ATTRACTIONS
The National Baseball Hall of Fame is the main
attraction in Cooperstown, and its exhibits have broad appeal to
even the most casual fan of the game. Cooperstown offers much more
than baseball, however, and visitors will enjoy a wide range of
leisurely pursuits.
The natural beauty of the area cannot be denied, and
no trip to Cooperstown would be complete without a visit to Otsego
Lake and the surrounding forests and foothills. Outdoor pursuits
such as golfing, fishing, hiking, canoeing and horseback riding are
some of the best in the region. The Leatherstocking Golf Course is a
championship course of the highest caliber.
Glimmerglass State Park, just outside of Cooperstown,
overlooks Otsego Lake and offers opportunities for tubing,
cross-country skiing, fishing (and ice fishing, in season) and
hiking.
Shops and galleries dot the downtown area, offering
unique and interesting souvenirs of your visit. Several wineries and
brewers have set up shop in Cooperstown, and a tour (and tasting)
can make for a fun afternoon.
The Fenimore Art Museum, the Glimmerglass Opera and
the Leatherstocking Theatre Company are among the cultural
attractions in Cooperstown.
In addition to the National Baseball Hall of Fame,
sports fans will enjoy the National Soccer Hall of Fame, Heroes of
Baseball Wax Museum and the games taking place at Cooperstown Dreams
Park.
Boat tours, aerial tours and batting cages are among
the activities to enjoy. Cooperstown Fun Park offers bumper boats,
mini golf and arcade games for kids of all ages.
About halfway between Cooperstown and Albany is one
of America’s natural treasures, Howe Caverns. These limestone caves
run more than 150 feet below ground, and the guided tour is both
educational and awe-inspiring.
