many interactive displays were broken.

Daryl Allison

My sentiments were echoed by others. We walked in wanting a hall of fame of our favorite NCAA athletes and memories. Instead we were created with a historical exhibit on the NCAA and events related to it. Go for the educational opportunity, but not for the star gazing nostalgia.

Julie

Loved the upstairs interactive displays and being able to find your school!

David May

standard event space, great staff, parking nearby

Yvette Keene

Absolutely loved taking the kids here. They definitely enjoyed the second floor more than the first but it was good to see history on all sports. Will visit again and suggest anyone to at least visit once especially if they are in the area.

Bryce Caster

Small museum on the site of the NCAA headquarters with displays on every NCAA sport and the national champions.

Eric Seymour

I was in Indy on a business trip recently, and this was a fun way to spend a spare hour. The interactive displays were nice, but I was expecting there would be more historical displays. Overall it felt more like a promotion for the NCAA than a museum. But if you like college sports it's worth a visit.

Tianze Peng

It's okay. Several facility were closed it out of order.

Benjamin Shover

Pretty cool place if you are into college sports. You can usually find discounts for this place.

Kimikiwi Andersen

Cool interactive experiences to help you learn about college sports! Would definitely go again :)

k middleton

If you love sports... This is the place for you!

ANTOINETTE LOCKWOOD

Smiles when you walk in the door - interesting facts

Robert D Jones

mj meyer1102

Great place to take the sports fan

Dodi Moncrief

Nice place

Melanie Smith

Neat place few games to play and a basketball court

Andrew French

Great conference space!

Ida Jewell

Nice venue for Sports enthusiasts. He catering company used by the venue is very unprofessional with poor quality food.

Jackie Carr

Neat place to visit. Was expecting more facts and displays.

Tyler Peacock

Balling on a budget? For only $5 you can become enlightened on the progression of NCAA student athletes. Very informative. You'll do a lot of reminiscing and maybe even break a sweat on the second floor after you've engaged in the activities including soccer and basketball.

Mashonda Reynolds

My family loved it. Lots to offer sports fans, and can shoot hoops on a ncaa court.

Jared Woolly

Interesting visit for college sports fans. It is more a celebration of the NCAA than of college sports heroes and highlights, but I still learned some interesting info. Definitely worth a visit for college sports fans, especially if you have a bit of time to kill in Indy.

Adam Ling

Had a good time interacting with the exhibits.

Evelyn J Martinez

Such a nice place to take the kids. Knowledge is power

Terrence C

Beautiful campus and always something to do.

Andy McCutchan

Neat museum, not very big. Good for the price though.

Chris Lane

Nice little museum for the price.

Mike J

It's smaller than I expected but what is there is pretty cool especially the 2nd floor

Jacob Edmisten

We are currently meeting in this space for a training. It is a great space that's nestled right up against the canal and the river. There are lots of different things that are reflective of the NCAA over the years. It is a beautiful building inside and out.

Benjamin Todd

Very inexpensive museum. I really enjoyed the fact that it is very interactive. It could however use more historical artifacts or original jersey or shoes that were used by collegiate stars. It could also use a key to allow me to understand D1,D@ & D# and other designations used at the collegiate level. Kids will have a blast here.

Mr G

Loved it

Carmen L. Throckmorton

Pretty cool place kids liked it !!!

Melissa Wonderlick

I attended my boyfriend's work holiday party here. Appetizers were good. The beer and wine was moderately price. We were severed, salad, bread, main course, and dessert. The food was much better than I had expected being a catered event. I was pleasantly surprised.

Michelle

It was great we went there for a school field trip. The kid's loved it and the staff was great.

Sean Richmond

An amazing place to spend an afternoon. The interactive stations on the 2nd floor are great from children and adults

Claire W

There are great rooms for conferences, and the catering staff is very friendly. Parking can be a bit of a hassle, however.

