I've always wanted to visit the HOF, but today I finally got there. It did not disappoint. This is where you come if you love baseball. It covered all the bases: eary history, records, memorabilia, Latin American presence, etc. If you're not that into baseball, it still has its charm as a piece of American history. It was exciting for... More

This is the Mecca for any true baseball fan! Took me 18 hours to get here and it was worth every second! If you haven't been here- get here. This place is awesome - the whole village is. I will be back as soon as possible- again and again More

Has a store also so haat you can purchase items relating... More

This was a surprise trip for my husband's birthday. He was overwhelmed, amazed, and shocked. I'm glad we went before the summer rush started. We had plenty of time to look and read. I really thought I would look around then leave my husband while I looked around the town. Instead we were both inside from 10-4:30 minus an hour... More

Would certainly recommend this to anyone who has ever touched a baseball -- even my Mom loved it! Seems a little pricey, but with AAA discount it was better. We went through it in about 2 hours. Certainly cannot read everything, but enjoyed "our" teams and the Hall of Fame with players you know. More

I have been wanting to visit the Hall of Fame for over 20 years and was finally able to make it there this Spring. First off, one has to note that, as the US goes, Cooperstown is off the beaten track: no Interstate can get you there directly, you actually have to drive on a regular two lane road: novel!... More

The Hall of Fame and museum is very well done. I enjoyed that the layout followed the timeline of the game. We saved the actual hall with the plaques for last and I think that is a great way to see it. I am a moderate baseball fan but live with family members who love baseball. For them it was... More

This was my 3rd visit to the baseball Hall of Fame as a tourist and I'm always impressed by how the Hall always has something new to offer and never seems out of date. We visited on a Saturday and didn't feel as though it was crowded. They had remodeled the entrance area since our last vist and it opens... More

I'm not a baseball geek but I am a big fan and this was a very good place to visit. The true geeks can spend days in here. We were here for about 4 hours and saw everything. The price being a little high is my only complaint. More
