Located pretty close to Camden Yards, this is a real must-see for anyone interested in baseball. The birthplace of Babe Ruth is commemorated with a museum and historic rooms showing the parlor and bedroom where he was born. It's probably worth checking when games are on as it is quite small and both times I've been has been pretty empty however I don't know how well it would deal with a lot of guests as some of the rooms are quite small.
I'm not a huge baseball fan but I like the museum. There are different sections on his home life and career alongside videos and memorabilia (baseball cards too!) and it's really interesting to read and see just how much impact he had and still does today. There's a small gift shop and restrooms too- the entrance is up a few small steps and looks like a house door but I think there's another entrance for guests with mobility issues as well.
I have trouble with the door (the entry door does have a little baseball on it so if it doesn't, that's the wrong one!) but if you too can't open the door, for the love of God don't use the doorbell- struggle on or knock!
I would say, on both my visits I did find the staff a little brusque, which some could interpret as rude. Listening to other interactions, I think if you're a real baseball fan and can wow them with a good bit of knowledge you might win them over!
The museum is interesting, informative, and well maintained. I learned a lot about baseball history and Babe’s life within 1 hour! Worth the ticket price. Street parking is easy to find nearby.
I went to the Babe Ruth museum on a particular awesome day in Baltimore and I was glad I did! It's pretty fricken big, clean all over has tons of awesome displays and Exhibits, with my personal favorites being the baseball card and the time Babe spent overseas, and everything is just really in depth clean and easy to move around in! The service at the front was great and very helpful, no problems there. Pricing was too bad to get in and fins parking on the outside, even if the latter annoys me to no end. Those two things aside, the Babe Ruth Museum was awesome, it's more than just a shrine to baseball and Ruth itself if you ask me and I could not recommend it more if you're in the area!
Pictures and videos are of the outside and inside of the building, Exhibits and displays, and souvenirs I got!
Nice little museum that's the "Official Museum of the Baltimore Orioles". It's also the only museum that has both a real MLB World Series Trophy ('83 Baltimore Orioles) and a NFL Lombardi Trophy (SB 5 Baltimore Colts) in the same place.
Step in and step back in baseball history of the Babe. It's not extensive, but there are quite a few amazing pieces of Babe history.
Autographed baseballs adorn one section of a wall, rooms with old furniture, vintage baseball cards- as a sportscard collector, This was really awesome to see and experience!
There's a small gift store where you can purchase bobble heads, Babe shirts, and other memorabilia.
What really captivated me was the streets and alleys around Babe's childhood house 🏠 I could imagine a young Babe Ruth outside playing catch and hitting the ball around.
It was truly an exciting experience for me 😀
Great museum. Got to learn a lot about Babe Ruth. The exhibits are very well curated and the employees are very knowledgeable and approachable if you have any questions
Great to see where Babe was born...to see the house. Right down the street from the Yards, so my son and I got to walk there before the game. Got to explain some baseball history to him and help spark his interest. There was also an interesting presentation on the history of the "Star Spangled Banner" in baseball in MLB.
This is a nice museum that is a short walk from Camden Yards! If you have an hour or two to kill before a game or while you are in Baltimore, it's a great place to go to see the history of the best player of all time!
