The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum hosts nearly 300,000 people a year and it’s open 362 days a year with extended hours for Memorial Day Weekend through the day before Labor Day. The only days the museum is closed are Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. The summer hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and the regular hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The home of America’s favorite pastime honors the history of the sport with tons of interactive exhibits ranging from women in baseball to ballpark anthems and the history of baseball cards. The museum honors the players, managers, executives, and umpires who’ve achieved excellence in the sport.

The most prized part of the museum is the Plaque Gallery which has all of the Hall of Fame members’ bronze plaques that honors the inductee’s achievements.

While at the museum, you can choose between a couple of different experiences including the Ultimate Fan Experience, the VIP Experience, and the Custom Tour Experience. The Ultimate Fan Experience includes the Hall of Fame Starting Nine, a scavenger hunt built for the ultimate baseball fan where you find your team’s Starting Nine lineup of must-see artifacts. The VIP experience is available on select dates throughout the spring and fall and it’s a two-day program that gives visitors behind-the-scenes opportunities. The Custom Tour Experience allows fans to get personalized visits focused on their favorite team.

Tickets for adults are $25, for seniors $20, for children $15, for veterans $18, and active/career retired military and children are free. The museum is located at 25 Main Street, Cooperstown, NY 13326.

Foodies who like baseball will find no shortage of parks to visit to try some of baseball’s most iconic snacks. Here are some of the highlights you can find around the league.

Dodger Dog: Dodger Stadium

Dodger Stadium is the home of the Dodger Dog, one of the most famous concession items in all of America. This 10-inch pork sausage served in a steamed bun is usually topped with ketchup, mustard, relish, and chopped onions and represents the most typical of baseball foods.

Toasted Grasshoppers: T-Mobile Park

Are you looking for something a little more out-of-the-box? The toasted grasshoppers served at the Seattle Mariners’ home stadium will run you only $5 and give you a crunchy, protein-filled snack that’s delicious if you aren’t too scared to try it. Seasoned with chili and lime, you’ll be surprised at how good this adaptation of a Mexican street food is.

Crabfries: Citizens Bank Park

French fry lovers who want to try some of America’s best should make time to go to a Phillies game if they’re ever in Philadelphia. Here, Chickie and Pete’s serves up “Crabfries,” a delicious bucket of seasoned fries that are served with white cheddar dipping sauce in an irresistible combination.

If you are lucky enough to go to this unbelievable stadium, you must do these things before leaving.

Take the Subway to and from the Game

Any true New Yorker who goes to see the Yankees takes the subway to and from the game, as it’s a great way to spend some extra time with fellow diehards before arriving at the stadium. Yankees passion runs deep on the subway trains to and from the stadium, and this is an experience you won’t want to miss.

Visit Monument Park

One of the highlights of the stadium is a collection of plaques and retired numbers just beyond the center-field fence. This “open air museum” is an unrivaled collection of artifacts related to the history of Major League Baseball’s most storied franchise.

Participate in the “Roll Call”

Yankee Stadium’s most raucous fans are located in the right-field bleachers of the stadium. These fans, known as the “Bleacher Creatures,” have a tradition of going through all of the players on the Yankees’ lineup for every given day, yelling their names, and receiving acknowledgment like a hat tip from each player. It’s a magical tradition that every baseball fan should live at least once.

Baseball

Four baseball teams which represent four of the five boroughs call New York their home. The two major league teams, the New York Yankees play at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and the New York Mets play at Citi Field in Flushing, Queens. The minor league teams, the Brooklyn Cyclones play at Key Span Park and the Staten Island Yankees play at Richmond County Bank Ballpark.

Football

New York City doesn’t have its own football stadium, but there are two New York NFL teams—the New York Jets and the New York Giants. Both teams play in New Jersey at MetLife Stadium, which is just a few miles from midtown Manhattan and can be visited via public transportation.

Hockey

Head to Madison Square Garden in Manhattan to see the New York Rangers face their opponents. The New York Islanders play at Nassau Coliseum, but it’s difficult to get there by public transportation.

Basketball

New York is also home to three professional basketball teams—the New York Knicks, the Brooklyn Nets, and the WNBA team, the New York Liberty. You can also catch the Harlem Globetrotters if they’re in town. The New York Knicks and Harlem Globetrotters play at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, the Brooklyn Nets play at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and the New York Liberty play at Westchester County Center in White Plains.
