The tour is great, taking you through how bats were first made the design of bats, and players special requests. They show you everything from their selection of wood to how they dry cut and Mill modern bats. And then at the end they stamp on the iconic Louisville Slugger emblem.
A lot of fun to see the production facilities for these baseball bats, they have a really nice tour with equipment running, videos, and knowledgeable guides. The museum was well done also and the baseball fans among us reverently donned gloves to be able to swing bats from some of their favorite players. For a small fee you can also try out a batting cage ..... we won't discuss how well I did with that! Well worth a trip, good for all ages, as well as those that are only casually interested in baseball.
This place is great. Pick a time to go for a tour and then get there early. You get to walk through a museum where you can hold game-used bats from Hall of Fame players. Or you can test your arm pitching speed or you can stand behind a catcher and see what it is like to be the Umpire in a 100 mile per hour fastball. There is a lot of baseball history to read and see in that one room.
Tour of the factory, lesson in history, museum of famous bats, automatic pitching simulator of what a 90 mph fastball looks like to a batter, gallery of amazing Lego creations, batting cages, pitching simulator to test your speed and accuracy, short theatrical documentary on players' opinions of bats, and swinging, tourists also have the opportunity to hold real bats of famous players. I held Mantle's bat and Tony Gwynn's. There is also a gift shop, of course. You can order a custom bat, when you get there, and it'll be ready by the time you're done doing what you want to do.
You can see the gift shop and the museum for free. I had to see and read everything because I'm a baseball nut. So I was there for about 3 hours. I had my wife and 4 young kids (ages 4-9), and none of us got bored at any time. I recommend this place to everybody.
I was only in town for a couple days, but made time to swing by. The museum was great, tons of history. Got to hold some old game used bats. Tour was impressive! Seeing how quickly a bat is created was impressive. And I got a free mini-bat at the end. I would highly recommend for any baseball fans out there.
This was interesting. The kid that gave the tour was very entertaining!!! I was there 12/16 2pm I believe, if that helps for his recognition. I didn't expect to walk out with so many free items. It was well worth the price of admission.
