Others to Consider: Boston Museum of Science, Worcester Historical Museum, Christa McCauliffe Planetarium, Providence Children's Museum, Spellman Museum of Stamps & Postal HistoryLocated in Springfield, Mass., the birthplace of basketball, the Basketball Hall of Fame is a 48,000 square-foot museum with three levels of entertaining and educational exhibits.
Dedicated to the game's inventor, Dr. James Naismith, the Hall's original purpose was to provide a showcase honoring basketball's greatest players, coaches, teams and contributors.
The Basketball Hall of Fame has certainly stuck to that mission, but it has steadily evolved into much more. It's a marriage of history and modern technology, asking all who visit to feel rather than just read why the game of basketball is so special.
