Top 50 things to do and attractions in Cooperstown

What an awesome experience if you’re a baseball fanatic! So much history to see and more! I would expect to spend at least 1-2 hrs here. There is a 17 film they have at certain times you watch then walk around the exhibit. You can purchase different types of books from the library and then there is a huge area for the gift store with plenty of selection!

A great time if you are a fan of baseball and the history of how it came to be. They had a lot of exhibits dedicated to what you would expect. But also plenty dedicated to women in baseball, how other countries and cultures have contributed to the sport, and acknowledge the good and the bad that baseball has faced. Very interactive museum. All of the floors have bathrooms. There are stairs and escalators. Watch the movie they play. There are tours of the plaque room or you can wander on your own. Staff announce when these will happen. The staff are very helpful and if you have questions ask them. Plan to spend at least two hours or more here. They do not have their own lot for parking, but you can park at the Doubleday Field lot and walk down.

Definitely a bucket list visit! I was attending a conference in Syracuse and made the incredibly beautiful drive to Cooperstown and 99% of it didn't disappoint! I love seeing all the plaques, the displayed memorabilia was amazing and there was even game use memorabilia from this year! My only disappointment was how small and minimalistic the baseball broadcasters hall of fame display is. Honestly it's an embarrassment!

The museum looks huge from the outside, but was very small on the inside. Easy to navigate through and has everything that you’d expect as expected. My only suggestion is that they’d offer an individual or group tour to talk a little bit more about the museum and I’d pay extra for it. Went through the museum relatively quickly; their souvenir shop was pretty nice and surprisingly well priced! I wish they had an indoor restaurant or place to get drinks and a hotdog for nostalgia.

Absolutely a bucket list item crossed off. This was an amazing trip to see something I've been thinking about since I was a kid and it really was a great experience. I went with my brothers and it brought back a lot of childhood memories. If you're a baseball fan this is an absolute must to see. Can only post 50 pictures but there is so much more to see.

We stopped at the National Baseball Hall of Fame on our way to Bar Harbor, Maine. We camped at Glimmerglass State Park, which is highly recommend! The museum was pretty decent. My preference would have been for the design to have been the history of baseball in a more chronological order before splitting up varying exhibits. It just didnt flow. The exhibits themselves were great. My biggest criticism might be that you have to go back all the way to the beginning to go to the gift shop. Again, a flow problem. Fortunately, most of the actual town is a gift/souveneir shop.

After going on a road trip to all of the major sport HoF’s the baseball HoF is easily the best. There is so much history and it’s thoughtfully laid out in chronological order. There were also additional exhibits setup such as one to recognize the connection between the MLB and Japan, a bobblehead collection, and a few rooms dedicated to baseball cards.

I visit the Fenimore Art Museum every so often, both for its permanent exhibits (my favorite is the Thaw Native American collection) and temporary exhibits. My last visit was to specifically see its Women Impressionists exhibit and exhibit of powerful, mostly black-and-white, photographs. Both were brilliant and informative. The museum is in a beautiful location in Cooperstown, New York, and one can walk down the sweeping back lawn to Otsego Lake.

What a stunning place! My partner and I had the most beautiful late summer day exploring the collection and the property - we even met a lovely woman who told us all about the history of the land down at the Mohawk bark house. Pro tip - walk down to the lake, look left and check out the replica bark house hiding along the waters edge.

Absolutely beautiful museum! I just had my wedding here and it was perfect. Everyone was wonderful to wok with. While I didn't look around the museum a ton, I look forward to coming back for a visit!!

We recently returned after a long absence when we were in the vicinity. The Fenimore Art Museum was once well known for its displays of American folk art, and still shows several rooms with folk art paintings and objects. More recently, their collection has evidently moved in other directions, purchasing traditional "American" academic art, apparently funded by the Thaws, whose art philanthropy has been in evidence at the Met and Morgan in NYC for some time. Unlike many of the works in NYC institutions that were once part of the Thaws' own carefully assembled collections, the American works in Cooperstown were apparently only bought with their money and are of inconsistent quality. That growth, combined with unrelated special exhibitions on multiple levels, makes a visit a haphazard time. A couple of summer 2025 exhibitions featured an extensive displays of American photography, while another showcased paintings and works on paper by impressionists Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot. If we hadn't read about it on their website in advance, we would have likely missed that awkwardly wedged into a dark lower-level room of American Indian art was a model of the truss work at Notre-Dame Paris which was recently restored after a terrible fire, and that although not visible from the museum itself, out on the beautiful rear lakeside lawn was actually a towering replica of a truss. While it is always nice to encounter unexpected art treasures, the overall Fenimore experience was not consistent, and despite picking-up and consulting their map, we may have missed other installations we would have enjoyed. We were fortunate to find one of the few remaining parking spots in front of the Museum. We didn't spend time in the gift shop, but they have a simple cafe run by a bakery a few towns over from which we enjoyed a sandwich and slice of cake. The Fenimore is across the street from a farm museum and adjacent to a golf course, which combine to make for a busy approach and exit.

This is a wonderful small museum. Outstanding American folk art and photography collections. Also, museum has added to American painting collection.

This is a small but mighty museum with art and history from ancient to modern Native American and folk artists and impressionists from the 17th to 20th centuries. Beautiful grounds on the lake

Pwe went for the Calvin and Hobbes exhibit and lecture. So many laughs! Seeing some of my favorite comic strip as part of the exhibit was great!

First came here on annual family vacations over 50 years ago, and while the town has changed a bit, Doubleday hasn’t. A must for every baseball fan and sitting and catching an amateur game should be on a fan’s bucket list. It’ll take you back… Good parking nearby and public restrooms are on site. 5 out of 5

Double day field is a great place to feel the history of baseball. We were lucky to see a game playing and it was fun. Especially watching it with the family. Parking fills up quick so you may have to search for a spot off of the property.

Arguably where it all began, old school baseball at its best. Tours are available, parking and bathrooms available. Lot of history to enjoy!

Pure enjoyment. What a treasure and happy we got to see the fieldm

A beautiful baseball diamond near the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Seems to always be open. Covered stands throughout. It is exactly where it belongs. ♿️

What an experience for parents and for the kids really nice place relaxing town

Came here after going to the hall of fame. This is a beautiful ballpark and you can feel the nostalgia. A college ball game was being played, we would have stayed for the entire game but we had to get back home.

Wow. I came to Cooperstown expecting a celebration of baseball history — silly me. What I got instead at this wax museum was a love letter to the New York Yankees written in melted candle wax and broken dreams. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to walk through someone's obsessive shrine to pinstripes, but with mannequins that look like they were sculpted during a blackout, this is the place for you. Want to see a wax Joe DiMaggio locked in an eternal awkward smirk, desperately trying to forget his marriage to Marilyn Monroe? They've got that. Mickey Mantle makes an appearance too — I think. It could also be a melted Elvis in pinstripes. Hard to say. Non-Yankee fans, be warned: this museum makes you feel like you accidentally wandered into a cult meeting — and everyone's wearing navy blue. The few players but wearing pinstripes (if you can find them hiding in the back) feel like they were added under protest, possibly during a hostage negotiation. Save your money. Better yet, light it on fire — the experience will be just as warm and slightly more realistic.

It was a little disappointing. It was mainly Yankees wax statues and they weren't as good as as expecting. It is definitely a tourist trap that should be avoided

Fun stop! $15 per adult, 2 floors.

All of Cooperstown is baseball themed. This place is straight out of a poorly written movie. As for the wax museum. It's neat but not $15 a person neat. Someone clearly put in effort to make the figures. But when I entered the building no one greeted us and it was very confusing. It's also really chilly inside. Wear a jacket.

Overall neat thing to check out…. However they say the open at 10 yet really didn’t open until about 1020. I really did like the museum though. Some wax statues did not look like the person they are supposed to, BABE RUTH was the least accurate. But it’s a nice relaxing museum. Lou Gehrig’s was the best for sure.

Old and dated. Not realistic and not maintained. I cannot recommend this to anyone . Sorry

A very worthwhile thing to see. Wax figures brought the players back to life. Also has a DVD playing baseball bloopers. Everything was enjoyable.

