Okay, I don't care two sticks about dog racing, but this place was really boring. It didn't make me any more interested than I was.

When I first walked in the dogs (I think one of their names was Jade) came right up to us. Walked around a bit and saw all of the neat trophies and art but had to leave soon to get on the road for home. Enjoyed the quick visit very much.

I enjoyed the staff and the dogs. The place was very clean and very informative. The torphies and awards that were on display were magificent. The walk through the halls was very informative to America's past.

Right across the street from the Eisenhower Library, this is worth seeing. They were setting up for an event that evening so Gary and Jade were being kept in the front office but you could still pet them over their little fence, great dogs! There is a lot to see in the museum and it's easily laid out. We are... More

We stopped at the Greyhound Hall of Fame on a whim, just to see what it is. What a pleasant surprise! After being greeted at the door by two real, live retired greyhounds, we found the rest of the museum to be very informative. If you have ever enjoyed ancient artworks, after visiting this museum you will be able to... More

It doesn't get any better than being greeted by two Greyhounds at the door. The dogs were amazing. I never knew there was so much history behind their racing. I will recommend it to my friends.

Even if you don't already love grey hounds you will at least find the fascinating by the end of your self guided tour. Who knew grey hounds were the dogs on Egypt's walls or the only dog mentioned by bread in the bible?

Ambassadors for Greyhound racing, two retired greyhounds, greet you as you walk in. The museum has a movie and then is self guided. It does a good job of covering the history of greyhound races as well as the basics of training the dogs.

Greyhound Hall of Fame is just across the street from the Eisenhower Mueseum. It was free. I think you would find anyone that has ever been to a dog race would find the film about it's history interesting. It's not a destination on it's own but if your right across the street take it in. Live greyhounds will even meet... More

A surprisingly interesting museum. I was very impressed with the work, talent and knowledge of the director (Sheele?)
