- f0xkrisPhoenix, Arizona23 contributionsGo Blue interactiveMy husband loves college football especially watching Michigan play. We spent over 2 hours interacting with the football displays of national champions and historic gear. He even put on Michigan game face and I heard my college fight song karaoke style for the first time. He definitely was happy to experience it all!Visited April 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 3 April 2023
- NapsterthecatHuntsville, Alabama1,204 contributionsMust see for College Football FansWe went when it first opened and during the week to avoid crowds. It was a great experience. You get a badge where you program your favorite team, when you walk around you can scan your badge and it will display information about your team. Plenty for all ages. At the end you can throw a pass into a net for accuracy and try to kick a field goal.Visited April 2023Written 10 April 2023
- Sue F19 contributionsA one time visitThis is an interesting experience but not one I would visit again particularly for the price. I did like they had a lot of lesser known teams on their helmet wall. However, the fight song selection for that section had few schools. It could be improved.Visited April 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 29 April 2023
- MikeBinVaWashington DC, District of Columbia73 contributionsWatch the movie!Friendly staff welcomed us. Cool entry hallway with scores of helmets. You pick the college you want info in (I picked Notre Dame vs my alma mater) and they give you a lanyard; as you get to a new exhibit it tells you what connection your team has to the exhibit. Cool. Lots of multimedia. My favorite thing was the ten minute movie. Awesome! That alone is worth the money, at least it was for me. Enjoy!Visited May 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 20 May 2023
- The Steward FamilyStonecrest, Georgia31 contributionsThe Education of Football historyThis family day out took place in 2017 summer. My sons and I learned a lot and had fun. It was a great place to bring to Atlanta. We need more educational and fun places to visit with our kids. Over all it was a great experience.Visited July 2022Travelled with familyWritten 9 June 2023
- CindyJVDetroit, Michigan311 contributionsCool place better for older kidsWe have two teenage sons. Over the years, we’ve been to the pro football HOF, the hockey HOF and Cooperstown. So naturally, we had to make a trip to see this place. There are some very cool features, especially the helmet wall and the movie. It was also cool how interactive it was with the school you chose at the beginning, with various exhibits tailoring the experience to your school. It’s a pretty quick trip. I was glad I found a Groupon for this!Visited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten 5 July 2023
- SouthernMama2Athens, Georgia239 contributionsQuick VisitI’ve always wanted to visit the CFHOF and I was not disappointed. The interactive screens were a nice touch—as they were connected to the badges we acquired upon entering—and made for a much more personalized experience. I enjoyed walking through the exhibits and being able to see the various trophies and memorabilia on display. The gift shop left a bit to be desired—better merch needs to be researched as the current selections leave a LOT to be desired—but the rest of our visit brokered no complaints. I would suggest parking in the Green Deck—which is attached to the facility—as the off-site parking is just as much (during non “early bird” hours) and a bit inconvenient if you’re attempting to maximize your time in the HOF. Overall, a great time was had and I highly recommend visiting if you’re a college football fan!Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 October 2023
- DrJimmy33982Fort Myers, Florida87 contributionsGreat Experience. Highly RecommendedA lot of history here. Very inspirational for my middle-school son who wants to play college ball. Great location across from Olympic Park. Gift shop is pretty good, too (although a little too heavy with UGA stuff, if you ask me!). Lots of trophies on display and many, many interactive exhibits. Good value, being part of the ATL CityPass. A must do, while in ATL.Visited December 2023Travelled with familyWritten 20 December 2023

Remember those kids who wouldn’t let you play with the ball? Well, they grew up and work here now and have a second chance to play keep away and not let you kick or throw the ball. I seriously thought we had outgrown this bit as an adult just had it happen again. Just kept calling people back to take more turns to avoid letting my husband and I try, Do better and hire some adults who let everyone play! Thought we had moved past this after high school.

I'm not a huge college football fan, but it is a fun place to see. Opening video was entertaining. Some exhibits were better than others. I loved the College Gameday set. Kicking field goals at the end was fun but needed to be better organized--the museum was not that crowded and yet the line to kick field goals was like 20-30 minutes. I feel like they could have had more staff or more balls or make it a self loading thing and make it go faster. Also, wish museum focused on some of the controversies in college football-CTE, alumni donations, NIL, etc. It seems like it's missing a golden opportunity to celebrate and educate.

Not as fun as for those who like the sport, but I recommend it for sure. I followed my boyfriend, and even not knowing everything about NFL was worth it

If your a big college football fan, it is worth it. If not, you may want yo just go down the street to the aquarium

I was looking to get tickets on line and saw that a "time" is listed. As we are a group of 6 we are not sure exactly what time we all want to meet up. Can I just buy tickets when I get to the College Football Hall of Fame? What would be the advantage to buying my ticket on line?

You can purchase tickets when you arrive. The times are used to help crowd control because it is a self walking tour. I recommend visiting on a weekday because it is not as busy as the weekend. Also, if there isn't any football games in town - you might not have as much of a tourist crowd. Hope this helps! I try not to lead "Plantationer" wrong being a former resident of Plantation myself. It is a whole lot of fun!
Where can I park

There's a covered parking garage adjoined to the College Football Hall of Fame and Chick-Fil-A restaurant that charges $3 for the first hour and $1 per hour thereafter.
I parked in this garage, visited the Hall of Fame, ate lunch at Chick-Fil-A, walked a block or two and visited the Georgia Aquarium, then returned to parking garage. It was a cheaper ($2), cooler, and more secure option for me compared to driving from one parking lot to another and paying a premium for parking the first hour at another lot.

nabenom reviews the college HOF as mediocre, and says not up to Pro Standards.
It is obvious he or she has never visited the Pro Football of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
That one is the real underwhelming and disappointing exhibit. This College HOF
is hands down the best football exhibit in the world. Let alone the USA.

Thanks Bill for reviewing my review! Is that a backhanded way of saying you enjoyed the college football hall of fame more than I did?

It depends upon how much time is spent in the play area. It takes about an hour to go thru the exhibits and take in the movie. The hall is not that big. There are three floors. It also depends upon how crowded it is. I would allow at least two hours total....you could spend more time if you wanted.