5/5 Stars – A Cozy, Honest Breakfast Spot in the Heart of Cooperstown We had a wonderful breakfast at Doubleday Café and walked away genuinely impressed with the entire experience. It’s a charming, welcoming spot right in the heart of town—clean, friendly, and refreshingly down-to-earth. It feels like one of those places that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t try too hard, which is part of the appeal. The service was warm and efficient without being overbearing. We were seated quickly, coffee came fast, and our meals were out in a reasonable time—even with a healthy morning crowd. I ordered an omelette, and it was just right: perfectly cooked, with fresh ingredients and a good balance of flavor. It’s easy for a simple breakfast dish to be forgettable, but this one hit all the right notes. One thing we really appreciated was the pricing. With so many tourist-heavy spots around, it’s easy to expect a bit of sticker shock—but not here. Everything felt fairly priced, especially considering the quality and the location. Overall, the vibe of the place is what will bring us back. It’s laid-back but thoughtful, and it has the kind of energy that makes you want to linger just a little longer over your coffee. Whether you’re heading to the Hall of Fame or just looking for a solid breakfast in Cooperstown, Doubleday Café is a great choice. Highly recommend stopping in—you won’t be disappointed.

Although we had lived about 20 miles from cooperstown for 9 years, we did not visit that often, and especially avoided it during high baseball season. The season hysteria was over so we went out, primarily so my wife could swim in Lake Otsego. We decided to go into town for a late breakfast. We were told the Doubleday Cafe had breakfast all day. WRONG. But we stayed for lunch. We both had a turkey BLT. (Photo of mine after I took a few bites). I liked it. My wife did not care for hers. We took the leftovers home and I finished them. Service was great. I would go back but can only speak for myself.

I ordered the grilled prime rib melt w sharp cheddar cheese & crispy fried onions on a toasted hard roll; sides of roasted garlic aioli w fries and the picture is the result of me writing this. It was brutal and absurdly delicious, definitely more than I was expecting. I would eat that sandwich 100 days in a row, the quality of the rib is very superlative. I loved the vibe place too! They are doing their job well, Im glad for that 🫶🏼

Excellent! Wonderful! Authentic pancakes. I asked that they use real butter when they pan fry them so its healthier, and they gladly obliged! Quality place and ingredients and great service. 👍

The place had a cool vibe and was packed for lunch even though the rest of Main Street was empty. The Reuben was really interesting, with finely shredded corn beef.

We had dinner at Doubleday Cafe October 18, 2025. It is easy to find on the historic, picturesque Main Street. It was the best Reuben sandwich we have ever eaten. Rebecca, our server, was very friendly and energetic. She explained the corned beef and whole turkeys are cooked right there in the cafe's kitchen. We wished we could have eaten there the next day to try the turkey. We had tried to get seated at several other restaurants outside of town and were glad they were full once we discovered Doubleday Cafe. Try it. You will not be disappointed!

Good casual local restaurant plus a full bar. All of the employees are efficient and pleasant. All of the food we ordered was good. We were skeptical but it's true. There was a wait of a few minutes so we took a seat at the bar and ate lunch there.

Excellent food at reasonable prices with acceptable service. Serves breakfast all day. I had two eggs over easy with toast. The eggs done correctly with runny yoke and cooked egg white. There was one server covering this small diner. He was fast and able to provide acceptable service.

I had the biscuits and gravy, I am extremely picky when it comes to biscuits and gravy. And it was the best I've had in a super long time. The cooked a great job. And the server was very attentive even though she was so busy. Highly recommend it.

Although we lived fairly close for 10 years, we have never gone in the diner and only visited the baseball hall once . We avoided cooperstown in the summer . With the hysteria over we decided to visit. My wife likes to swim in Lake Otsego and we stay at the Lake View when we come out this way . We did a take out at the diner. I took out a burger and fries and my wife did a fish fry. As I Sit here and look at the lake and write, we have not eaten. The burger looks good for later. We did not have to wait long to order as it was close to the closing time. I do not think that is the way it is earlier. The Diner is an icon of Cooperstown. We may stop in for a breakfast tomorrow on our way home .

The small size and novelty were fun, but the food my wife and I got was unremarkable and makes this place a one-and-done for us.

It is small but the service is quick. If you order the burger it takes a few extra minutes. It is the thickest burger I have ever seen. I could barely fit it in my mouth. You will make new friends at the counter. Which is a table shaped and positioned like a diner counter.

Such a cute diner. Our waitress was very busy, as the diner was full. I think she said her name was Charolette or Sharnett- either she was very kind. She made sure we always had coffee, and recommended we have the Georgia Eggs. So glad we did they were out of this world. My nephew loved the kids breakfast. We can’t wait to go back. I can’t believe we waited this long to stop- as we come to Cooperstown couple times a year. I think our server said the diner has been open for over 100 years.

Don't be fooled by the charm of a cute little place from the outside. Menu is very limited and pedestrian, so you'd think what little they do would be done right. Pancakes were rubbery served with cold syrup and cold, hard butter. The omelette was extremely overcooked, which was evident by the brown outside of it. The only thing good was the toast, which they actually put enough butter on. Sadly the food wasn't the worst part. Our waitress, a heavy set gal, could be seen in the kitchen eating. Once she served our food, we never heard from her. The place is tiny, so she was literally standing right next to us, and there weren't many people in there. I never got a refill of coffee, nor were we ever asked if everything was OK. And when I finally said "excuse me", she gave me a look like I was bothering her. I asked for a box and my refill of coffee, which I never got, to go. She slammed an empty paper cup in front of me, and said nothing. Came back in a few minutes and filled it. Never said thank you, you're welcome, have a nice day, or anything. I actually don't think she said a single word the whole time. Extremely rude. Worst service during our 6 days in Cooperstown.

Cozy and welcoming space not too far from Main Street, Cooperstown. They offer complimentary tastings of their extensive line of spirits, and everything is really great. The staff is incredibly friendly. Definitely worth the visit if you're in town.

Had so much fun at Cooperstown Distillery last weekend. Cooperstown was hosting an ice festival and the entire town was alive with people, things to do, cute shops and restaurants. We stopped into the Distillery with friends after hitting up a local estate sale. They offered fun winter beverage options and samples of their whiskey. We settled on old fashions made with the 6 year bourbon. The bourbon is still a bit young, but the old fashions were delish. Delightful bartender. Great, old vibe and lots of FUN! Check it out!

Rachel was great. Otherwise very disappointing. Six of us came for the tour for a birthday excursion. We checked the website for availability before we left and it was available. We arrived; the board outside said tour Saturday at 3. We got inside and no tours today. Very disappointed after a two hour drive each way. The website should have been updated.

Me and my family had an amazing experience at this Distillery, quality spirits, and an amazing staff. They gave me a tour of the still and the production process. I'm giving this location a one star review because of the owner. Gene. Multiple good staff have left over the years, and he has milked the process and the experience. Me and my family were rudely dismissed from this location in the middle of the tour because Gene thought that we were taking up too much time. This guy is a joke, unfortunately he is ruining what is the Cooperstown experience. If Gene is not working that day, I recommend going to this location and having a amazing tine with dedicated staff and quality spirits.

Great experience! The ladies explained the differences between some of the drink choices and helped us choose something we would like. Everything tasted so good! Will definitely visit again next time we are in Cooperstown! Thanks for a fun visit!

Delicious cocktails! And a very nice clean seating area. if you head to Coopers Town for the day this is the perfect place to sit back and relax in between museums and shops.

Nicely laid out and attractive place. Excellent spirits across the board from white spirits Vodka, Fenimore Gin, ( New World Style Gin) to their various whiskies. A field to glass distillery, they use a small ( 150 gallon ? ) Carl Copper pot still with a column and local grains to produce their spirits.

The wait staff was excellent, and the food was just as good. Even better was the view of the lake! I highly recommend the outdoor seating if the weather permits. If I’m ever in Cooperstown, I would definitely return for a meal.

Found this place when looking for vegan options. One of the chefs is vegan so he made some great options. We came for dinner and they had a spot open. Waiters were excellent! Food was great. Dumplings tasted delicious and a lil spicy. The braised tofu was good, but had some uncooked rice. Went back for the vegan smash burger and that was delicious. Definitely visit this place and sit outside!

This restaurant is fantastic. Everything we ate there was excellent. I highly recommend the halibut, I had to eat that twice while we were staying there. They also have excellent homemade ice cream! All the servers are very friendly and professional. The atmosphere is amazing, cozy wood pub inside, gorgeous patio over the lake outside. This entire hotel is incredible, I hope to go back one day.

The patio view was breathtaking. The French onion soup and grilled cheese was delicious and very filling. The burger was huge and tasty. The banana drink special was well flavored and not too strong, but just right. The Cosmo was perfection.

