Trip Highlights:

 

National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

Step into the rich history of America’s favorite pastime at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in charming Cooperstown. More than just a destination for baseball fans, this world-renowned museum brings over 155 years of American history to life through fascinating memorabilia, legendary stories, and interactive exhibits. Marvel at the bowling ball used by Babe Ruth; bats, balls, and jerseys from homerun-hitting Hank Aaron's illustrious career; and special exhibits like "Diamond Dreams: Women in Baseball" tracing women's contribution to the sport from the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League to today's female executives. The Hall of Fame Gallery contains plaques honoring the game's all-time greats. The museum features displays on baseball's greatest moments, the World Series, All-Star Games, ballparks, and a complete history of the game.

 

 

Glimmerglass Queen Boat Cruise

Escape the ordinary and glide atop the shimmering waters of Otsego Lake aboard the Glimmerglass Queen. This one-hour voyage is filled with scenic beauty, local lore, and historic charm. With rolling hills as your backdrop and the gentle hum of the boat beneath you, you'll view hidden coves, elegant shoreline mansions, and the dramatic silhouette of Kingfisher Tower.

 

Fly Creek Cider Mill Tour & Tasting

Discover the charm of the historic Fly Creek Cider Mill, where fresh, sweet cider has been pressed on the banks of Fly Creek for more than 150 years. Explore the Mill Marketplace and enjoy daily tastings of over 40 specialty foods, including mill-made fudge, aged cheddar, salsas, apple wines, and hard ciders. Tour the working water-powered mill, relax on the scenic pond observation deck, and enjoy a wine and hard cider tasting featuring the Mill’s own creations—complete with a souvenir collector’s glass to take home.
