This museum and hall of fame is a dream come true for Packers fans and fans of the game of football. It showcases the history of the NFL's most storied franchise. Filling 25,000 square feet of space, visitors are welcome to interact with nearly a century of Packers history. The museum features over 75 exhibits, including a model of famed Packer coach Vince Lombardi. The hall is packed with videos, a sports fan's favorite way to relive some of the greatest memories they have of their favorite team. There is also a children's area, so the smallest fans will begin to learn about and love the game of football. Exhibits there include kicking the football, throwing the football, and trying on a Packer's uniform.
Most people may not realize it, but the Packers Hall of Fame is a great place for a field trip. Area student are able to learn the history of the team and understand how their growth played a role in the history of Green Bay. The study of the organization also helps to instill an appreciation for hard work in the students. Their favorite football heroes can be seen in a different light than when they watch them play on Sundays. Students who visit the Hall of Fame receive a workbook that guides them through the building. Workbooks are available for various grades, and each offers activities that encompass a variety of skill sets and modalities.
A favorite part of the field trip tour is the tour of Lambeau Stadium. They will have a change to sit in a private stadium box, and walk through the tunnel onto the field, just like the players do every weekend during football season. Field trips can be catered, so kids can enjoy lunch onsite and ice cream from Frozen in Time Ice Cream.
The Hall of Fame sponsors an annual golf classic every summer in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The day usually includes a golf scramble, and each foursome is assigned a celebrity golfer (so you play in a five some). This event is a great way to give back to the community, and share an afternoon with one of your favorite NFL stars.
The Packer Hall of Fame has recently decided to host a celebration in the month of March in honor of children's art. Kids aged kindergarten through grade 12 are welcome to enter and their work is judged in one of four grade levels. Each level has one winner. The winning work will be displayed in the Atrium display at the Hall of Fame. This means everyone who passes through the Hall of Fame will get to see your work!
The Hall of Fame has something for everyone. Even if you are not a huge football fan, it will be interesting reading about the history and culture of one of the NFL's greatest teams. A trip to the hall makes a perfect gift for the Packer fan in your life, and it is a great way to explore a major part of Wisconsin's history. The next time you are headed north, plan a trip to the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.
