ABOUT THE MHOF

The Mascot Hall of Fame will feature a number of interactive exhibit areas designed by Cincinnati-based Jack Rouse Associates (JRA). This award-winning firm has designed world-class family museums and attractions such as the Coca-Cola Museum in Atlanta, the Crayola Experience in Pennsylvania, and the Green Bay Packers' Hall of Fame. Guests will experience exhibits such as the "Department of Furry Arts", the "Science of Silliness Lab", and the "Phuzzical Education Department".

More than just a giant fun factory, the MHOF will house interactive, educational displays and activities that will incorporate S.T.E.A.M. education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) to compliment state and local curriculums. The MHOF will be the perfect destination for school field trips and youth organizations.

The MHOF will host year-round events that celebrate mascot fun for members and visitors. From birthday parties, to mascot boot camps, to weekly mascot appearances, there will be  something for people of all ages to enjoy. Annual mascot inductions will take place for professional and collegiate mascots who complete the application process, qualify for induction, and get voted into the Hall.
