Where is the BC Sports Hall of Fame?

The BC Sports Hall of Fame is located by Gate A at BC Place Stadium. The stadium’s address is 777 Pacific Boulevard South, but it’s a big place. The museum, and Gate A, can be found at the intersection of Beatty Street and Robson by the Terry Fox Plaza on the northwest side of the stadium.

Just a couple of blocks down the street from Gate A is the Stadium-Chinatown SkyTrain Station at the corner of Beatty and Dunsmuir.

Ways to Save

There are a number of ways to save on the cost of admission at the BC Sports Hall of Fame.

People with ticket stubs to BC Place events, BC Lions football games, Vancouver Canucks hockey games and Vancouver Whitecaps soccer games, for example, get 50% off the price of regular admission on game days. To be eligible for the discount, show your ticket stub at the front desk.

Other discounts include members of Hosteling International getting in for the price of a youth or student, which is good for older members who aren’t students. Also, visitors to Science World or the Vancouver Lookout more often than not qualify for a 20% discount.

What to Expect

At the BC Sports Hall of Fame expect to see lots of team jerseys and helmets, other sports equipment and autographed memorabilia in glass displays.

Sports memorabilia from major Vancouver and other BC teams are most prominent, obviously, but there are also artifacts from Indigenous sports and the British Commonwealth Games.

Exhibits at the attraction include the Vancouver 2010 Gallery, which features items from the 2010 Olympic Games, and the In Her Footsteps Gallery, which highlights the achievements of women in sport. There is also the Hall of Champions Gallery, which showcases specific famous athletes, and the Aboriginal Sport Gallery, Terry Fox Gallery and Rick Hansen Gallery.

Terry Fox was a young one-legged Vancouver-raised athlete who attempted to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. Rick Hansen is another world-famous Vancouverite who raised millions for spinal cord research while wheel-chairing around the globe.

There are other exhibits at the BC Sports Hall of Fame too, including some hands-on activities and a model of BC Place Stadium. It’s not a huge facility, but it’s surprising how much they manage to fit in!
