Great experience for any fan of baseball. I hadn t been since I was a kid and went again with my Dad yesterday 35 years later. We were there 3 hours, if you want to read everything it would take all day. The staff was great and the history amazing. Such a classy place. It would be impossible not to enjoy it.
If you truly love baseball, there s no better place to visit and well worth your drive. First time visiting in over 20 years and it gets better each time I visit. Can t wait to visit again in another 20 years.
I've been here once as a child with my father and once as a father taking my children. All of the kids loved it and were fascinated with a lot of the history. I think they may have enjoyed it even more than I did when I came with my father...and i'm far more into baseball than they are.
Everything is clean and well maintained and all of the employees are friendly. Doesn't hurt that we're Yankees fans so there's a lot for us to see haha.
I'm not that much of a baseball fan, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the Baseball Hall of Fame!! The movie that they played that day was very, very interesting!! I learned so much about baseball just from the movie alone. The interviews with Hank Aaron and others I thought were very well done... to the point I was almost crying when Hank described what he had to go through being black and just trying to play the sport he loved!! A great place to visit in Cooperstown, NY!!
The museum is a wonderful place to go on a rainy day in the area. So much things to see and baseball items to admire. The actual Baseball Hall of Fame was amazing and very grand! I highly recommend this place to check out!
Just went to the Football Hall of Fame earlier this month. I like Cooperstown more because of the intimacy. A do love baseball, much more than football... which got me emotional listening to the greats talking about the game they loved and their personal commitment to the game. Three floors of great memorabilia.
Visited yesterday with my Dad 35 years after the first time we went together. Great experience, classy place. Staff super helpful and friendly. Any fan of baseball should make a trip if they can. We spent 3 hours there and you could spend all day if you want to read everything. They had a theater with a short movie/presentation which was a nice way to start it off and so much history. Being a Yankee fan, there was a ton to look at! I can t imagine anyone not enjoying it.
So much stuff to see here. Very time consuming so be aware you're going to spend quite a few hours here. I loved every bit of it. My favorite part we're all the plagues on the 1st floor and the Babe Ruth section. Also the 17 minute movie was a joy to watch. And I so enjoyed the woman's player section. It was really cool to see that and be remembered by the movie A League Of Their Own. If you love baseball I highly suggest you visit this place in your lifetime. It's totally worth it!
If you religiously watch baseball, if baseball is your life, or you are a huge fan, this place is the Mecca of Baseball. The Birthplace of Baseball. Every fan should make a pilgrimage here and pay their respects the the immense history in side. The whole family had a great time, and my boys loved the scavenger hunt. We spent a little over 2 hours there. We got there early and parked for the day by the Doubleday batting cages ($10) and took in Cooperstown and the whole atmosphere. Enjoy your trip.
What a gorgeous museum. Three stories and full of history. But the best best part was the small beautiful town. You must visit
