A list of some of the best hall of fame vacation destinations.

Pro Football Hall of Fame

Location: Canton, Ohio

Admission Price: $10-16

It might still look like an orange juicer, but the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a terrific museum for football fans of any age. Last year nearly 200,000 people visited the museum, which has undergone several renovations and expansions in its 45-year history to make it the premiere gridiron museum in the country.

Pinball Hall of Fame

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada

Price: Free (but bring quarters for the games!)

Okay, so it's located in a strip mall near a movie theater, but where else would you expect the Pinball Hall of Fame? With 4500 square feet of vintage pinball machines ranging from the 1950s to the 1990s, this is the place to be for pinball wizards. All profits go to charity, and unlike the local arcade, every machine in the place works 100%. For sheer fun factor, this hall of fame makes the list.

Admission Price: $5 - 7.50

If you like bowling, then this is the place for you. Not only can you learn a lot about the history of bowling but you can actually bowl on the museum's lanes. How's that for cool? If that's not enough, the building also houses the St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Museum.
