What parents say
"Not very big but very informative. We loved it. The tour allows you a first hand look at the ins/outs of bat making. Wheelchairs available for use if needed at no cost. Staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable. You do receive small Louisville bats at the end of tour which my husband loved. They do have batting cages, a bat vault, and a section that shows how fast pitches occur. No food/beverage for purchase. Takes about 1 hour, maybe 2 if you are really taking your time. I definitely recommend."

"It's definitely a home run activity if you're visiting Louisville. I was blown away by the wealth of knowledge I gained about the iconic Louisville Slugger bats. The tour took us on a fascinating journey from the tree to the MLB, showcasing each step of the bat-making process in the factory. I was amazed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into creating these legendary bats. The historical facts and anecdotes shared throughout the tour were great. I loved learning about the history of the Louisville Slugger brand and its connection to baseball's greatest players. To top i"

"Enjoyable tour of museum and factory. Had fun watching the young children on our tour get so excited about the bats and baseball players. You get to walk through the areas where they are making the bats and they show you all about the special bats that the major league players have specially made for them. We even got to hold and pose for photo with Babe Ruth’s bat. You could choose from many famous players’ bats, though."
