Totally awesome tour and definitely worth it. All of my kids enjoyed it. The free mini bat is a nice touch either. Keeping four boys from poking each other with them is a different story. After the tour you get to see the museum which has some nice extra items in it. We came on a holiday on the fourth of July weekend and only had to wait 10 minutes for a tour to start.
A fascinating place for baseball fans as well as those with just a passing knowledge of the game. Watch bats being created out of blocks of wood. When we were there, they were making bats for opening day. You can also get a personalized bat. There are displays highlighting baseball greats and other unique facets of the sport. A great attraction and an easy walk from downtown.
We really enjoyed this place! Great tour and I learned so much! I'm not a baseball fan, yet the rich history of the game, the process of making the bats, and learning about the players was incredibly interesting. I definitely recommend visiting, you will not be disappointed. We also got customized bats made. Very reasonably priced and it was only about a 15-20 minute wait.
If you you baseball and its history, this is a place you must visit! The visit includes a tour inside the factory where you can see how bats are made. The exhibitions are simply amazing! You can hold a bat that belonged to Babe Ruth in 1933, you can see bats from Joe Di Magio, Roberto Clemente, Jackie Robinson, Roger Maris, Tyler Cobb, and some other legends. You can buy nice souvenirs at the gift store and even get a customized bat. I highly recommend this museum.
We needed a stop on our road-trip from MN to Panama City Beach to break it up and stretch our legs and let me tell you this didn’t Disappoint!! Our teenage kids Loved stopping here and doing the tour! They were all very happy that we decided to do it! As parents that was a success! Best part is, Each person got a Mini Bat as keepsake with Tour Ticket Cost! No need to spend anymore in gift shop! 2-4-1
Had a wonderful time at the museum! My boyfriend is a huge baseball fan so it was really cool to learn how baseball bats are made. The factory tour was very educational. You get to see how bats are carved, how they are painted and finished, why the team logos are printed on a specific spot on the bat. I never would’ve guessed how manual this process was. And of course we love our mini souvenir bat we received after the tour.
Simply incredible. This place knows how to brand by making baseball bats interesting to even non-baseball fans. Great tour guide, as well as watching actual bats being made was fascinating. By the time you walk out of the factory you can't help but order a personalized slugger. Their marketing and resulting visitor experience is definitely on the next level.
Enjoyable to learn its history and H&B’s contribution to baseball. Plenty of information to read and enjoy without taking the tour. Highly recommend for all ages with it without children. For the tour is cost 18 per non senior adult. It was touching to hear a patron raise a Hank Aaron bat to his shoulder for a picture noting how he watched him in many games as a kid. Very much moved me.
This is a must stop place if you are planning a visit to Louisville. Parking is easy as behind the building is parking lot. You do have to pay to park. Around the area is the baseball walk of fame. Once at the museum you see the world's largest bat. Pictures can be taken anywhere in the museum and factory. You even get to hold bats from famous players like Babe Ruth or a member of your favorite team. You even get a free mini bat at the end of the tour
If you love baseball this is a must-see museum. Regular tour is fairly priced, professionally done with audio and video narration and a tour guide that was very fun, knowledgeable, and professional. Plus, you get a free mini bat for each paid person on your tour. Check out the gallery where you can hold the same bats used by Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and others! Super cool experience!
