This was a pretty big disappointment. First of all, the location is REALLY weird. It's kind of right on a huge lake, but it's also on the same property as a BP refinery. When you pull up, the location looks promising, but the look of the building and the few little things outside is the best part. When you hear the words Mascot Hall of Fame, the first thing you think of is mascots. Maybe some big displays with the mascots, the history of the mascots with their teams, the actual costumes. Well, you get none of that. There is a small section with a few collectibles, one full mascot costume, and the rest is just an interactive childrens playground. That would be fine if it was called Childrens Interactive Mascot Center, but it is supposed to be a "hall of fame" The hours on the website were wrong, so when we got there, we had 10 minutes to check everything out. If it tells you anything, we were able to see every exhibit in the 10 minutes we had. The only reason I would recommend this place is because it is cheap and it will keep your kids busy if you have kids.

More fun than I expected to be honest. All staff members were fun and friendly. Super interactive and tons of things to do! We got our tickets in advance via Groupon!! Highly recommend ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS check Groupon for family outings first. Wear socks and shoes for fun zones! Or buy a pair at the ticket counter for about $5 (or in the gift shop for $11 😧🤯) They only have toddler and adult sizes though 😕🤷🏼‍♀️ Check their website before planning a visit for even more fun-tertainment! WE MET PETE THE CAT! But they also have other activities like induction to the Mascot Hall of Fame, Breakfast with Mascots, senior days and more!!

This place was awesome. We won an annual membership through a contest at our local library and were finally able to make a trip this weekend. You weave through a bunch of steel and oil refineries to get here, but its worth it. The first floor features all the different sports for kids to play with/on. The 2nd floor has a build a bear workshop and lots of interactive exhibits built around mascots. They have their own mascot, Reggy, that came out and played with the kids, which they loved. We also had lunch there and spent $30 for a family of four. We live about 1.5 hours away from here, but will definitely make the trip again.

My family had a great time today at the Mascot Hall Of Fame Museum! We came because our youngest daughter has always loved mascots and costumes.We wanted this adventure to help encourage her creativity. She was inspired, and so was our entire family. It wasn't too crowded, and the staff was very kind. Special acknowledgement to Danika who worked at the Build- A- Mascot area today. She was very kind and patient and help elevated our experience. Job well done!

This was a fun place to take the kids to and have some learning about team mascots. There are plenty of activities to keep the kids attention as well as mascot building games and projects. The building was clean and the staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable. Edit: Their staff really impressed me with their birthday package. I was incredibly impressed with both the pricing and the service for my son's birthday.

Great little find here in Whiting Indiana! Kids had a great time. The build a mascot was my sons favorite. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the prices. I understand there is a discount for members of some sort but for people from out of town it’s kind of steep. $12 for age 3 and up 😲 Regardless, we had fun and it was very entertaining as well as informative. Such a rich history! We will visit again.
