Bruce is great - Never met anyone with the LOVE ❤️ of Baseball ⚾️ and it shows in this Museum. He talked with us and showed us all of his collections that he has gotten through the yearsVisited October 2023Traveled with familyWritten November 21, 2023
- 2BEis2SKICharlotte, North Carolina1,304 contributionsBallparks of the pastReally enjoyed the walk through and the owner's passion for the game is clear. I wish there was more and that a few of the things were labeled a little better but all in all, a good visit and worth the price of admission though I was solo and paying for a family of 4 would feel a little expensive. I had to call to be let in but that was no problem.Visited December 2023Written December 31, 2023

It’s like walking back in time to see all the memoriablia from the great ball parks of the past. Bruce is knowledgeable and happy to share stories or allow you to take everyone on our own.Visited April 2024Traveled soloWritten April 26, 2024

Being 65 years old and a lifetime baseball fan, so many of the artifacts in the museum brought back memories of reading, seeing pictures of, and imagining what those ballparks were like! So many of them were gone by the time the era of most games being televised came about. You’d see pictures of them in newspapers and magazines…but that was about it back then. How they acquired the variety of artifacts from the ballparks is amazing. It had to have been a very time-consuming and expensive journey for the museum owner! What made the visit even better were the explanations and background information that are a part of every exhibit. If you’re a baseball history fan, you could spend the entire day there. If you’re not a huge fan, I’d be surprised if you still couldn’t spend an hour or two and find it very worthwhile. What a place to visit! And the admission price is more than reasonable! I’ve been to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and it was fantastic. I’d say the same for the National Ballpark Museum.

We have been to Denver many times and were looking to fill about 1.5 hours one morning. We happened upon the National Ballpark Museum. Being baseball fans, we checked it out. Wow--what a find. We were transported back into the earlier days of baseball and the original ballparks. This small museum is chock full of memorabilia from days gone by. A real treat. The volunteer we met was extremely knowledgable and we spent a wonderful time talking about baseball. In the shadow of Coors Field, well worth a visit.

Great place to learn some baseball history. Staff was great and very informative. I really enjoyed all the stories to go along with some of the pieces. Anybody who is a baseball fan or historian can check out this hidden treasure in Denver. Baseball more than any other sport is full of history and lore and this museum does a good job in looking WAY back on the stadiums across baseball. They even have some fun minor league memorabilia.

Looking WAY back is also fun for us, as we find and listen to stories from the visitors that are
priceless! Every once in a while a visitor will suggest a very old ballpark with a history that we were unaware of which sends us on a quest to learn more baseball history! It is a great journey, thank you for your feedback!

This is a terrific museum that pays tribute to the history of baseball parks in the USA. It is a small place and feels a bit crowded with exhibits. Yet any baseball fan of any age will find some interesting items here. It is conveniently located near the Rockies' stadium.

I love baseball. So walking into this museum was like entering the mind of a kindred spirit. The total space is small, but is packed with genuine memorabilia from various historic baseball parks around the U.S. It also features photos and facts about some well-known favorite players such as Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth. The staff obviously love being there, as they will knowledgeably talk your ear off about baseball, while also listening to your memories. If you are ever in Denver with a free hour or two, be sure to stop here. You'll be glad you did.

The National Ballpark Museum is an absolute gem. My son and I did not know what to expect and the museum exceeded all our expectations. Both office managers, Bill and Diane were not only enthusiastic but very knowledgeable baseball fans. Their tour made the experience shine even more special.
Besides ballpark memorabilia, there was individual stuff...Ted Willams, and Shoeless Joe Jackson's bats among them.
As the exhibits are constantly updated with new memorabilia, we will be sure to stop in again next time we are in town....Kurt

My husband and I stopped by this small and hidden museum before a Rockies game. My husband is a huge fan so he got to see artifacts from all of his favorite players - Babe Ruth, Johnny Bench, Hank Williams. Although the “museum” is small, it is packed with a ton of fun things for the baseball fan. It took about 45min for us to go through the museum, but we certainly could have stayed longer. Would be ok for kids but only if they know the old players. Great place for other baseball historians.

This was an amazing little place tucked into a building right around the corner from Coors Field. I can't imagine our visit to Denver and a Rockies game would've been the same if we had NOT visited this place! LOTS of cool history on ALL MLB teams (like sections for each team). It's not huge, so you can do an under-an-hour tour to just see the highlights or you can really get into ALL of the historical details and spend hours in there! Staff member at front desk was friendly and informative (seemed like a manager or owner, definitely loved his job!). CHECK THIS OUT!

What a treat it is to share the history of the old ballparks and baseball history. Our volunteers and owner Bruce Hellerstein spend much time researching any new information the visitors share with us. Their donations make it possible to continue talking about this love of America's favorite pass time!! Thank you!!

Stunning collection of baseball history! A must see when in Denver for any baseball fan. We purchased some handmade baseball jewelry made by a local baseball superfan with real leather. Autographed memorabilia is also available. We’ll be back every time we visit Denver.

it depends on you. The place is small, but there are lots of little things and intricate details that can take some time to see. My wife and I took about 45 min to an hour and looked at a lot of different things. For planning purposes I would say 1 hour.