Excellent food and service. Fabulous views across the lake at sunset

This past visit was good but not great. The service was lacking compared to the high touch I have received in the past and it didn't seem to be a particularly busy night. Now that I think about it, the last two visits have had lower quality service fell two different servers. We called in and made a reservation and we're seated promptly. We had a group of five and we seated at a table for eight. It was too large and a little awkward of a set up as we couldn't hear our waiter and he didn't make an effort to go around the table to hear our orders, offer suggestions, or answer questions other than our favorite answer of the night which was that the prime rib tasted meaty. The meatloaf, french onion soup, bread and butter, and burgers came out delicious. The regular fries were hot and crispy. The sweet potato fries were floppy, soggy, and cold. I'm glad we got to compare both types although disappointed with one. I have always enjoyed eating here but based on this most recent experience, it was too loud for our group to be so spread out, the service was lacking, and not all the food was hot and fresh so I had to take a star away. It was an off night and I'll update after my next visit if we are asked if we'd like anything to drink, drinks are refilled, and dessert is offered.

Came here a little after 3pm on 11/2/25 and was exited for a nice dinner with a view, esp after traveling here for the first time. Upon entering I was pretty excited as the entrance was so cute with the pink, then we found the bar. After entering an older lady walked up to us and didn’t say anything to us. We had to say we would like a table for 2, she said the high tops and bar is only available. Even though people were clearly sitting throughout the dining restaurant portion… I asked again if we could sit by a window and she sternly repeated herself on the high tops or bar. I asked why and she mentioned dinner wouldn’t be open until 5. Flustered and hungry we sat at a high tops to give it a chance. I noticed the older lady just glaring from the wall behind the tv, the menu was quite unappealing with no cocktail menu provided, still thought this was worth it to at least get a drink here. Definitely was my sign to walk out. We watched our waitress ignore us for about 10 min and decided to just get leave since there’s no point of having wasted 10 min to ask for a drink menu to wait again to order. My 2 takeaways from this restaurant are: 1) maybe close from 3-5 if you aren’t going to serve dinner or have dinner available at 4pm 2) get some serious hospitality training for your staff. Just off the introduction I had to bite my tongue to not say “I would’ve cancelled because of this interaction” to the hostess asking if we were staying at the hotel.

Great , Great Course . I can't believe some people complain about not having GPS in golf carts . The sport is probably the oldest in the World and until 15-20 years ago there was no such thing . You just can't blame your score of 120 for the lack of GPS . UHG !!!

Beautiful course. One of the most scenic I have ever played. You can see Otsego Lake from most holes. The course is pricey but I thought it was worth it. Course conditions were good. Greens were firm and have some slope in them. It’s an older course. It’s not very long and the holes are packed in together. Most of the greens are small and are well guarded with bunkers. One negative was the lack of a beverage cart and we were playing on a Saturday. The course never returns to the clubhouse after the 4th hole.

One of the most beautiful courses in Upstate NY! The staff was wonderful and helpful and the greens were in excellent condition! The views of Otsego (Glimmerglass) lake are also breathtaking!

One of the great courses in the North-East. Classic design, beautiful views and don't be fooled by the course yardage, this is a difficult golf course.

Best course in Otsego County. Well worth every penny. Challenging and beautiful, a golfer's dream. 2024 update: some changes made to the course... Definitely increased the difficulty. Fast greens, PGA or USGA level course this year. Why they took the Pro/Am away, I'll never understand... But they did. Really wish the refreshment cart started at 8am instead of 10/10:30 am... Coffee and water are mandatory before hole 15. Overall my favorite course.

In from out of town playing this beautiful course for the first time. Manageable from the back (green) tees at 6,400 yards. As advertised, #17 and #18 are the gems, with #11, a long par 5 up on the ridge line overlooking the lake a close third. Conditions were excellent, as expected. Greens were very firm, so front half of the green was a good bet for most holes. Bought the $8 yardage book, which it was definitely worth it and a nice souvenir. Pace of play at 8a on a vacation Wednesday was good at 3.5 hours, but could’ve been quicker. Staff were super efficient, kind, and helpful. Be aware: driving range is 5 mins down the road in your car (as others have noted). You buy tokens at the clubhouse and then get back in your car to go over to the range. Practice green is also across a couple holes away from #1 tee. So overall, I’d say get there at least 15 extra minutes before your round if you wanna warm up and get a feel for the greens. Two main gripes: 1) there’s no colored flag or other system for pin locations, nor GPS in the cart. For me, just having a GPS watch and no rangefinder, and lots of elevated greens, it was hard to know how deep the pin was on more than half the holes. So basically, bring your rangefinder if you have one. 2) Price: for $135 (relative to the otherwise pretty reasonably priced courses around the area), I would have expected more amenities — no GPS in the carts as noted, never saw the beverage cart during our 8-11:30a round (and since you don’t pass the clubhouse at the turn, that’s even more of an issue), and no drinking water on the course anywhere. Overall, glad I played this beautiful place, but will probably look for a different higher end course next time I’m visiting family up here.

This course is gorgeous especially in the fall. Pro Shop is top notch ans everyone is very friendly.

Absolutely beautiful scenery, plenty of benches to relax and enjoy the view. Everyone we encountered were very friendly. It was clean n well kept.. definitely recommend this lil slice of hidden history.. the indigenous had a beautiful view as we do today..

Wonderful local park by the lakefront. Many boats, families and even a decent restaurant right next to the park. I could sit for an hour just relaxing in the fresh lakeside breeze, watching boats sailing by and families enjoying a great day outside. Recommend if you are looking to relax for a while and give God gratitude for all the good things He's done.

Natural beauty of Lake Otsego, One can I see from Cooperstown end. From Glimmerglass state park we have different view, The best part of Lake Front park in Cooperstown is you can get the rental boat for 2 hours with 12 seats can have good family time.

Beautiful waterfront park with picnic tables, well manicured lawn, band stand and public bathrooms

Beautiful and peaceful vibes!

Very nice park. Clean. Calm. Has trash cams and picnic tables. Lots of fish. Everything was great besides some dog walking all over the picnic table - how do you eat at that table after that?

This is a very nice place to sit down and have lunch while looking at a nice view.

This boat ride cost my family $90….2 adults and 4 children. All children are $13, no matter what age. The ride is about an hour long and does not go the entire length of the lake. A quick recording plays in the beginning, but it is otherwise just a 30 minute ride out and 30 minutes back. The boat is clean and the staff were very friendly, but the experience was not worth the cost in my opinion.

No great narration. Wish the captain had given the tour to all and not just one couple. Bathrooms should have been offered somewhere when tour was finished. This tour was cash only.

Really enjoyed this tour. The captain was very knowledgeable about the lake's history and local stories! Perfect hour on Ostego Lake! Definitely worth the small price!

Beautiful Day! Beautiful Cruise! This is the best way to enjoy the lake and listen to the background of the Tower on the shore. We will do it again next summer! Ticket came with hotel stay, but I'd buy one to go again.

Boat was super clean tour was about a hour , lake is 9 miles long and water is amazing and clean being spring fed and deep! Cool boat ride if in the area.

A nice hour and a half ride out and back around the lake, with great views of the surrounding area, and a brief narrative of some of the history and points of interest. The Glimmerglass Queen itself was pristine clean and looks almost brand new - very well maintained.

Enjoyed the tour on a lovely Sunday morning. It was about an hour ride around the lake on a nice boat. Bring cash.

State of the art facility. My one pet peeve is they close down the gym every now and again. Sunday is only open to noon. This past week closed for annual repairs. I’ve gone to workout on several occasions to find the gym closed.

My rating is for the Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Reserved seating with designated port-a-potties will require a ticket. Cold water is freely distributed here.. If you leave the area, you are instructed to take your ticket with you to re-enter the reserved seats. General admission areas are free with another set of port-a-potties. The grounds are expertly set up for this major event. Concessions are a fundraiser for the high school senior class trip.

Nice building and facilities with an impressive 8 lane pool and 2 smaller pools. My only complaint is the pool spectator section is small.

If you are from out of town or a Cooperstown resident Clark Sport Center is a great place for all ages. With an updated workout facility and pool, to a full sized gymnasium the kids and parents have a lot of options for fun. The outdoor tennis facility was recently resurfaced and offers lesson and camps for all ages! Indoor racquetball and squash could be replaced with indoor tennis/pickleball for an all season option! Enjoy your time all season long!

This is where the annual Baseball Hall of Famers' Ceremony is conducted. It's a large gathering of various hordes of team fans depending on who is being inducted and their popularity. Always fun to watch the parade the Saturday morning prior to the event. Most of the Inducted Hall of Famers participate if their able. My favorite is the speeches of acceptance, always heartfelt. It should be experienced by sports fans baseball or otherwise.

So many sports like events to do working out basketball swimming bowling rock climbing and more. Very nice family place

An amazing facility! Meeting rooms, gym, pools, rock-climbing wall, tennis courts, pickleball, physical therapy, and much more.

The quilt show was good. A beautiful variety of items on display. Visitors could vote for their favorite one of the show. A nice day for a visit.

