I know nothing of baseball, nor do I care for it either. But it was important for me to visit this Museum! Incredibly informative. Especially the part about Jackie Robinson.

Find out it was closed temporarily when I arrived but the website didnt say it was closed. Better communication and updating the website. So I have not been in the museum yet.

I took my 2 kids and on that day we had arrived just after a school field trip so there were alot of kids and its not a large space. Everyone is very nostalgic and helpful but parking is the drawback. Its a business district so we had to walk 5 blocks. Overall wish we could have spent more time learning.

The museum is very nice. I gathered some valuable, historical information. It was very well laid out. I enjoyed the walking tour. Parking is difficult. There is not a parking lot, only spaces on the street.

I thoroughly enjoyed the museum. As a mother of two boys, you are always searching for ways to educate your children and keep their interest. This place did exactly that. Ms. Natasha demonstrated to my 9 year old how the baseball simulator worked, and he was ecstatic. The museum not only shows a rich history of baseball, but it threads in elements of common interests for everyone.

This is an amazing Museum with a lot of history. The inter activity was a great component; my 3-year-old enjoyed it. Our tour given by the director of the museum was enlighten and fresh. We will definitely be coming back and telling all of our in town and out of town friends and family about this great learning treasure.

The Museum is a true gem in the city! I was impressed by the kinds of rare artifacts housed there and by the fact that you can visit on a random day and end up meeting one of the former players. The director - Natasha - is warm and welcoming, and is passionate about highlighting the collection and gaining support for the Museum.

I have had the opportunity to visit the museum on several occasions in the past few months and loved the facility. The director, Natasha Rogers, was very professional and her team was very helpful. I definitely look forward to attending for future events.

The facility is centrally located to many attractions that include food, entertainment, and more. I have visited twice this year and the staff is always welcoming, facility is clean, and the collections are instrumental in learning the history of baseball in Alabama. If you are in the area please make plans to visit and introduce yourself to their team. Its also a great place to host an event.

Arrive at the museum at 11:15 on Monday July 3 to check it out. Called to confirm it was open but was told to check the website, website specifically lists holidays that it is closed, July 4th it is, does not list today and says it is open on Mondays. It isnt open in observation of the holiday. Could have gone somewhere else but wasted my time driving downtown.
