About the same as what you might find at Chuck E Cheese. Everything worth seeing was crammed into the big room with all the trophies and inductee wall plaques. The inductee plaques go from the floor to about 12 feet high, so you can crawl on the ground to see the ones at the bottom, or crane your neck to see the ones up top.

The NHL should be ashamed of this. It is embarassingly bad.
I was there about 20 years ago. Sure I was happy with a one and done, but enjoyed it. It was really cool seeing the Sydney Millionaires on the Stanley Cup in person.

The Chuck-E-Cheese type games the kids will love.

Plus, it's not that expensive. I'm cool with it.

Yeah, it's in a downtown mall/building. It's not quite in the basement, but no it's not a standalone pillar like you might expect.
