This was a great place to visit. You get a mini bat as a souvenier for taking the tour, but before the tour, order a customized bat with favorite color, size, etc. and it's ready in 20 min! Gift shop is cool too. Just look for the MEGA bat outside.

I have enjoyed going through the Slugger Museuem several times. They take you from the beginning where they receive slabs of wood all the way through the process to where they seal the bats and process them for the baseball market.. They even give you a souveneir bat before you go for free. Cost is pretty reasonable even for a family. Nice tour!
