Just about everyone knows what it means to say a player will "make it to Cooperstown." The little village in central New York state is synonymous with the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum or, as fans refer to it, "the Hall." This shrine to baseball and everything the game means underwent major renovation and expansion during the 1990s and its programs and collections are truly a must for families of fans or those who are curious about history. Prepare to spend a few hours in this enlightening museum touring each floor and marveling at the displays of artifacts from every era of the national pastime. The plaques of every inductee are housed in one great hall and to go from one to the next, reading of these baseball greats is go back in time, to recall a fan's heroes and, in the words of the great baseball writer Roger Angell, to "remain forever young."
Loved every minute of this museum. And that's what it is...a museum of baseball. If you're not interested in the history of baseball, you probably will be bored or done with the tour in an hour. we were there all day. I suggest you DVR or rent Ken Burn's Baseball series and watch before you visit Cooperstown. As in any attraction, get there when they open to avoid the crowds. We then found a coffee shop for lunch and a rest and went back for a few more hours.
我们非常开心,我们是夏天之后来的,那会儿已经完全不拥挤了。只是希望在淡季他们的开放时间能够持续到下午五点以后。
我们青春年少的儿子们选择了古柏镇作为我们的度假目的地,参观国家棒球名人堂博物馆没有让我们失望。全家人都度过了愉快的一天,我们真的很欣赏这个地方致力于发展我们喜爱的棒球运动。与其它博物馆相比,我们欣赏这个博物馆的布局以及它的规模。你能在一天之内参观完它,午饭时休息一下,下午回来再完成参观。棒球名人堂很独特,因为它可以让你了解棒球的历史,追随多年来强队的发展进步,讨论那些刚刚开始或正在创造历史的球员/球队。每个球迷都能在这儿找到适合他们的东西,无论是年轻人,老年人或是处于中间某个年龄阶段的人们,值得珍藏的回忆!
这家博物馆筹划的很好,现代。很多展品,老幼皆宜。每一个小时就会放映十五分钟有趣的动态影像。我们很喜欢此次旅行。(库波斯顿(Cooperstown)本身也很漂亮!)
We had the place pretty much to ourselves on a snowy February day. That suited me just fine and I relished visiting the greats of baseball at my own pace and in a peaceful space.I like that the Hall isn't all flashing lights and noisy displays. It simply shows you the history of baseball, its great participants and its glorious history is a straightforward, non-glitzy fashion.Well worth a visit, particularly off-season.
Delightful museum for diehard baseball fans and even those with limited interest. Well done exhibits, plan to spend several hours to see it all. Must see if you are in Cooperstown.
If your a Baseball fan like me, this is a must see, in this charming little Village there lies all the baseball history worth seeing. If you purchase your ticket after 7PM it is also good for the whole next day, and you need more that one day to see everything.
Baseball fans: make the trip. Lots to see, lots of interactivity, fun for the whole family. Be prepared for swarms of kids in the summertime.
Small town with a lot of baseball history. If you are into baseball memorabilia and the history of baseball this is the place to go
