IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum

The International Game Association (IFGA) Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum is located at Gulf Stream Way in Dania Beach, Florida and is approximately 30 minutes drive from Miami. The museum has numerous fishing exhibits, interactive facilities, and a library and is also the world headquarters of the IGFA. The museum is open from 10am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and 12pm to 6pm on Sundays but remains closed on Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day.

Visitors to the museum can learn about the official world records held in fishing as well as seeing various exhibits about the sport. The list of hall of fame inductees can be seen here too with most names born in the 20th century but they do go as far back as the 16th century. On the second floor of the museum is the E.K Harry Library of Fishes, which contains 15,000 books and is the largest fishing library in the world.

The museum store contains a variety of reference material, clothing, gifts and souvenirs for visitors to purchase during normal museum hours. Special education programs are delivered at the museum as well for schools and adults. This facility can also be rented for special events with room to accommodate large groups of 1,000 or more.
