The tour is neat, but I assume gets very large on weekends / in the summer, our tour group was about 15 and it was a weekday in the fall. There is nicely put together museum that is free to look around even if you aren't taking the tour. There are also bathrooms and a neat baseball glove sculpture for... more

An interesting and informative tour of the Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat Factory is worth a visit. The Museum itself is small, and the initial movie is interesting, but not reasons to spend much time here. Of course, there is a souvenier shop on site. All the staff iwere friendly and courteous and answered questions from the die-hard baseball fans. Be... more

We spent several hours here with the kids. They LOVED it. Our 7 year old spent about a half hour in the batting cages. The younger ones were in the tee-ball batting area. They loved touching the bats and getting the souvenier bat at the end. more

For a first trip to Louisville you almost had to go see the home of the Louisville Slugger. We went the weekend after Labor Day at 10 am and our tour only had a half dozen people in it. It was therefore very personal and very interactive. We passed bats around and our guide was very knowledgable about the manufacturing... more

For $10, this is worth a visit, especially if you have kids. My wife and I enjoyed the tour and museum (and we really are not big baseball people). They give mini bats at the end. It was Labor Day weekend, so very packed....but the museum is well organized and obviously just re-modeled. It was interesting to see how bats... more

The tour visits the actual bat factory - no fake or recreated displays. The workers are real and enjoy showing the craftmanship of the bats. It is a remarkable experience. The museum is full of interesting displays and memorbilia. There are batting cages available - great opportunity to try a Louisville bat. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. more

Our family went to Louisville (5 hour drive) specifically for the Slugger museum. I can tell you none of us were disappointed. My husband and kids loved seeing the MLB players that contract with the company to provide their bats for the season. We all enjoyed the tour, watching the lathe's produce a bat every 30 seconds, seeing the bats... more

We spent about 2 hours at Louisville Slugger on our way thru Louisville, KY. It was pretty easy to find, as well as the parking garage. We got our tickets, then went thru the exhibits while waiting for our tour to start. We were able to hold a game-used bat of Micky Mantle and take pictures. They also had bats... more
