This is a great facility, easy to get to, with worthwhile history. Go on the Saturday morning of the induction weekend and you get free admission to meet and get autographs from that year's inductees. You may even meet past inductees. Keep in mind that I'm not even a huge basketball fan, but I look forward to every visit. One... More

If you are a fan of women's basketball, this place is a wonderful shrine. The festivities at the HOF offering during the Induction of the 2013 were outstanding. Well planned and organized with wonderful food following the Induction Ceremony. Great job by the planners and service providers!

We attended Fierce and Fancy Formals - Benefit for the Haiti Outreach Program. The Venue was perfect and elegant and lovely. Then add the cool BB info. We loved it!

I am one of the biggest Lady Vol fans out there. I enjoy seeing the history of the Lady Vol's Basketball. There are interesting things to see here. And I have heard it's a great place to have receptions. Check out this great place! GO VOLS!!

This is a nice place, clean and well organized. I'm not sure of the admission price because I went with a field trip. It had a lot of interesting history but would quickly become boring for small children. The good part is there is a large play area downstairs where everyone can display their basketball skills. It has a large... More

Was fortunate to get free admission to this well layed out and planned Women's Basketball Hall of Fame Museum. One of the exhibits that stuck out was this Old-Time Stretch Limo. It had signage saying it belonged to the "Travelling Redheads." There were some interactive exhibits, uniform displays, Basketballs that had significant reasons for being diplayed. I believe one was... More

Incredible collection of memorabilia, good location, clean, nice visit! A walk- through environment with multiple rooms of photos, balls, uniforms, and much more. Really gave me a sense of what the early days in the sport were like for teams travelling around the area.

okay so I am not a huge fan of women's basketball but it is hard to deny WHY this museum exists here. Pat Summitt is an icon in town and throughout the nation for what she has accomplished in her career. Well done as museums go and hope that it can be managed better so more could use it over... More

At first mention, a visit to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame doesn't sound interesting to any but hard core fans. Once inside there are displays showing a rich and quirky history of the sport. It's definitely worth a visit.