This place is truly awesome, an art gallery of the very first order. Worth a visit, worth your support. But beyond that, treasures to be purchased at reasonable prices to decorate your home or office and enrich your life.

Particularly responsive community gallery, presently highlighting the best high school artists, many of whom are very accomplished. Good facilities, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Wonderful community gallery! Friendly, hardworking staff. Interesting exhibits.

Really enjoyed Betty K.'s artwork. Loved the ones with people, barns, and my favorite the egrets.

Very impressive building with alot of history. Loved the art show going on.

Changing exhibits make this a must for frequent visits. A gift shop has local artisan and craftsmen items for purchase.

Wonderful variety of goods! Just to name a few: cheese, meat, veggies, honey, maple syrup and jewelry! I spent most of my time at the silver spoon jewelry booth. Great place, good people.

Nice indoor farmers market! It is on the small side but good variety of very friendly vendors. We love the apples and coffee!

While we were in Cooperstown my boyfriend and I stopped by the Farmer's Market. It was amazing and very nicely put together. Enjoyed it very much.

Found this place walking around town on Saturday morning. Nice spot to visit, as a farmers market fan. Many yummy options and not pricey.

I LOVE the market!! I try to go every Saturday when I am in town! Bountiful fresh produce, tempting baked goods, delicious breakfast sandwiches, talented artisans, all wrapped up in a cozy, friendly atmosphere.

Great selection of fresh, ethically produced, local products. Lots to sample. Aside from eggs, jam, veggies, fruit, cheese, granola, pastries, and bread, there are also local artisans selling their crafts. Be sure to bring cash!

Great farmer's market, lots of fresh food, good prices and smiles.

Had a really excellent lunch in Cooperstown. I was impressed by the selection of sandwiches, wraps, and paninis. Got the best turkey and cheese panini that came with a side salad. The ingredients were so fresh. In the bake of the shop is a small patio where you can sit outside and enjoy the sunshine on a sunny day. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The baked goods looked amazing and I will be sure to be back next time I’m out visiting this summer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Friendly service and interior was clean and had character. Ordered the house panini which was lacking tomatoes. One thin slice(less than 3" diameter) on each half of a sandwich isn't cutting it when the first item in description is tomatoes. Frankly, two slices per half isn't adequate. The tomato isn't a garnish. The sandwich didn't have an abundance of mozzarella and pesto to make up for the lack of tomato. Not a whole lot of anything here.

Great stop for coffee and treats! The oatmeal was tasty with nice add-in options, and the iced mocha was solid. We also tried the tiramisu, which was a nice treat. Definitely worth popping in if you’re in the area.

We came during the off season, moreover later in the day (around 4pm), so we were the only customers. Service was prompt and curteous. The drink selection was broad with classic cafe staples, soft drinks, and a seasonal menu. They also offer breakfast sandwiches until 11, as well as lunch sandwiches and paninis, and there is a broad selection of baked goods. There is indoor and seasonal outdoor seating. The music was a little off and killed the vibe a little bit.

We went here every morning while staying in Cooperstown. The BEST variety for breakfast sandwiches. We tried the Lox, the pastrami, the veggie burrito, the bagel with sausage and the croissant with bacon! Can’t go wrong!!

Stopped at the stagecoach for breakfast. I got a breakfast wrap and Nolan a bacon egg and cheese sandwich. The French toast creme brulee bread pudding is fantastic!!

I always like stopping at this little hole in the wall coffee spot. They have really good coffee and great baked goods. This time was the first time trying the food. We tried an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese and tomato. Then we also tried their breakfast burrito. It was a little try and could have used a little something something. It was still a very good experience and will continue to keep coming here.

Beautiful small park with great views.

Beautiful Lake in the Winter...nice views! I hope to see this again in the summer!

A beautiful view of the lake with huge shade trees and benches to sit on.

Mostly a historic marker at the edge of the lake, but the view is beautiful. In addition to the Council Rock marker, at the same location is a marker for Clinton's Dam (see the "different" photo). These photos are from October 2021 (a great time of year there).

Beautifully Calm, yet exquisite and perfect place to bring the family for a picnic. Right on the edge of Otsego Lake. Good spot to deploy a canoe or kayak for fishing or just perusing the lake itself. The view is something out of a post card.

Council Rock Park is a small park in Cooperstown that sits at the southern end of beautiful Lake Otsego. The interesting thing about this park is that it sits at the very beginning of the Susquehanna River. I found it intriguing to see the start of this river as I’m very familiar with many other parts of the it, including the other end as it stretches its way almost 500 miles into Maryland. Quite a difference in water quality between the start and end. Everything about this lake is such a beautiful sight to see. I didn’t want to leave after my short two days in Cooperstown.

Beautiful and serene spot along the banks of Otsego Lake at the headwaters of the Susquehana River. Highly recommended for a moment of reflection.

2 broken bats in just about as many games. Replacement bat broke on first contact. Then after going back and forth sending countless pictures/videos I get an email today saying they aren’t going to do anything to help me out. They want me to spend my money to send it to them to view in person. Frustrating after waiting to receive the bat, for it to break on first contact. I understand bats can break if not used right. I’ve been playing my whole life, I know how to hit a ball. Something was off. The replacement didn’t even look the same as the original. Looked unfinished or as if it was a throw away bat that they sent me as a replacement. Save your money, and go with a company that offers a good warranty. Or composite. I was really excited about this company at first. Bums me out. What’s even crazier is a bought a $40 Louisville slugger bat off Amazon…I’ve used it every game since. And no issues. 😂

I coached a team at All Star Village and stopped by the Cooperstown Bat Company to purchase an engraved bat for my son. I had it shipped to our home in California and it’s missing his number. I placed it in the order form and took a picture. Called the office, no response.

This was a great stop. My son and I got a bag for little league. A wooden one you can use in a game was $50 which included engraving. A little bit more than what a bat costs at Dick's but the memories are priceless. They had at least three kids different colored bats for competition and a ton for adolescents. The staff was helpful and friendly. Stop by and check them out!

Really great place we had engrave all our family's names on a bat.It was ready in two hours.😄

DO NOT MISS THE TOUR OF THEIR FACTORY!! Very small, quaint place with very friendly staff that will show you every step of the process. Great quality bats for decoration or game use. Very reasonable prices and shipping costs.

My family and I just returned from a bucket list trip to Cooperstown we were extremely pleased with not only the company shop customer service but also the factory just outside of town. Super friendly staff that showed us how the bats were made from start to finish. What an experience! Love our personalized bats and gear we purchased - best deal in town! Thank you again Cooperstown Bat Company!!

Fantastic customer service. We (the customer) made a design mistake for this "deal toy" and Cooperstown Bat went above and beyond to produce and ship a replacement in time for a closing!

Was very excited to get one of those ice creams in a baseball helmet for my son. The hours on google say they are open till 9pm. 0805 pm on a Saturday night and the doors are locked and lights are out. Huge disappointment.

My family came back after the reopening and the space feels so much more open and airy. The food is still amazing—honestly might be even better. We were starving and only snagged photos of dessert, but for dinner I had the mushroom ravioli and it was super filling and delicious. I tried one of their cocktails (can’t remember the name). It skewed more tart than fruity for me, but my sister liked it. Desserts were absolutely to die for! I’m sad they dropped the crème brûlée (also to die for. I would only come to Bocca just to have it and nothing else), but the blueberry ravioli—sweet jam in a pancake-like fried dough with vanilla ice cream—was outstanding. The Cookie Vesuvius Cake had a molten center that flowed chocolate, and the tiramisu was excellent too (no pic, we inhaled it). Overall, the service was wonderful; our server had great recommendations. I’ll absolutely be back for dinner—and honestly, I’d come just for the desserts. I hope to stop by soon!

Cooperstown’s go-to Italian spot. With high-quality, scratch-made pasta and pizzas, stellar service, and family-friendly ambiance, it’s a favorite for both first-time visitors and return guests. Just be prepared for it to lean slightly upscale in price—but in taste, authenticity, and experience, the value shines through. Highly recommended for date nights, family dinners, or celebratory meals—especially if you’re craving true Italian flavors in upstate New York.

What an amazing restaurant. The atmosphere was very nice as well. We stopped by for some appetizers which were phenomenal. Can only imagine how the main dishes tasted. I would’ve loved to order about a dozen of those cannolis. The Carmel drizzle added a wonderful creaminess to the dessert. The ricotta on top of the meatballs being whipped like it was. Addictive!!!!

