The New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame is the ultimate nostalgia trip for sports fans (and even non-sports fans). But it is also a place of learning, with one of the key tenets of the Hall being the education of New Zealanders in the sporting deeds that inspired - and helped shape - a nation.

The Hall is ideal for the casual visitor wanting to learn more about a rich sporting past, for school groups and for serious scholars working on sports history papers. A library is being established as New Zealands foremost repository of sporting history.