Brennan David

A little disappointing but priced right. Only $5

Oluwadara Akinbola

My opinion may be a bit centered since I wasn't there for a meeting. But nevertheless, the NCAA Hall of Fame was an incredible experience for me and my classmates! In one of my elementary schools, (I moved a lot) we went and did many athletic AND fun stations. I will never forget that experience. (Especially since it happened about over a year ago.)

Chris C.

Sports abound in this temple to collegiate athleticism! Lots of interactive displays and engaging exhibits. Highly recommended if you are a sportsman.

Logan Bruner

Beautiful venue and amazing event space. Had a conference here and was blown away by the hospitality!

Jeremiah Tworek

This place was awesome! I loved how the campers wanted to know all there was about the NCAA and how it was established. It was pretty neat to watch one of my former athletes talk in the video they show you as part of the NCAA experience. Will definitely be going back.

Dean Ehrenheim

A don’t miss in Indy!

Boiler Trumpet

Fun little museum about ncaa sports

Ashton Eller

Definitely worth a stop if you're visiting Indy.

Marilynn Suggs

Beautiful!

Dan Jeffers

Great for the kids. Excellent history and attractions. I just thought there'd be more. Don't expect to spend a whole day there, but you can easily fill a couple hours.

Cliff Larose

Interesting place

E V

You pay 5€ to see nothing. If you want to play a sport go the field.

Joe Davenport

Very rude and unhelpful staff. It is clean, but expensive and parking is poor.

Eugene Gephart

Went to a vendor sponsored security conference. Beautiful facility.

Tim Heffington

Museum is a waste of time and space. As a college sports fan, I was really looking forward to some cool artifacts or unique exhibits. You start the tour off in a room with kiosk for different sports with nothing more than wikiepdia like list of each National Champion. I can find this list on the internet, this is not unique or interesting. Upstairs was like a cheap video game parlor of poor interactive exhibits. I have seen better displays at a small town public library. If you want to kill 45 mins in Indy, go ahead but if you are looking for a unique NCAA experience, you will be disappointed.

Kiley Siders

A place for the whole family to learn about ncaa and have fun!

Wayne Watson

It is full of history and fun interactive game.

Wayne Reed

I expected more.. some of the interactive exhibits didn't work.

Angela Mitchell

Its fun and interactive. Good for all ages!

Maria Schwartzman Webb

There isn't a ton to do here - we could do everything in 30 minutes - but they do have a few neat things like playing virtual sports with real balls (football, baseball).

D Lloyd

Very nice place with lots of information about NCAA Sports history. But seemed like there should be some more about current Champions as the kiosks were not updated with especially Division 1 School 2018 results

Sean Lehlbach

Cool place for college sports buffs. Lots of fun history behind how the NCAa began and each of the currently recognized sports. Also highlighted how women's sports began to enter the field in the college realms as well. You could spend about an hour here and get a quick snapshot or really soak in all the knowledge in about half a day. Fun activities for kids and adults who like to be kids too!

Geza Verik

Cool museum. They even have a basketball court with markings where famous basketball shots were made that you can attempt. My son loved the computerized baseball and football throwing game.

Aaron Estevez

I've been here twice now as a teacher with our 8th grade students on a field trip. It's been fun and enjoyable for the kids both times. The staff are friendly and helpful. You can tell they are big college sports fans, and they know a lot of history. There's an 8 minute video you can watch about the origins of the NCAA, and then there are interactive displays of all the official sports with information about them on the first floor. Upstairs, there is a small basketball court that demonstrates how the sport has changed through the years. There are also a few other interactive exhibits upstairs. There are two Candy Crush touchscreen games, a thing where you can test your vertical leap, and two areas where you take shots on the goal for soccer with a game. Good time!

Michael Blakey

I had my 50th High School Reunion there. Excellent place to visit anytime. :-)

Brian Fischer

For this to be the ncaa hall of champions, I was expecting more. Thankfully, it's only $5 so it is not a complete let down when you factor in the cost.

Sarah Key

It was very neat to learn about the history of the NCAA and actually learn that a couple more sports are actually played in college.