Okay so we are here in Cooperstown, NY for the Baseball Hall of Fame but we have to eat, no? So we try out Bocca Osteria and it was fabulousa!! If you are interested Cooperstown you MUST grab a pizza here. They are individually sized at 10". However , if you get a salad or an app it is plenty enough for 2. Had the mushroom pizza with half sausage and it was a homerun!!! Yes pun intended. It was a white pizza base with just the perfect amount of garlic and the sausage is zippy. They have a brick oven so the crust will make you cry.....in the best way. The restaurant itself is just lovely. I am going to give this a huge "must try!!"

Beautiful interior reminds me back home in Europe really clean prob the most clean restaurant I saw 19 yrs of living in NY state , quiet Italian music in background 👌🏻, great food especially the pizza, I would recommend #1 to anyone that visits Cooperstown to try it 🫶🏻

What a beautiful place to celebrate our anniversary! The food was fabulous! We had the calamari appetizer, just the right amount of spice tempered with citrus slices, orange, lemon and lime. I had the gnocchi fungi and Dave had a ribeye special, drenched in seasoned butter. Everything was excellent. Our server, Mae, was a delight. We finished the evening, and a bottle of wine, at the outdoor fireplace in front of the restaurant. This was truly a wonderful experience. If you're in Cooperstown and looking for fine dining in an upscale, casual atmosphere I couldn't imagine better.

Update Aug 2025. Family went for an early dinner. I had the Eggplant Parmesan which was very good but a bit salty. Wife had the salmon which she liked. Daughter had pizza with gluten free dough that she liked very much. Updated the rating to 4 stars. ---------------- The Frutti di Mare was far too spicy for delicately flavored seafood. They offer gluten free options for pasta and rolls. Considering the higher end prices, better recipes were expected.

The food here is off the chain! Best Italian food we had during our entire visit through New York. And they did not turn our party of 6 away even though we came in 30 minutes before closing. They were incredibly accommodating and quick to serve. Looks like a small hole in the wall from the outside but so much more on the inside. You won't want to skip this one!

We had delicious meals at very reasonable prices this past Saturday night. Everyone loved their meals including Shrimp Scampi, lasagna and ravioli, even the bread stood out. Everything was served hot and cooked to order, the service was excellent. This was our 3rd time there and we plan to go back. I would highly recommend going to this restaurant if you are in town.

Ran through the rain tonight to enjoy a dinner here! We didn’t have a reservation but were seated promptly. Isaiah was our server and did a fabulous job. I had the shrimp scampi and my husband had the pork tenderloin. Both dishes were perfect and we look forward to coming back again one day!!!

Best restaurant in Cooperstown. Always available with superb waitstaff nice ambiance and the most delicious food all homemade even the tiramisu! Try it next time you are here and by the way the price is right too

One of the joys of being on vacation is finding a really great restaurant. That's exactly what we found when we discovered Nicoletta's while walking on Main street in Cooperstown. The restaurant is nicely and simply decorated. Our waitress Renee could not have been nicer. And last but not least the food was great and the prices very reasonable. I invite everyone if you are in the Cooperstown, New York area to patronize this restaurant and places like it so we ensure they stay in business!!

We have loved this restaurant for years. When we were coming to Cooperstown we called to make a reservation. Phone message said they are open 7 days a week and left a message. When we got to restaurant it was closed. We heard from locals that it has been open and closed very erratically recently. Very disappointing.

This is AMAZING Italian food. This food fueled me through my first marathon. So much protein in the pastas!! We got the specials. Everything was spectacular.

We went to the Farm and Country Village Museum on a school trip, and it was a wonderful experience. The visit was both fun and educational. The staff were dressed in 1940s-style clothing and actually performed the kinds of jobs that would have been done back then, which really brought history to life. Our guide was very informative and engaging—explaining everything clearly and answering all our questions. We learned a lot about how people lived and worked in the 1940s. It was like stepping back in time! I would definitely recommend this place for anyone interested in history or looking for a meaningful and interactive learning experience.

Absolutely beautiful place! I just had my wedding here and it was perfect. Everyone was wonderful to work with. I came to here many times as a kid and while I didn't look around a ton this time, I look forward to coming back for a visit!

A nice look at past life in central New York. If you enjoy history and have time it’s worth a visit. The newer carousel has a wonderful story to share.

Great museum complex!! Very friendly and knowledgeable staf!!

Beautiful place, we went to see the Calvin and Hobbes art show, if your life hasent been enhanced by Calvin and Hobbes, your just missing out.

Actually such a cool experience. I was kinda like meh on the idea before coming BUT I left totally won over by the expertise of the artisans and how Committed they were to staying authentic! Definitely felt like going back in time. The broom maker and the tavern guide in particular were standouts for us. Definitely recommend going!

Wish more of the animals were out & the demonstrations were lacking, but we still had fun. I remember when I was in elementary school there were more oddities other than the Cardiff Giant.

Fantastic gem in Downtown Cooperstown! Amazing Italian food with specials offered. I would highly recomend getting a reservation here. The restaraunt was gorgeous and i loved the wood and brick walls throughout. Our pasta dishes were cooked to perfection and I highly recomend the spicy sauce, if it is an option for you pasta dish. Fantastic all around.

I always enjoy coming here. The dark quiet atmosphere is very soothing. The food is always top notch and the portions are extremely big. You are not going to leave this place hungry. Unfortunately, my last visit was not exactly up to par. Our server’s name was I believe Hayden. not exactly if that was his name because he never introduced himself. I’m going by the name that was printed on the receipt. Once seated at the table, he arrived very quickly and took our orders promptly. The food was delivered in a timely manner. But after we received our food that is when the service went downhill. He never returned to inquire how the food was, to see if we need anything, or even to offer to refill our drink glasses which sat empty on the table through out the entire meal. There was only one other table occupied when we were there and they had a different server. During our dining experience I watched him walk past our table several times, going in and out of the entrance. Even after finishing our meal our plates sat there on the table before another server came over to inquire er were finished and if we wanted the unfinished portions boxed up.

A lovely little "hole-in-the-wall" find on Main Street in Cooperstown. Calm, modern atmosphere with an excellent, attentive staff and deliciously well executed food.

Our family vacation, and first-time visit to Toscana's was a memorable experience due to the whole staff; and Dan was a fantastic waiter. We had the Chilean sea bass, Osso Bucco, Lobster ravioli, and Frutti di mare. To drink we had Montepulciano and Pinot Grigio. For dessert, Tiramisu, and Limoncello cake, and limoncello aperitifs. Absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back!

We were in Cooperstown for the first time recently and celebrated our anniversary dinner here. What a wonderful restaurant! Immediately I was struck by the busy, upscale vibe, with just the right amount of noise. I also loved that there were sconces on the walls with REAL candle pillars, which probably had to be change ever night or two. A very nice touch. We ordered the chicken parmesan, at the suggestion of a local in the area that we had bumped into. It was HUGE and soooo good! It also came with a huge side of pasta with tasty vodka cream sauce. I ordered one of the specials, which was a seabass over mashed potatoes. The fish was cooked perfectly and seasoned ok, but sadly the potatoes weren't very hot, and overall taste of the dish was just average, with a high price tag of $54, which is why the food is the only part I gave a 4 rating vs 5. The chocolate mousse dessert was delicious though! Dan was our server, and provided us with what service SHOULD be at an upscale restaurant, but unfortunately often isn't. He was both pleasant and present. We enjoyed the restaurant so much that we went back a few days later to just get dessert and coffee.

This is such an incredible authentic italian restaurant in the heart of cooperstown. If you feel like your waiting a while, dont be stupid. Relax. Enjoy. Serious. Such good food. If Im ever back, this is on the revisit list.

We had such a fabulous evening last night. My husband and I started with calamari which was so tender and juicy. The veal parm was amazing along with my chicken marsala. Bella was our waitress and she was fantastic. I would highly recommend this cozy downtown restaurant to anyone visiting Coopertown.

From the moment my husband and I walked into the bakery I was in heaven. The smell of the freshly baked goods was amazing- I wish I could keep it in a bottle!! Ian was there to greet us and we found out he is the owners son. He was helpful, appreciate and extremely patient as I didn’t know what to choose!! He recommended the fresh pizza that had just come out of the oven. I was thinking cinnamon roll at the time…soo.. I got the pizza and we took a dozen cookies, some fritters and my cinnamon roll home to eat later. The pizza was the bomb! So crispy and the fresh bread it was on was amazing. Sauce too! The decorated sugar cookies are amazing too! Tasty and acutely decorated! Also couldn’t leave without a half moon cookie. I’d be 300 pounds if I lived in town. We were just passing though and I’m so glad we went in. My lumberjack latte was amazing too. Ian took the time to explain the family history of the store as well three generations of his family running it since 1887!! His step dad really comes in at 2 am to make everything fresh too! I would most definitely stop in if you’re in town! If you’re a local I’m pretty sure you already know this!

