## Visit Negro Leagues Baseball Museum

Activities

#### Find out about the intriguing history of segregated leagues and stand beside statues of your heroes on the baseball field in this fascinating sports hub.

The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum provides a comprehensive history of African American players and owners in one of America’s favorite sports. Through photo displays, informative plaques and films, it traces the history of the Negro leagues, which were made up predominantly of black and Latin American baseball players. Go on a self-guided tour that lasts about 1 hour to develop an appreciation of some of the world’s best hitters of all time.

View the timeline of African American history to see how it impacted baseball. The first professional Negro team was the Cuban Giants, initiated in 1885\. Learn how the last league of its kind closed in 1962, when segregation of minorities was eliminated. Check out the various charts showing the positions of the teams in the Negro leagues from the 1920s.

Get a feel for the game by inspecting the old uniforms, gloves and other relics from decades ago. At the end of the tour is a highlight experience. Walk out onto a field with large bronze sculptures depicting 12 of the most famous players in the history of the Negro leagues. Don’t be surprised to feel as though you’re about to play ball with these stars of the game.

Note that the museum itself was set up in 1990 by a group of former players from the Negro leagues. Browse the shop for all types of baseball memorabilia.

Visit the museum Tuesday through Saturday from morning until early evening. It also opens on Sundays from noon. Purchase a ticket to enter and ask for discounts for seniors and kids.

The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is in the center of the 18th & Vine District. Ride a bus to a station just outside the attraction or arrive at the Kansas City railway station and walk east for 30 minutes to get here.

While in this district, check out other nearby landmarks such as the Kansas City Workhouse, the Belger Crane Yard Studios and Grove Park.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,005 reviews)

We enjoyed the liveliness of the casino. The casino felt clean and comfortable. The breakfast shop was great with incredible donuts and thoughtful staff. The hotel side left much to be desired. The staff was fair, out of a five day stay we asked for our room to be cleaned twice. The first time was great, the second time a stack of towels and a trash bag was left on our sink. The rooms were very dusty along the walls and next to furniture and in pictures. Like visible dust that had been collected for quite a while. The bathroom was decently clean. The carpet was gross and just felt unclean even with us wearing shoes. I would never in a million years classify it as a “resort”. The daily resort fee is not worth it. The breakfast is not free. There are small bottles of water that is provided. We would not stay here again due to the lack of attention from staff and the dusty rooms.

Not courteous. Dismissive. Inebriated people yelling in the parking lot. Not the level of stay expected so far. Room needs maintenance to remove the heavy lime scaling from the fixtures.
