Great tour, better when museum is re-opened
Batter up! It takes a special place to craft the #1 Bat in Major League Baseball. At Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, experience history-in-the-making as you stroll through the actual factory where world-famous Louisville Slugger bats are created. The award-winning factory tour is a highlight of the visit here, but there's plenty more to enjoy along with it. Admire the World's Biggest Bat - stretching 120 feet into the sky. Hold bats actually used by baseball superstars like Mickey Mantle, Johnny Bench, Cal Ripken Jr. And Derek Jeter. Face down a 90-mph fastball hurled by a major league pitcher. Count the homerun notches Babe Ruth carved into his Louisville Slugger bat for every home run he hit with it. Step into the batting cages and take some swings with a replica model of your hero's bat. Guests even get a free miniature souvenir bat at the end of the factory tour. You can even create a bat with your own name on it, just like the pros. They make great gifts for all kinds of special occasions, from newborn babies, to groomsmen gifts, to team trophies and more. The museum store is also loaded with lots of sporty merchandise for every budget. Be sure to swing by!

Worth a Visit
I am not a big baseball fan, in fact not at all, but the Louisville Slugger bat is so iconic, that I thought this would be interesting. It was. We got to be taken into the factory part where they make the bats and found out many interesting facts. There are custom bats requested by many players. There are three kinds of wood that are used to make bats and people have different preferences about which wood to choose. Part of the museum is under renovation so we could not see all of it. There is even a batting cage where, for a small fee, you can take a swing! I would recommend this museum and factory.

Definitely worth a visit
I'm not even a baseball fan and I thoroughly enjoyed the museum and tour. I had a free morning and a friend suggested the "bat museum". The exhibits in the museum were really interesting and there were some interactive parts. One man showed us how they "brand" a wooden bat, another was carving a bat by hand. The tour itself was much more interesting than I expected. They offer lots of tours throughout the day, so it's pretty easy to get one and I definitely recommend you do!