Bakery with cookies, donuts, cakes and coffee. The cookies and donuts were good but coffees were lacking in size and flavor. We got a frosted sugar cookie, bluberry donut, and a nutrer butter sandwich cookie. One of the ice coffees was supposed to have pumpkin but tasted like just caramel. Free p8arking can be hard to find but there's plenty of paid parking available.

We made a quick stop at this bakery to grab some cookies and donuts—and wow, the moment we walked through the door, we were hit with the most incredible smell. It was pure sugar heaven... I joked that just breathing it in gave me diabetes (in the best way possible)! We picked up a variety of treats and brought them to a family reunion where everyone contributed a dish. Midway through the gathering, someone suggested we vote on our favorite food item just for fun—and to our surprise (and delight), the cookies from the bakery won by a landslide. We weren’t even trying to compete, but they stole the show. Needless to say, we’ll be back. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was warm, and the baked goods were absolute crowd-pleasers. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. Your taste buds will thank you.

On our way out of town, we made a quick stop and I went in to Schneider's bakery for a few donuts. Great selection but I chose a few regular donuts. Hopefully with a little less sugar. They smelled great and I am sure they will taste good. My wife does the smart thing and stays in the car. And also refrains from eating any. I wish I could do the same thing. Oh well.

Nice bakery, but the cinnamon buns were flavorless aside from the sugar blast from the glaze. It was basically a glazed donut,but shaped differently. Avoid until they have future versions evaluated by someone from the International Consortium of Cinnamon Bun Experts. I am the president of the organization. Try using some cinnamon.

Just an old school classic bakery. The donuts are what I came for, but honestly think I mostly enjoyed the cinnamon roll the most. The donuts weren't bad by any means just weren't the qualities of soft, fluffy, or flavorful that I look for. The cinnamon roll just the icing and the filling that gave it the flavor needed.

Really cute little bakery / cafe in Cooperstown, and good place to start your walk towards Hall of Fame. I got my favorite pastry, Linzer Tart, and I wish it was harder. It just crumbled as I pick it up..

We had a great experience there in the past and a few weeks ago. However we did notice your historical, progressive town has no recycling in the garbage pick up at either of the homes we stayed at. When we asked the owners said, no they don't. Its a shame, why are you filling up landfills, so close to pristine lakes and hillsides. I know you will direct this in the right direction to one of your members of the chamber. Thank you. T MC

I've tried every place that serves french onion soup in Cooperstown and this is by far the worst. The main ingredient should be onions and all it tasted like was oil and cheese. I could feel my heart having to work harder with each bite. Another table had to go get their own ketchup. The only saving grace was the pork chops. They were very good. But the soup ruined the whole meal.

Our service staff was nice and polite. Food all sweet I don’t know if the Chef meant to put salt instead put sugar??? But he intends to put salt the food will surely come out way too salty. 4 piece chicken look like and taste like one of the TV dinners. Shrimp scampi was also sweet no lemon/ garlic or buttery flavor at all, plus the salad and corn bread that comes with the meal was not served. Mac and cheese/ lobster bisque also sweet. * Take note I put comment on FB but somehow seen bad response from the management towards their customers. No customer service at all, instead of apologizing calling customers liars and made rude responses and somehow blocked me.

We had a late lunch here. The food was good. Better than some other places we've tried here. We had french dip, pork sandwich, Caesar salad & kid's sliders. We enjoyed our food. The buns were soft. The chips weren't salted or seasoned, so kinda bland. Fries were extra crispy. My daughter felt the Caesar dressing was a little strong. It took a little longer to get our food than we thought it should. The place was not even half full when we were there. Our waiter was attentive & polite.

Placed and order for the Nachos, they came to the table burnt. We started eating and noticed flies in our food. Our server was too busy using her cell phone to notice my waves for assistance. After 15 minutes of attempts to get her attention I finally got up and complained and asked for our food that was "almost ready" to go. We waited an additional 20 minutes at the host stand for our food to go. The manager never came after I complained. And they still charged us for everything except for the Nachos. When we got to the car with our food which was disgusting and cold. We made the decision to get fast food of better quality. I have never had such a horrible dining experience and my advice would be to avoid this establishment.

We called ahead to this restaurant to see if they could handle a group of 40. Sure they tell us to come in. Took us an hour to get our drinks... the way we got service was to use our cell phone to call in to the restaurant as no one came to our table... than 2 hours to get food, never once came out to refill or explain why everything was taking no so long. After getting our check 2 1/2hrs after we arrived, we asked to see the Manager to explain our frustrations. She never offered an apology but said SOMEONE HAS TO BE LAST!! SO go at your own risk!!! Food mediocre!

The food was excellent and well priced. The outdoor, upstairs seating left a little to be desired. I assume it was a perfect venue before the ownership had to remove the tree that shaded said balcony seating. The tables and stools were pewter/metal finished, and the staff had not put any of the umbrellas up until we chose to sit there. The clear skies, 95°, and 100°+ heat index made the seating area quite toasty for a little while. Other than that, I enjoyed the venue and liked being able to see the NBHoF and "people watch."

Went here during induction weekend, service was good.

12noon and 2 hot dogs that look old and no fixes like on your stupid sign. Also very dirty so I'm glad I didn't eat there. A shame I used to love there hot dogs but now they suck as much as the service

What is the deal with that place ? They never have enough employees and I am sure they can afford it. Then there’s the one store in Oneonta I will not ever go to again because someone did an hit n run to my car while I was in the store for maybe 5 minutes. 90% of the time those Blue pallets are stacked a mile high and what you need is on the bottom and the poor overworked person is helpless to do anything. Really how cheap a company can they be ? Get some help and treat them well so the customers don’t feel like an afterthought. Thanks

Richer Roast coffee...this is the 2nd time in a week that it has a burnt taste to it because it's old.

Went in for ice cream on the Sunday evening of induction weekend and was greeted with the BEST service. Very sweet young lady and man working, really made an effort to be enthusiastic with kids in line. Ice cream was awesome as usual. All around a great experience with exceptional service

I frequent this Stewart’s because I work in Cooperstown and pass this place quite often on my commute. The employees here are always kind and friendly. Frank is excellent at his job and was really helpful. Good job Stewart’s!

If I could give 1/2 a star I would I used to love going to this Stewart’s and now I hate going there very rude and disrespectful staff they act like working there is a bother and every time I come into the store the employees sit there complaining amongst themselves about all the things they hate, really bad service I ordered a sub tonight and the lady just kept snapping at me because they where out of stuff and she didn’t want to go to the cooler and get it, there’s almost never fresh coffee anymore I frequent this Stewart’s before work and if there was any other option In town I would never go here! There hasn’t been a time in 2 weeks that I’ve been here that me and about 5 other customers didn’t have to wait atleast 5 minutes for the employees to finish complaining before they would even acknowledge a customer, they don’t even great you or say anything they just ring you up and continue their conversation with each other! I’m very disappointed in how Stewart’s in Cooperstown is becoming

We stopped for ice cream. Do not let the gas station/ convenience store deter you. The ice cream is delicious! We went back on the 4th for more. Both times we had great, friendly service. It was the best ice cream we had at Cooperstown, and our family LOVES ice cream.

Of all the lots in Cooperstown, this is my favorite. It's a bit small (so get there early!), but it's coziness and closeness to downtown Cooperstown makes this lot the one to park in. You can take the trolley (an all-day pass is $2 per person, or $5 for a family as of this writing), which is a good deal in Cooperstown, let me tell you. Forget about parking on Main St. Park in a lot and take the trolley. If you want, it is a pleasant walk from the Red Lot to Main St. I'd say around a 15-20 minute walk. Might do you good after sitting in the car for all that time. It's downhill and you get to really experience the quaintness of Cooperstown. Only drawback: it's uphill on the way back. Easy solution: take the trolley back to the Red Lot. Questions? Concerns? Ask a trolley driver! They are all friendly, courteous, and helpful; they'll be glad to help you out and answer any questions. My goodness, you're on vacation! Enjoy yourself! Don't worry about parking! Take my advice: use the Red Lot. Park your car. Lock it up. Gather your things and the kids and get ready to enjoy a gem of a town: Cooperstown.

Great place to park for free if you're visiting Baseball Hall of Fame

IF YOU BUY IT, THE TROLLEY WON'T COME Sadly we bought tickets and the trolley drove right on by. We ended up walking down to the BHoF. Preparing to head back to our vehicle we nevet saw a trolley along the roads, even though the map on the website indicated stop locations, so we walked back...only to have a trolley come trough upon our arrival to our car in the lot. Tickets purchased through automated machine that offered to add more, but would not permit more then 4. So we had to make to purchases for our party...with a surcharge for each purchase - there was no cash option; only credit, which also included the surcharge. Bottom line - $15 for 6 tickets with 2 surcharges and the trolley nevet stopped for us or picked us up. While I got an email apologizing from the town and one person from the trolley call to talk to no avail (I work and was in a meeting, but I returned the call...still waiting). Lesson learned: IF YOU BUY IT, THE TROLLEY WON'T COME

Great free parking within walking distance of the Baseball Hall of Fame

We parked our rv here while we toured the baseball HOF and then paid $1 to ride the trolley it was worth it.

