Planning a trip to downtown Louisville? Make sure the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory on West Main Street in Louisville, KY is at the top of your list! This iconic attraction offers an unforgettable experience for baseball fans and families alike. Get ready to step into the world of baseball bat manufacturing and explore the rich history of the Louisville Slugger.
Discover the Factory Tour
One of the highlights of any visit is the guided factory tour. These tours are designed to be convenient for visitors, departing frequently every 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the season’s demand. Keep in mind that the last tour of the day starts 40 minutes before closing time. Each immersive factory tour lasts approximately 30 minutes, giving you an up-close look at the bat-making process. You’re guaranteed to see bats being crafted on every tour, every single day!
To fully enjoy the entire museum and factory experience, we recommend allowing around 2 hours for your visit. As a special memento, everyone who takes the factory tour receives a miniature souvenir Louisville Slugger bat at the end. For a truly unique keepsake, you can personalize your own bat at the museum store. Place your order upon arrival and conveniently pick it up after your tour, or arrange to have it shipped directly to your home for a small additional charge.
