- pageporterLong Island, New York677 contributionsInteresting place to kill a few hours.Interesting way to kill a few hours while in Newport. This place is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. I am not a tennis fan but I did enjoy walking around the beautiful grounds, learning about this property and seeing beautifully maintained grass courts. There is a museum, restaurant and numerous tennis courts. If you’re into tennis, I would check this place out!Visited August 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 30 September 2023
- aeroberBaldwin, Maryland157 contributionsEven a non tennis fan will enjoy!I have been watching tennis since the 80s and i thoroughly enjoyed the museum. Loved the history and loved seeing memorabilia from my favorite players. The price was reasonable and it took about 90 mins to go through the inside and another 15- 30 mins outside. But the best review i can write is my friend never followed tennis and she enjoyed it as well. Worth the time especially on a rainy day.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 16 October 2023
- Willows LeaGuildford, United Kingdom353 contributionsFor every tennis loverUnexpected delight, while visiting our friends in Rhode Island. This is a thoughtful curatorship of things tennis-related, with useful exhibits covering the history of the game, with no jingoism at all. There are static exhibits (gear, fashions, information) as well as a great schedule of video (film) highlights of the most important events in the game over the years. Outside are the beautiful buildings and grass courts which once featured the US Open event. And in summer ordinary folk can book in to play lawn tennis here! Enough to make one want to emigrate! There is a merchandise shop, but it is low-key. Clearly done with love and respect for all involved in the game.Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 4 July 2024
- AKR1503 contributionsAbsolute must for Tennis fansA fantastic place that will have tennis fans swooning. Truly exceptional setup, my only regret is we missed a tournament to be held there shortly. The history of the game is displayed in all its glory all the way to the present time with VR displays and technology allowing one to experience Roger Federer exposing the nuances of the game to you almost in his presence. Like visiting a miniature Wimbledon match! Strongly recommended.Visited July 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 7 July 2024

My wife and I are avid tennis fans, she the player and me the spectator. Have been to all 4 Grand Slams, a Davis Cup, and many of the top tourneys here in N.America (Indian Wells, Miami, Toronto, Montreal et al). Had always wanted to visit The Hall of Fame and finally got the chance on our whirlwind New England drive about! It was everything they touted and more. Spent several hours touring the beautiful facility, marveling at the wealth of exhibits, attractive grounds, descriptive history of the evolution of tennis and the struggles women faced to get women's tennis to where it is today. Well worth your time if you love tennis or are just a casually interested person.

More than 25,000 artifacts are in the museum with racquets, clothing, trophies, balls and cans. The history of how the game has evolved is told in a number on inter-active displays. You can look up your favorite player from a vast array. One room is devoted to the 4 majors: Wimbledon, French Open, Australian Open and U.S. Open. Be sure to watch the Roger Federer hologram where he talks about the 10 reasons he loves tennis. Well worth the $13 admission fee for seniors.

While the beautiful building and immaculate grass courts are a nostalgic view into tennis' past, the museum makes a good effort to include the modern sport and its super stars. Lots of interactive exhibits and film clips. The evolution of the women's game well presented. Very enjoyable. (Tennis players can sign up for court time in the pro shop.)

This museum is a landmark for the sport of tennis and is enjoyable regardless of whether you are a fan. There are interactive displays, features on the history and origins of the sport (equipment, clothing, rules, movers and shakers), and the evolution of the game and its stars, including a fascinating look at the trailblazers of women’s pro tennis. What also makes this location interesting is that the site is still active. On the way out we saw people in their tennis whites playing on the courts, and viewed the beautifully maintained stadium, grounds and casino theatre. Really interesting and well worth a visit.

The museum had a good mix of new interactive exhibits and classic history displays. Their were enough engaging elements for late elementary kids and beyond. Their was memorabilia from old and recent 2022 open winners. The Roger Federer hologram, Arthur Ash VR, and interactive trivia game exhibits were a highlight. The large complex has many additional attractions for tennis fans/players. Several people had reserved court time on the grass or hard courts. We enjoyed walking around the courts outside after the museum as casual fans. Their were two shops, a general gift store and a pro shop. We visited just after the summer open and the induction of Lleyton Hewitt in the hall.

Limited schedule of being open. A great self-guided tour of the Hall of Fame.
A lot of great displays and information about players and the history of tennis.
It was VERY cold inside on a hot summer day.

Every great tennis player has most likely been here to either play or be honored. See how they used to play and how the sport has changed over the years. Play on the clay courts that the great still use and be part of the history yourself. What a great place for the whole family to learn about this great sport. A true Gem

The Tennis Hall of Fame is a must for tennis fans. Very informative on the history of the game. The courts on site were immaculate and make for some nice pictures. The museum is relatively small. You can cover this in 2 hours or less. Please be aware that your ticket(if printed online) has a 20% discount on it. The girl in the gift shop could not be bothered to mention this fact. Very poor customer service on her part. The parking lot across the street is also very expensive so make sure you get your ticket validated.

I've been going to the Tennis Hall of Fame grass court tournament on and off since 1982. For a very brief period, the tournament had both men and women and consisted of 32 seeds each; it was a great place to see professionals play up close, real close. I went to the tournament last year and I enjoyed it immensely considering the COVID pandemic. The pandemic did subdue the excitement/atmosphere of the tournament a bit.
Overall, if you're in the neighborhood, check the "Newport Hall of Fame" out!

What is a decent but affordable place to stay nearby?
Written 31 December 2017
The Viking Hotel is well within walking distance to the Hall of Fame. The hotels in Middletown are the best rates. Uber or Lyft to Newport, or walk.