Great location, not RV friendly

Tiny lot, free, get there early if it's a busy day in Cooperstown. Trolley was on time, not crowded that day.

Imani Winds - another great concert! I’ve enjoyed all the Cooperstown Summer Music Festival concerts I’ve attended. So glad to be back with in person performances.

Fantastic place for music lovers. The musicians performed here are truly world-class. I can't wait to attend the concerts after two years of Covid disruption.

A wonderful concert series bringing world class musicians to a small upstate New York community. Something to look forward every summer.

Extraordinary Performances in beautiful settings in Cooperstown. Wonderful volunteer opportunity also.

I love the variety of concerts I've been able to see in beautiful Cooperstown!

A terrific festival with brilliant artistic leadership. You wont be disappointed!

We are thrilled that you will be back this summer. We have missed the live music.

This is an excellent bed and breakfast that's why I am staying again for the 2nd time and look forward to staying here again in the future.

(Translated by Google) Very good place (Original) Muy buen lugar

I got a seat next to the dock, beautiful view. There was a boat horn going off every few minutes but it didn't bother me. Got haddock tacos, really good. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve been to Lake Front Restaurant twice, and both times it happened to rain, but the experience was still very pleasant. The staff are very attentive and provide excellent service. The food was delicious, and the calm atmosphere along with the beautiful view makes it a great place to enjoy a meal.

It was such a beautiful day for lunch and drinks! We had a fabulous waitress, the food was satisfying, and the view was unbeatable. The sidewinder fries were such a fun surprise (you don’t see those often!) and the chicken panini hit the spot. The peachtini was both delicious and strong—highly recommend. My husband enjoyed his fish sandwich as well! Would definitely be happy to return in the future!

The location is gorgeous! The food was really good as well. I can't comment about the drinks because our server never brought mine. She was terrible! Literally in the middle of ordering and she just turned and walked away while I was mid-sentence. She then came back 10 minutes later and asked me to start over. Then when she asked my friend for her order, she did the exact same thing and walked away. My friend never got her drink and her food was wrong. The server got another person's meal wrong and a kid's meal wrong. She was just not paying attention at all and was incredibly rude if you asked her for a refill or a condiment. I don't know if she turned the food in to the kitchen at different times but our food came out staggered so that we were all sitting around waiting on two people in the end. I think this could be a great place if you get a different server then we had.

Everything was really good all around. The French onion soup was delicious, and so was the burger. My only complaint was that the ketchup didn’t taste right. It was way too vinegary, I think it may be expired.

We enjoyed a great lunch. Food was delicious, and Patty (our server) was great. She loved our dog and gave us great directions to local sights to visit. Wife found place on bring fido app.

Aside from the Beautiful view the service was prompt and friendly as well as knowledgeable. I an Gluten Free and All my concerns were answered . I decided on the Fresh Broiled Haddock and couldn't have been happier ☺️ Would recommend this be one of your stops while visiting the Cooperstown area ☺️

After reading several positive reviews, I was excited to try the prime rib here with my daughter. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the expectations. I've enjoyed prime rib in many places across the country, but this was, regrettably, the most disappointing I’ve had. My serving appeared as though it had been sitting out for some time…dry and lacking the freshness you'd expect. My daughter asked for hers to be cooked medium well, but it was well done. The au jus was bland. Even salt couldn't bring it to life. We had also ordered a Caesar salad to share, and after a lengthy wait, we asked our waitress about it. I mentioned we didn't want it served alongside our entrées, and she acknowledged that. However, both dishes arrived almost simultaneously, which was frustrating. To be fair, the ambience was pleasant, and our waitress was apologetic and kind throughout, which we appreciated. But unfortunately, the food didn't justify the hype, and based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend the restaurant for its prime rib.

Had a huge party there with some. pregame table snacks and about 60 of us all ordered drinks and food. Everything was top notch Lynn and the the girls gave stellar service, and the bartender made the best cocktails from Cosmos to Martinis. Atmosphere was perfect and seasonally decorated.

We were in town visiting family and were told that this was a must stop and we couldn't agree more! We had great service both times we visited while in town. We were greeted and seated promptly. The burgers were awesome, along with their pokè bowls, prime rib and delmonico. The smoked BBQ sauce was top notch. This will definitely be on our must visit when we are back in town to visit family!

Upstate Bar and Grill has a warm and friendly atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable. The food was fairly ordinary, but the prices are reasonable, and it’s definitely a spot you can go to anytime. A nice place to spend time with friends.

Fantastic food, ambiance, and server. So many big TVs/monitors were playing the live game. We ordered couple of drinks and fried shrimp, chicken burger with a side of fries and wings. I’m truly surprised at the speed of service. I would recommend to try the place whenever in cooperstown.

Outside and inside esthetics are great. Jessica was a lovely host. Very helpful and warm. The food had good flavor and the Fries were delish. I got Mac and cheese which was good also.

Let’s get this started. 7 hour roadtrip expecting to come in order wait 10-15 minutes have a meal in front of us. Whole family starving and we wait an hour for food because we (5 people) came in 2 minutes after a 45 person group so they were served before us. I have never been to a restaurant where a group of that size was served before a group of 5. Terrible service barely checked on us while we waited. Food was meh when it came out. Would not come back 1/5. 25$ Mac and cheese (pictured) came out cold and there was barely any of the plate. Seriously do not give this place any time of day! EDIT: Anyone else seeing this reply?😭

I give them an A for effort. The waitress tried to vegan-ize an item or two on the brunch menu (besides salad & fries), but the chef ultimately failed and I left. There were a quite a few Mexican dishes offered, but when a restaurant adds eggs to its flour tortillas, out go options for cruelty-free dining. Cute place Disappointing options.

The reviews were good. The food was outstanding! A chicken Caesar salad was amazing. The chicken tikka masala blew me away. Amazing flavors!

This restaurant has an awesome selection of vietnamese and thai foods. They have as full bar with many in house cocktails, that were delicious. If you are bored with the same old menu, this is the place for you! Our waitress/bartender was Taylor. She made drink recommendations and was very pleasant. I have to go back, becsuse I dont think i will be satisfied until I try everything on the menu!!

Excellent lunch there yesterday! Delicious and unique chicken wings, as well as the flavorful fish tacos. I often order fish tacos, and these were quite different and totally worth the extra cal indulgence! Wait staff was great and gave us plenty of time to catch up with an old friend whom we hadn't seen in 29 years. Perfect spot to do so! Highly recommend.

Great dinner. Every dish was carefully thought out and delicious. Accommodated our large party with ease and the waitress was helpful and efficient. Generally, I get nervous when there is a wide variety or differences with menu items but this place did not disappoint. We had 8 different meals within our party and everyone raved about their dish.

Great food with innovative creations and outstanding service

Absolutely delicious! Very unassuming interior but the menu is great. Dishes from all over the world. Had the pork belly buns. So delicious! Friends had Thai American and Indian dishes that all looked amazing. Mojito was also delicious. Would love to go back!

Terrible hours. Busiest weeks of the summer, thousands of people walking the downtown area and you’re closed in the morning? No breakfast, no lunch. Google says you’re open but when you get there they are closed. Every other restaurant is packed with customers.

The entire restaurant needs a deep clean- think about the fact that the air flowing through those dirty vents is near the food.. the sandwich was pretty sparse and not very good as well as very over priced. We felt like we were an inconvenience on the man working- he was more focused on his sports on TV than us. (Not to mention we were the only patrons at lunchtime…). We will exclusively be going to Spurbecks going forward. It’s a shame- this used to be a great sandwich shop, maybe it changed owners? I wouldn’t recommend it.

Laid back market/deli in Cooperstown. They make good subs and are friendly. I would consider stopping in if you need something on the go or for the ride home!

Tasty, quick and casual restaurant with vegan and vegetarian options. It has a cool antique-y vibe with old, mismatched coolers and display cases. The chalk menu is cute but doesn't have prices, and some of the bottom shelves are a little dusty but overall we were pleased with our meal and the service.

It's always great when you go to a place that make sandwiches and they have gluten free bread! And it's delicious! And they have gluten free desserts too! The coffee was delicious. They use Boar's head meats....so good! So glad we found this place and we will totally be going back!

