You may be a big baseball fan and are planning your next vacation around the sport. You might be taking a road trip to see your favorite team play away games and/or you might be planning to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. While there are plenty of places to stay in Cooperstown, it's a good idea to book a hotel or lodging close by due to the perks you may receive at many Baseball Hall of Fame hotels.

Here are some of the top reasons why you should stay near the Baseball Hall of Fame for your next trip.

Close By To Enjoy All Events

Visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame for a sports fan can be a great vacation. For a baseball fan wandering the halls and checking out the exhibits is like looking at the history of their favorite sport. When you stay at one of the Baseball Hall of Fame hotels — such as The White House Inn — it keeps you close enough to the museum to not only visit the exhibits but to take part in the various events the hall and town have to offer year-round.

It's possible to see the induction ceremony of new players into the Hall of Fame, take a hike along the nearby trails, enjoy the town's festivals and special events and just enjoy the town's ambiance. Many of the hotels are centrally located meaning they are within walking distance of many attractions so you don't have to worry about driving in an unfamiliar city. 

Discounts On Hall Of Fame Visits And Attractions

Many of the Baseball Hall of Fame hotels offer discounted admission tickets or vouchers for the venue meaning you can take your entire family to see their favorite team's exhibits without paying the full price of admission. Some families find it difficult to visit the museum because it's not cost-effective for them to visit and to stay in a hotel as well. 

This worry can be lifted by booking one of the hotels near the Baseball Hall of Fame because many also offer package deals to visitors. This can include not only tickets to the Baseball Hall of Fame itself but nearby restaurants, other attractions, tickets to festivals, and more. Do your research into what hotels offer discounts and package deals that interest you the most.

In some cases, hotels near the hall of fame will offer custom packages for you to enjoy. This could include a private tour of the museum focusing on your favorite team's exhibits or even showcase items that are not on public display.
