One of the best hotels in Fortaleza. The have a marina for boats, a large back yard with several swimming pools, etc. the lobby is spacious and comfortable. Cleans and quiet rooms. Indulge yourself at their breakfast and an international restaurant.
Marina Praia hotel is a very basic but acceptable option for a short stay in Fortaleza. What is provided is very minimal. The rooms are very basic but fine. Don't expect any extras in terms of toiletries, etc. You will even need to ask the...More
The Marina Praia is a fine establishment. Correction, it is more than fine. It is magnificent. If you're looking for a cozy, comfortable, friendly place from which you can enjoy the beauty and excitement of Fortaleza, look no further than the Marina Praia. The staff...More

We stopped on our way to Cincinnati, and really enjoyed this. As a huge baseball fan I really appreciated what they had to offer. I mean, I got to stand and hold a bat used by Mickey Mantle, got my photo with it too! Does it get any better? They have many exhibits illustrating the history of the Slugger, and we really enjoyed the tour where they showed you how they make the bats. As we walked through our tour, they were currently preparing bats for Derek Jeter! We also got the mini replica bats on our way out. A nice historical and educational visit that was relatively inexpensive and didn't take all day long. We enjoyed it very much.More

For $15 per adult, we had a 30 minute tour and each received a commemorative mini bat. If you’re a baseball fan, it’s a neat experience. You can even get a personalized bat yourself.
We weren't sure what to do in the in the "Museum and Factory". The guy at the "greeting" desk just pointed us to a room for the ticket line. We got an appointed time for the factory tour. It was only later that we learned about a movie. There was no map of the building, what to see or do, or even what's in the museum. We just asked a lot of workers and discovered on our own. The Saturday factory tour was so crowded and rushed that we couldn't hear the narration or even see the overhead video. Bats were randomly passed around but most patrons didn't get a chance to see them or even understand why they were holding them. The movie was good but very dated and not all that clear. Many of the commentators were even dead. The museum on this day was holding an auction so we weren't sure whether we were viewing the museum pieces or items for sale. Another patron told me about holding a Mickey Mantle bat - I would have never known of the opportunity because the kid at this location just sat there utill i asked what he does. And what about those autographed oak plates at the entrance - who was going to tell us about them? Parking is limited to streets and there is no cafe. The gift shop was immense.
From the large bat outside to the making of bats, my experience was overwhelming. I found it to be amazing information. Things I was never aware of before. We didn’t have any kids with us on this visit, but it would be a really big experience for the younger kids. Downtown with plenty of parking and easy to find. We will take the younger kids next time.
Great location in downtown Louisville to visit baseball history and walk the floor of the factory, seeing bats being made that will be on MLB fields soon. Museum is a pretty quick and interactive tour with exhibits for all ages. You even have the opportunity to hold a game-used bat by a player from your favorite team, or an MLB legend like Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron. Highly recommend.
Took the factory tour. Website says they run everyday but it doesn’t mention they run on a skeleton crew. I only saw 3 people actually working. I think it would be better during the week. Also the guy managing the section where you can hold a famous players bat was very rude and I could tell he really didn’t want to be there.
Dear helenware - We appreciate you visiting the museum, as well as providing us with your feedback. We are disappointed to hear about your experience. During factory tours, visitors see every step of bat production. Peak production does occur during the weekdays, however a portion of our staff works in the factory on the weekends to not only continue production, but to also demonstrate the bat-making process for our guests.
We apologize for the interaction you had with one of our team members. We hate to hear that you had this kind of experience and will be following up with our staff to share your feedback as part of their development. We would be more than happy to provide you with some free passes to visit the factory and museum again during the week. You can contact me at Andrew.soliday@sluggermuseum.com. We hope to see you again!
Excellent and very informative, things you would have never thought made the bats special to each and every player. They are truly set up for the success of the player. Grandaughter 13 really enjoyed it, she's getting into more sports these days and it let her see how much goes into making the sport work for the players.
It is a nice museum, there is a lot to see, and experience. If you are a baseball fan, boy or girl, man or woman, you will appreciate the work that has gone into this museum, both for the exhibits and also the fun you can have as well, looking at how they make bats, how these bats differ in quality and the bats they have on display that were owned and commissioned by the most famous players. A great experience for all ages, and well priced too.
We were lucky to go on a day it only cost $5. I wouldn’t want to pay full price for my ticket. Tour was quick and boring. Very generic. HS kids that like baseball enjoyed, but others did not. Gift shop expensive. You do get free souvenir mini bat.
Dear Coacheli - Thank you so much for your feedback and visiting the museum. We regret to hear that your tour through our factory was not memorable. We will be sharing this feedback with our team.
At the moment, we are in the process of updating our museum. First will be our factory tour, followed by the main gallery. We would be more than happy to provide you with some free passes to visit the factory and museum once the renovations are complete. You can contact me at Andrew.soliday@sluggermuseum.com. We hope to see you again!
Loved this museum and factory tour. Highly recommend it, especially for baseball fans. I suggest ordering a ticket online and picking the time you want to tour. Great interactive exhibits and outstanding factory tour. Went on a Saturday and there were people working in the factory so we got to see the entire process. Don’t normally rate gift shops but this one is worth visiting. The giant bat outside the factory is quite a sight as well.
This was my second trip to the bat factory. Was there several years age with two of our older children and now with our youngest two. They really enjoyed the factory tour and the museum. Getting a chance to hold a bat that had been used by Babe Ruth will be something they will always remember.
Great food and service. Had chicken, fish, sausage and kraut, ham and salads on multiple visits. Waiter was prompt, friendly and helpful. Food and wine were excellent and all for a reasonable price!
This was our second or third visit to Kaysersberg, but the first this restaurant. We very much liked it. Its outside seating is delightful and the service was very good. My wife had an excellent Flammkuchen (carte flambé) -- given the fact that EVERY restaurant in Kaysersberg (and the rest of the Alsace) offers this dish, this is high praise. I had rognons (kidneys): I know, that's not everyone's dish (including not my wife's), but it is a great French specialty and for those, who like it, this restaurant does a very, very nice job. We highly recommend it.
The restaurant choice in Kayserberg is quite daunting. A number of the usual suspects specialising in Alsace cuisine and then some very upmarket options. This place was real find. It has tables outside but we ended up inside on a slightly cool evening. A small space but more net retaining as a result. It is run by the chef and one waiter. Both very friendly and service was not a problem. Our meal was well-paced and very good quality. Worth going and probably worth booking during high season.
Arrived at this auberge later in the evening for a drink only but after seeing the menu couldn’t resist the temptation to eat. Delicious food and lovely wine from the local region.
We had a great experience. The service and food were both very good. Great option quality price wise in Kaysersberg.
