I grew up about 20 miles from the Hall of Fame so I had been there a lot as a kid, but its been about 12 years since my last visit. I cant believe how it seems more beautiful than the last time I visited. It seems we remember things being much more amazing when we see them as kids... more

Everything about the museum was great. It has A LOT of things and you could easily spend all day in there I believe. My only complaint was this: they were opening up a new exhibit and they had a big press event scheduled. So they closed a rather large section of the museum all day--not just the next exhibit but... more

If you're going to put up with the cranky folks in Cooperstown, at least do it for a worthy cause -- GO to the Hall of Fame! It's just wonderful. They do a really great job of showing you baseball history and lore. I'm a "now and then" baseball fan. I love the ballpark when I go, but I don't... more

This museum has it all for every level of interest. There were baseball addicts who scrutinized every word, picture and momento on display. Others found their favorite interest - players, teams, positions or period history. People like myself, part time fans, found the historical displays a reminder of why we enjoyed the game as kids. It was great to see... more

Just returned from a week in Cooperstown. We had a son playing baseball at Dreamspark and we had a few days with time to kill. We went on their website prior to visiting and joining as family members. This entitled us to unlimited admission. If you have more than one child, it might be worth it so you can go... more

Loved the museum! Disappointed they did not have Barry Bonds * ball on display though... I would, however, recommend spending more time in Cooperstownthen we did. We went just for the Hall but would have liked to spend another day just enjoying the town in general. more

Very enjoyable. It rained so we didn't really get to see the town like we wanted. The HOF was fun and exciting. Great for baseball and non-baseball fans. It's best to park and take the trolley which is inexpensive. more

I'm not a sports fan; I escorted a group from Adventure Tours to Cooperstown to visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame. I loved the experience from beginning to end. The staff of young people who assist visitors are wonderful and attentive; the entry area is efficient; the gift shop is enticing; and the library/book shop is equally good. The... more

Being a Baseball fan is the main reason to go. If you have no interest then it may interest you. The museum is well laid out and full of knowledge. I found the employees to be rude. Great for kids!!!! more

I have desired to visit the Hall for my entire life, so my review is of little assistance to anyone who desires a fair review. I think I would have loved the hall of fame all by itself (even without any artifacts or museum attraction). But the true indicator is my wife, who had a great time. She has very... more
