What the Hall of Fame inside Lambeau Field holds, when it opens, and how gamedays change the visit.
Walk into the Lambeau Field Atrium on an ordinary weekday and the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame is waiting, two floors of the team's past that you can visit without a game ticket. It sits in the stadium's Atrium, so a visit here is also your way into the building. If you are building a day around the team, start with the wider list of Green Bay attractions and use this page for the museum itself.
Where the Hall of Fame is and when it opens
The museum shares the address of Lambeau Field, 1265 Lombardi Avenue, and the two share the Atrium building. Inside, the Packers describe the Atrium as a 376,000-square-foot space on the stadium's east side that also holds the Pro Shop and 1919 Kitchen & Tap. The Packers' hours page lists the Hall of Fame as open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. That page carries no date, so treat the times as a guide. It adds that hours can change for events, holidays and gamedays, so check before you go.

Admission prices are the gap. The official pages send you to a separate pricing link instead of printing a number, and an older article's price list is too out of date to repeat. The same hours page says tours can be bought online or at the Hall of Fame desk in the Atrium. A Packers notice from September 2026 says Hall of Fame admission is valid all day on the date you buy.
How a hall of fame for one team began
The story starts small. Packers Hall of Fame Inc. was established in 1967 as an independent not-for-profit, separate from the team, and the first induction ceremonies followed in 1970. FOX 11 reports that the exhibit began in the old arena as a temporary display that was meant to close by Labor Day, until public interest set off a nine-year search for a permanent site.
President Gerald Ford dedicated that first permanent building on April 3, 1976, at Lombardi Avenue and Oneida Street in Ashwaubenon, and FOX 11 calls it the first hall of fame built to honor a single professional football team. It closed in 2002. The collection moved into the Lambeau Field Atrium on September 4, 2003, and the current Hall of Fame opened on August 21, 2015. One quirk for researchers: Wikipedia puts that 2015 move on the second floor, while the Hall of Fame Inc. page says the first, so this guide does not say which floor you enter on.
What you see across the two floors
At the 2015 opening, coverage listed the four Lombardi Trophies, a Super Bowl ring collection, a replica of Lombardi's office, an Ice Bowl exhibit and a searchable database of players. Coverage described video of former players telling the games in their own words. If time is short, make it the Lombardi office and the Ice Bowl theater. One visitor singled out the Lombardi office mock-up and a theater with fake fans in the stands.
The temporary spaces are where the visit changes. The Hall unveiled "6 Degrees of Curly Lambeau" in July 2026, an exhibit on the founder's 1918 season at Notre Dame and his Wisconsin ties, including Jim Crowley, one of the Four Horsemen, who later coached Lombardi at Fordham. Exhibits rotate, and the Packers did not say how long this one runs, so ask at the desk what is currently on.
Inductees and the July banquet
Being inducted is the point of the place, and the numbers are slightly slippery. The Hall of Fame's own pages give 168 and 173 inductees since 1970, so quote neither as final. The 2026 class, Tramon Williams and Earl Dotson, was honored at a banquet in the Atrium on Thursday, July 30, according to a Packers release from June 2026. The year before, the Hall opened a temporary exhibit for Sterling Sharpe ahead of his Pro Football Hall of Fame induction.
Planning around gamedays and tours
Tours run the day before and the day after home games, and the Packers' September 2026 notice says they often sell out. The Classic tour lasts about an hour, Champions 90 minutes and Legendary two hours, and an add-on Combo package bundles a tour with Hall of Fame admission. Tour tickets are good only for the time you pick, so buy ahead. Plan a non-game weekday for the quiet version of this visit, and expect the building to be cashless, per the Packers' Atrium page.
Gameday Atrium hours get tangled, with one official page giving two different closing times, so read the current gameday notice rather than relying on this page. Everyone needs a ticket to enter, babies included, according to a gameday page that may predate this season.
What is around it
The closest extra stop is Johnsonville Tailgate Village, about 0.1 mile away in the east parking lot outside the Oneida Nation Gate. It describes itself as a 13,242-square-foot venue with a full kitchen, a bar and a party deck, and says it is open to the public without a ticket for gameday events.
For a sit-down meal, Taverne in the Sky is about 0.2 mile west on South Ridge Road, a fifth-floor dining room with a view of the field, open for lunch and dinner according to its own page.
The wider choice of eateries around the stadium adds the sports-bar strip, including Stadium View, about 0.4 mile away, where one reviewer mentions a huge rooftop bar and game-day memorabilia.
Sleeping close is possible. The Hampton Inn by Hilton Green Bay Stadium, about 0.4 mile away, describes itself as within walking distance of the stadium and says it displays Packers memorabilia. If the museum leaves you wanting an event instead, the Resch Center is about 0.3 mile off.
One visitor said it is hard not to get caught up in it even if you are not a die-hard fan, though the museum rewards fans of this team most, and it pairs easily with a stadium tour or a meal afterward. Come on an ordinary weekday, as this page began, and the Atrium is the easy way in.