Mitchell owsley

You don't walk in a tour but the museum was still nice.lot of interesting college sports artifacts and encouraging quotes as well.

Jeffrey Goodrich

Worth the price of admission ($5) only because the price of admission is low. If you're going to see something specific, it's probably fun to see some memorabilia or stats for your favorite college, otherwise, the displays on the bottom floor were pretty boring. The top floor has some fun activities (tiny basketball court, interactive football/soccer/baseball game, other displays), but it's not enough to pass more than an hour tops. Parking is in an underground lot that is across the canal. Parking is $5 with validation after visiting the Hall of Champions.

Matt Petscher

Worth the trip!

Brian Bailey

Interesting and informative. Worth the price of admission

David Arnold

Fun place for the college sports fan!

Layla Terry

So much fun. Went here twice in one weekend.

Anthony Holman

A great place to spend some time. My family loved it, the interactive games, the scavenger hunt, the theatre, were all top notch. The ambassadors were also very knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely a must visit if you are in Indianapolis.

Samantha Casarez

If you like college sports this a great place to go and learn and see some awesome info

Renia Edwards

Mississippi Valley State University enjoyed our visit to the NCAA Offices and the Hall of Champions! Great place and beautiful building. Thank you NCAA staff!

Clemens Heller

Fun experience for 5$. You will get some information about the different NCAA sports and there are some interactive experiences.

Jessica Adkins

Great experience! Any sports fan will enjoy this!

Tyler Hurley

I more so came for the hidden little park next to it. But the building is nice.

Vincent Morretino

It's a really neat place if you are into sports. In the hallways by the conference areas, there are some gorgeous painting, illustrations, and photographs on the walls. Honestly, i liked those more than the exhibits on display in the main part of the building.

Danny Adams

Good display of memorabilia but the interactive games were the best part. Luckily it wasn't crowded when we were there but I would see it being pretty I enjoyable if it was a busy day. For $5, it was good entertainment but don't expect to spend more than 2 hours inside.

Layondre Fantastik

Great place

Kevin Desai

Liked it! The interactive displays are great!

Robert Kirtland

Great place to spend a couple of hours in downtown Indianapolis. Multiple interactive exhibits and games. My family enjoyed this venue. I would return.

Jerome Jones

Top Notch Facility !

Sarah Landers

They did a nice scavenger hunt for our students and gave the winning team a prize. Made the museum more exciting.

Darlene Foster

Loved it was amazing going through it looking at all the memory!

James Manns

Great interactive stuff for kids and lots of learning.

Bob Carnahan

Almost anything you ever wanted to know about college sports history is just waiting to be discovered on the banks of the downtown canal in Indianapolis. The NCAA Hall of Champions is a fun and educational way to spend a couple of hours, or more. From women's sports history (Vasser's women's baseball team in the 1800s) to all you ever wanted to know about college mascots. Sprinkled amongst the history are interactive displays that allow visitors to test their knowledge of college sports trivia, soccer skills, pitching skills, and basketball shooting. The minimal cost to enter, $5, was well money well spent considering the educational and entertainment value.

Sandi Sturgill

It's ok. Beautiful building and the outside/downtown area is cool!

Maggie Cowan

Very fun place!

WNL CLAN

So much fun a football simulation room baseball simulation room plus an indoor basketball ball court those are just some of the things

Shawn Miller

Definitely a worthwhile visit. Fun to see the facts about all of the different sports.

Tyler Long

Very cool place

Cesar Lopez-Garcia

An unbelievable experience. Best sports museum I've ever seen. If you've never been to Indianapolis, I'd recommend you to come to the museum. Even if you dont like sports, you will like the museum

Alec Temple

Pretty fun place overall. Took me and my wife about an hour to go through it all. There isn't a whole lot to do if you don't have kids with you though.

JoAnn Herald

I enjoyed myself very much

Anthony Scott

The interactive booths were fun, but wish there were more.

anita austin

Kids loved it

Courtney Anderson

Fun and interactive. Great place for a team meeting.

