Family Programs

Visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum to see the family fun and learning opportunities we have in store for your family.

All-Star Gala

Join the excitement and entertainment as the Hall of Fame hosts the annual All-Star Game Gala. The night includes games, prizes, food, entertainment, and, of course, live coverage of the All-Star Game on the big screen in the Grandstand Theater.

Boy Scout and Girl Scout Discovery Tours

Both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts can earn patches when they come to the Hall of Fame by completing a special Scavenger Hunt designed to guide scouts through our museum with a special focus on the virtues and character traits exemplified by good scouts.

Cabin Fever Film Series

Collaborating with the Fenimore Art Museum and the Glimmerglass Festival, we offer free movies on Friday nights during the months of January and February. Each year the movies that screen in the Hall's Grandstand Theater are chosen with family friendliness in mind.

Discovery Tour

Kids and families can complete our Discovery Tour – a special scavenger hunt designed to help guide younger visitors through our museum. Kids can hand in their completed tour at the museum's bookstore to earn a free gift.

Extra Innings Overnight

Be one of the lucky few to spend a night with baseball's legends! Children ages 7-12 and their parents can sleep in the Hall of Fame Gallery among the plaques honoring Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson and the rest of baseball's greats. The evening includes all-access to the museum's public areas after-hours, special hands-on programs throughout the museum, and a late-night snack and a movie in the Bullpen Theater.

These daily experiences are included with the cost of museum admission.
