Sports Museums

Imagine all the nostalgia of every sports movie ever, all combined in one place. That’s what Massachusetts is like, minus the tears. Basketball was invented in Springfield, so it’s no surprise you’ll find the Basketball Hall of Fame there. And since we’re on the subject of inventing sports, Holyoke is the birthplace of volleyball and the home of the Volleyball Hall of Fame. At The Hall at Patriot Place, you can relive the recent triumphs of the New England Patriots with innovative, interactive exhibits. And then there’s Fenway Park. A living monument to the sport of baseball, history comes alive whether you’re taking in a game or going on an official Fenway Park Tour. Finally, for all things sports and sports fandom, take your foam fingers over to the Sports Museum at Boston’s TD Garden. If you’re a fan of museums that move, this is the place to be.