Tonya Duncan

Always a good time! Promotes lots of activity whole there! Enjoy thoroughly!

Antonio Montana

An OK museum for sports fans. Interesting exhibits.

Scott

Love this place. Great building. Great for events and meetings. Good food, good service, nice space.

Alex Passini

In Indianapolis for a conference and the social event was held at the NCAA, a little crammed for space with over 500 ppl, but the facilities looked good. Very interesting history.

Alexandra Alvarez

Great museum to go to! Lots of interactive games and it changes all the time. For $5, you can’t beat it.

Matt Hiserodt

Really nice area - centrally located parking garage that is not crazy expensive. Pedestrian only area with lots of open space that connects to the canal. Numerous other museums and places to visit in walking distance. Museum itself is dirt cheap - $5/adult $3/kid I think. First floor is a bit boring and basic. Top floor all interactive and hands on. My kids spent about an hour here and enjoyed it. Worth an hour visit for sure but don't expect much more than that - you get what you pay for.

Robert White

NALCAA Dinner - Wonderful Venue

Ryan Otte

I agree that it could be a bit more expansive, but the interactive exhibits are such a blast. From the awesome trivia games to compete with your friends to shooting baskets from spots based on legendary NCAA basketball moments, the interactivity really makes the experience.

Scott OTK

Assumed the would be more to it, took less than ab hour to see everything.

Dustin parr

Good event space. Food was good, staff was nice and attentive. The coffee was excellent.

Jeff Rodkey

Vey small. Wrestling no penn state

Ethan Brunson

Great place to go for a bit uf fun and to learn some cool facts! Not busy at all when I went. Some cool activities for kids to enjoy as well as the adults. It's not as big as I thought it would be bit it is well sized. It is a bit of a walk from parking but is wheelchair accessible. Has a nice view of the river as well.

Miss Andrea Reads

To me personally, this isn't a very exciting place. However, my 11 and 8 year old sons love it! They're huge sports trivia nerds. We spent a few hours and they weren't ready to go. I did like the movie about Pres. Roosevelt and the history of NCAA. Also, the staff was amazing with the kids. So friendly and outgoing.

Eric Sherman

This place is amazing from the pictures and statue's, to the great people and staff working there.

Matt Miller

Such a cool place and a hidden gem of sorts in Indianapolis. My kids love shooting baskets in the gym but learn a LOT about the various NCAA sports in the exhibits.

Debra Paschall

Not as much to see as I was expecting. Also there was a couple of class field trips going on, so missed some exhibits. Other wise it was fine.

Cory Maddox

Sort of underwhelming

Colleen Piel

We thought the first floor was fun and interesting and then we got to the second floor, which was even better. So many interactive exhibits! We learned a lot and had a great time!

Rob Rubinoff

With the billions of dollars this organization makes off the backs of athletes, you would think there might be more exhibits, history, etc. You can maybe spend a 1/2 hour here tops.

Robert l Thomas

Great place

Tommy Criss

Visited to take pictures. Receptionist was uninviting.

Craig Reasoner

Historic

Sandy Jude

We went on a field trip with our youngest to the NCAA Hall of Champions. I don't watch much college sports so I didn't have high expectations but was really impressed! We all had a really good time with all of the exhibits they have for people of all ages. Very interactive! I didn't expect to see my college alma mater, College of Mt. St. Joseph and tribute to Lauren Hill. It was very touching and having a mother currently suffering from terminal brain cancer, means even more.

Kevin Fox

Great interactive exhibited

Sara Pugh

Limited open hours. Neat space.

Nathan Manias

This is a good museum, but it is a bit lacking. The first floor left me rather disappointed that we paid, but at least the second floor is great! The whole museum is very interactive, but is only something I would want to go to one time. A good thing about it is there is a student discount!

Matt McGuire

Educational sports Museum

Sarah Martin

Great field trip with my summer camp kiddos.
