READY, SET, RIDE: 5 Sports Hall of Fames
for Summer Road Trips

Summer is almost here and you know what that means, summer road trips! Whether you are traveling to the old Brooklyn Dodgers stadium or reminiscing about Greg LeMond's first triumphant spin down the Champs-Elysees, America's Sports halls of fame put you smack dab in the middle of sports history.

Here are five great Sports Hall of Fames to hit our country's highways and byways and have a great summer road trip.

National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
Cooperstown, New York

Boasting 500,000 photographs, 3 million books and documents, and 38,000 artifacts, this hall takes you from the start of the sport in the 19th century right up to a locker featuring items from the most recent baseball season. And, for the ultimate fan, how about enjoying a "VIP Experience?" You'll get behind-the-scenes, after-hours access to the hall and attend a private reception.

International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame
Arlington, Texas

This hall of fame is all about, as its site claims, "5,000 years of history and 18,000 square feet of fun." It's an interactive museum with tons of historical information and collectibles devoted to one of the largest participatory sports in the world. But, just in case this doesn't get the kids scrambling to the car, it's also on the same site as Six Flags.

Pro Football Hall of Fame
Canton, Ohio

This popular attraction is just four hours away from cities such as Buffalo, N.Y., Charleston, W.Va., Cincinnati, Ohio, and Detroit, Mich. Fans can tour the museum, enjoy photo galleries and purchase special packages devoted to their favorite team. Open every day except Christmas, the hall is located close to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and provides specially priced passes to both. And if you've been there before, note that much of the museum has been updated since 2008.
