Louisville Slugger Museum

What a wonderful place to visit, the tour is great. But the highlight is being able to order your very own bat. Yeah they’re a little pricy, but the best part is that it has YOUR name on it. My whole family has one. We’re going to mount them on the wall, in a rack. Of course we’re afraid to use them… they are defiantly a showpiece. more

Excellent place to stop by and tour if you’re in Louisville. The museum is all about baseball and the Louisville Slugger baseball bat, So as you can see baseball fans will love it! They show you how they make the bats and there are lots of exhibits that contain interesting baseball history and facts. more

The Louisville Slugger Museum is a good museum, but not great. I'm not a huge baseball fan, so I'm sure that dampened my enjoyment a bit. Don't get me wrong. The documentary they show is a good quality, interesting show and watching a bat be made from the raw materials is fun to watch. Or so I've been told. We went on a Sunday and apparently the bat crafters aren't working on Sundays. So we did not get to see the bat made, but we were walked through the steps in the worksop. The end of the tour is a room with a few interesting historical pieces and displays. This is the only time that you won't be chaperoned by a tour guide. Oh, and you get a free souvenir mini bat, so you don't have to buy one at the gift shop before you go in. For me, the highlight of the museum was something I got for free: a photo taken with the world's largest Louisville Slugger and another with the world's largest baseball glove. All in all, I think a baseball fan would get alot more out of this museum than I did. more
