Upon approaching the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory you are welcomed by a six story replica of Babe Ruth's bat. This Louisville institution is not only a tribute to America's greatest past time, it's also a working factory.
The museum portion is dedicated to the history of the Slugger and of Major League Baseball. Be sure to take the factory tour where you can see these famous bats being made. You'll even have the opportunity to take a swing with these bats before they are sent off to the players. Visitors insist that the museum and factory are a must see, even if you're not a baseball fan.
Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory is open seven days a week. However its hours are seasonal, so be sure to check the website before heading over from Avana Southgate.
