Very interesting tour- the guide was very witty & informative. Great historical perspective of the sport as well. It was heartwarming to hear of an American business started in the 1800s that is still going strong! We also got our own personalized bat with the SF Giants logo....YAH go SF!

This place is great for everyone! Take the tour through the factory and they give you a bat. The displays are somewhat interactive too.

My wife and I visited the museum over the Memorial Day weekend and were very pleased with what we saw. We took the tour and also visited the gallery. A bat is one of those things you really take for granted until you start thinking about it. We would recommend this to anybody with any interest in baseball or softball... More

Thank you for such a nice tribute to mothers on Mother's Day. Free admission to moms, hearing about using pink bats on Mothers Day only and receiving a small pink bat as a souvenier was a great way to spend my mothers day.

What I really liked is the history of Baseball. Liked looking at the bats that the old timers used in there day. The museum tour was worth the trip. HINT: park in the parking garage...fee for parking also.
