The National Soccer Hall of Fame announced today that new admission prices will be implemented beginning Monday, June 20th.

“We last changed the admission price in 2003,” Hall of Fame Director of Operations Kathryn Dailey stated. “Over the past 2 years we have done our best to hold the line against rising prices of materials and services used by the Hall of Fame. We will continue to find ways to economize and keep our fees low, but, at this time, we felt we had to raise the admission fee to meet our expenses.”

The Hall of Fame is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week from Memorial Day through Labor Day Monday.
