This was a great place to visit. You get a mini bat as a souvenier for taking the tour, but before the tour, order a customized bat with favorite color, size, etc. and it's ready in 20 min! Gift shop is cool too. Just look for the MEGA bat outside.

I haven't lived here in Louisville very long, but my parents were visiting from Florida and wanted to go to the museum. I do like baseball, I don't know very much, but I enjoy watching it. The only thing that bothered me about the tour was the no pictures policy. They said there was another baseball bat manufacturer in St. Louis and they didn't want pictures leaking out... Well... couldn't someone who used to work at the factory or someone who took the tour just give this information out? Didn't make too much sense to me. I did enjoy the tour, the tour guide was very friendly and had a sense of humor. I enjoyed my free little baseball bat and the gift shop was nice. Overall, I do recommend it if you're from Louisville or not. The price was worth it.

I have enjoyed going through the Slugger Museuem several times. They take you from the beginning where they receive slabs of wood all the way through the process to where they seal the bats and process them for the baseball market.. They even give you a souveneir bat before you go for free. Cost is pretty reasonable even for a family. Nice tour!
