Babe Ruth Museum

Another place to check out before you attend an Orioles game is the Babe Ruth Museum.

Located in the same building as the Sports Legends Museum, The Babe Ruth Museum is home to some great information and artifacts from the Babe.

Here is a list of the exhibits you can check out once you enter the museum. Be sure to look at all the exhibits and take an extra hard look at the bats, gloves, clothes, and other items Ruth used to use. The museum even has a Hymnbook, and all his old equipment that he used to use when he was in high school in Baltimore.

The Babe Ruth Museum also includes directions of how to get to Babe Ruth’s actual birth house, located not too far from Camden Yards. You can walk inside the house, see the Babe’s birth certificate and even take a peek into the bedroom where he was born. Talk about a historic house.

In February of 2013, the museum added a new high tech film projection system. Click here to read an article from The Examiner about this new video system and what it adds to the Babe Ruth Museum experience. This projection system will show different movies about the Babe, as well as the Star Spangled Banner. It is definitely a must see attraction at the museum.

Even though he’s been dead for almost 65 years, Ruth is still a huge attraction, you can read about it here

This is a great place to visit if you have time to kill. If you are in the Sports Legends Museum, there’s a good chance you are already planning on visiting this great place.

Located just feet from Camden Yards, there is no reason not to visit if you have some time before the game starts. Just like with the Sports Legends museum, you can get a discount to visit the museum if you bring in a ticket from a recent game. The museum is already cheap, but why not make it a little cheaper?

The museum is a great place to bring kids, or a date if you’re looking for something to do in the city.

So stop in to the Babe Ruth Museum, check out some of the exhibits, and maybe take a stroll to his birth house.
