Hoosier Gym is a must-visit for fans of the movie Hoosiers and basketball history. The gym is the real location where the film was shot and offers an authentic experience. Visitors can shoot baskets, sit on the locker room bench like Coach Norman Dale, and take pictures with the Hickory banner and team photo. The gym is well-preserved and in amazing condition, making it a great piece of Americana. Staff are warm and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Entry is free, and visitors often buy shirts, sweatshirts, and postcards as souvenirs. Watching the movie before visiting enhances the experience, and the gym has hosted NBA legends. It’s a special place for basketball fans and offers a memorable piece of Hoosier basketball history.
Very good experience - brought me back to the movie. Glad we stopped.

What a wonderful place. If you loved the movie you will love this gym! It is honestly like stepping back in time. Our tour guide Larry was THE BEST! He was very knowledgeable and fun 😁. Highly recommend stopping by here and grab some of their merchandise! Go Hickory!!
