I took my 10 year old son to Cooperstown in early Nov. We had a great visit. The museum opens at 9 and we got there 5 minutes earlier and were the first ones inside. The museum was fairly empty for most of the day. We spent about 5 hours inside and that was plenty of time for us to... more

On a recent trip to New York / Long Island, we headed up to the Mecca of Baseball-- National Baseball Hall of Fame. Because traffic and timing is hard to judge (in San Diego... 60 miles means 60 minutes but it's not the same everywhere!), I'd guess it's about 5-6 hours' drive from Long Island. What a perfect time to... more

We went mainly to see the Baseball Hall of Fame, which I had visited before at a much younger age. We realy enjoyed our visit and were very impressed with the Hall. We had more time to see everything and took many pics. We ate locally at an Italian restaurant across from the Hall and were dissapointed, not as advertised... more

unless you are into baseball (as we are) it may be too disappointing. There should be MORE videos of CLASSIC PLAYS. As senior citizens, we found the descriptions on the display case cards difficult to read (because of the sizing of the letters and the glare of the glass). The description cards outside the cases had large lettering and were... more

This museum has such broad appeal, you'd expect to find it in a major metropolitan area, but it's located in a small resort town in the countryside of New York state. This is one of those trips you think about taking, finally do it and say, "What took so long?" If you like baseball, you'll really like the National Baseball... more

My husband and I went to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in July 2009. Wonderful experience! We were only in town for a day, but could have spent days looking at everything in the Museum. The amount of memorabilia and amazing history in that building is mind boggling. No baseball fan's experience is complete without a visit... more

We visited a couple of summers ago. The interactive amusement was broke. I had called to get the AAA price, but it was higher when we got there. I believe we paid $52 with the discount. There is nothing else in the area (except baseball stuff). Just didn't like anything about it and considered it a waste of our time/money. more

My wife, son (a 20-year-old baseball junkie) and I visited here 8/09 and certainly weren't blown away. The location and site were fine but something was missing. Even my son couldn't put a finger on it, just saying he was expecting something....different. Maybe one of the earlier reviewers was right, the place needed more videos. Parking was at a premium,... more

If you are a baseball fan -- youll love the Hall of Fame. I really enjoyed it ... but the HOF really needs to use more video. There are so many clips, plays, players -- that should be shown. The Football Hall of Fame has a video presentation on every player -- that you can use a touch screen to... more

I am sure there are many wonderful reviews for this so my review is to those who like myself enjoy the game but would not travel to Cooperstown to visit this museum. MY ADVICE: Make sure you visit. It is a very well laid out museum with incredible displays. If you have even the slightest interest in baseball, you will... more