🏠 little king of market-coffee shop where you can find different stuff like a chips, bakery, cheese, delicatessen and same time you can enjoy a delicious breakfast (bagels or Danny’s egg sandwich, salad) good coffee selection 👥 very friendly and kind staff ,m 💵 €

Amazing specialty sandwiches! I always drop in when I'm in the area! The "Black Forest" is to DIE for (though its not on the menu anymore, you can still request it...like a SECRET sandwich!) The "Chicken Dillema" is also phenomenal, the only dillema is picking your FAVORITE!

Bought some neat items here but left a personal book in the store that despite multiple phone calls, they can’t seem to mail to my home. Offered postage reimbursement but nothing comes. Not friendly customer service.

Best deals in Cooperstown best staff

Great propriator

Best pizza in Cooperstown. Always stop by here every other Friday night for a take out order. The prices are reasonable, easy spend around $50 for four people. even on the busiest of Friday nights when I call my order it is usually ready in about 20 minutes. The staff is always friendly, especially Kayla. She recognizes me on site, is always friendly, and even when I call in my order and give her my name she knows exactly who is calling. If you stop by definitely give the habanero mango wings a try.

It’s a pizza place. Order a whole pie or by the slice. Slice starts out as a basic cheese slice and add toppings of your choice. Nice crispy undercarriage. Toppings were flavorful and abundant. Chicken Ranch Salad is disappointing. Literally just fried chicken, lettuce, tomato and Nothing else. Waste of money for the most part.

Good solid slice of pizza. Had the buffalo chicken. There were six different pies fresh cooked and waiting to be sold by slice Prices are a bit on the high side for the area. Restaurant and seating area were clean. Wait staff was attentive and nice. Definitely will be back again.

Cool spot to get a slice in Cooperstown. It was just outside of downtown which made parking WAY easier. Ordered at the front - got a Stromboli (roll) and a slice. Roll was piping hot and was loaded with ingredients - you pick 5. Slice was solid too. Overall it was a good quick meal for a decent price. I would go back when in town

Very friendly with great service. The pizza was hot and delicious. Very crispy. This is definitely on the level pizza would find in the city.

Absolutely amazing pizza! Probably my favorite ever! Seems like the locals like it as well, popular spot. Easy in and out, not on the strip in downtown, its a couple blocks down, free standing bldg with its own parking lot. Family pack was a great deal, XL build your own pizza, family bowl of antipesto salad, and 20 wings with split flavors. Will 100% return when we're back through Cooperstown.

Moved up here from NJ 7 years ago, never thought we would find good pizza until we came here! The pizza is incredible. A shoutout to Kayla who works in the front! She knows everyone’s name does her job like a champ and makes the whole experience that much better!!

We’re visiting from Los Angeles, and just stopped in because we had extra time before dinner. Not only is their stuff excellent, but Willow took care of us for the entire time and was amazing. We’ve had a fantastic time. She’s awesome and you’re lucky to have her. Thank you! You have a great place here. We’ll be buying a bottle of your “scotch” online (don’t want to fly back with it).

Terrific place for a relaxing, hand crafted cocktail. Comfortable, relaxing seating that is well spaced. Friendly professional service, and really delicious drinks. Live music when we were there. Highly recommended. ♿️

This distillery makes spirits packed with flavor and punch. All of their in-house stuff was really good, and the single-malt whiskey was unique. It's pretty fancy inside and there are couches so you can sit and enjoy a drink and catch part of game or chat.

We stopped in for a quick drink. The unique hand-crafted cocktails immediately caught our attention and they did not disappoint. The mixologists are friendly and true to their craft. The place is kid-friendly. There's a spot for the under-aged to sit on the couch and mingle with the other kids from different parts of the country while the adults socialize. I will definitely be back multiple times while I'm here. The merchandise is worth acquiring and to sample many of their distilled drinks.

Surprising gem. Was not expecting a full bar but pleasantly surprised. Lots of variety, excellent staff. Chill mix of music to add the vibe. Has a nice little hang out spot tucked in the back. Highly recommend swinging in.

Small drink menu, but good variety. My husband liked the Bourbon mule. Relaxed and intimate setting Nikki was great, helpful and very informative.

We love the gin from the Cooperstown Distillery. They offered an excellent selection including gin, vodka, and whisky at a 30% discount.

Maddy is literally the best of the best. That poor girl dealt with absolutely every question I had to fire off and she answered everything perfectly in detail and a pleasant personality to match with that knowledge. I asked her about Mike Tyson coming to Cooperstown Ny and she was as excited as I was to answer the questions I had. She’s the best and if she remembers my name Catherine and gets her autograph from Mike Tyson cause she talked about the Empire State games I would even be happier cause I’d help the girl who helped me she’s great you’ll know once you deal with Maddy.

Stopped in for ice cream. Limited flavors and the small hard ice cream is really small. Go for the soft serve if you are looking for a reasonable serving of ice cream. No indoor seating. One table outside. Benches on the street.

Not very personal. Staff seemed annoyed with having to help with questions. Other shops and staff were much more friendly and accommodating. "All that glitters is not gold."

This shop is definitely for the experienced and serious collector! Great stuff, but very expensive (I would say accurately priced….just very high end items) I loved this store! Even if u don’t purchase, to look at the collectibles they have is really neat.

Very well priced, friendly and helpful. I recommend this store over all the other souvenir shops in Cooperstown.

VERY FRIENDLY and helpful staff with the very best selection of baseball cards in Cooperstown. They spent a good while helping me price out a 1953 Topps Satchel Paige card even though they did not have one at the time. Great photos and unreal choices.

Helpful staff that spent a lot of time looking for a few requested players. Ended up buying 2 baseballs. Answered my questions. Held a decent conversation. Vibe of the store was good.

Awesome! Got such great deals love the stores vibes and affordability highly recommend

Friendly staff and there is something for everyone here. If I lived in the area this will be my local card store.

I wish that I asked the man his name, but he was so great today during my visit! I purchased $60 in cards for what I thought was an amazing deal, and on top of that he threw in a specific player card I asked if he had for FREE! It took him 5 minutes to search the store and miraculously found it and even double sleeved it for me! I plan to come to Cooperstown again and will defiantly pay this place a visit just because of my extremely positive experience this afternoon. Thank you to the nice gentleman for your help and customer service!

This is my place to get my junk era cards I love so much.😄

I LOVE this store. The owner is always right there ready to help with any questions you might have. The prices are great and I've found several great cards for way way under their going price. I've been going here for around a month now, every weekend and I plan on going again this weekend! Support small businesses!!

Went 3 times already and will go probably 3 more in this trip. Amazing place, fair prices, great card selection and very friendly staff. 10/10. If your a baseball fan, go you will regret not going.

I bought some awesome shirts here 2 days ago while I was visiting Cooperstown. Got home & discovered that one shirt had a defect. I called & spoke with Adam, explained what happened and he offered to send me a replacement. I thought that was really awesome & thought that was a level customer service that you don’t often see anymore. Thank you Adam!

Brought my two grandsons here, and the had a blast. Plus, the employees are really super friendly and helpful. Not to mention when my daughter realized her phone was missing, we came back after hours and they allowed her to search around, and helped her find it! Nice place. Good people!

We had a great time here! The worker (school teacher) was SUPER helpful. We were first timers but she explained everything and made solid recommendations. A fun way to spend an hour!

The pitching machines are under construction. But Haley made sure we still had a great experience! She was so friendly to work with and gave replacement tokens when the machine ate them. I see great potential here and the staff, mainly Haley, made the experience fun.

We had a great time! It was reasonably priced too.

Really great place of business, the owners are nice and the food is superb, fun batting for the whole family! Definitely will visit again. Not anymore. New owners gutted all the character out of the building and raised prices. Unfortunate..

Nothing like an old-school batting cage during a nostalgic visit to Cooperstown! With machines ranging from knuckle pitches, to sweeping (but predictable) curveballs, to straight fastballs, there's something for everyone here. They have a basic snack bar, some video games, and a "guess your speed" lane as well. Definitely worth the stop if you're walking around near Doubleday!

Online says it's open but when you come its closed. Don't advertise your open if you're not. Drove 3.5 hours to do these fun things with my nephew and it was just a waste of time and money. For a tourist town it is truly horrible.

Best sports memorabilia shop I’ve visited ever. The owner was amazing, a perfect shop for Cooperstown. You can feel the passion and authenticity the moment you walk in

If you are looking for a specific card or player and in need of knowledgeable staff, this is the place to go. I mentioned someone that played 22 MLB games and the staffer found 3 cards for me!. I was more than shocked, surprised and impressed. For the diehard baseball card collectors, this is a must.

Hands down the best card shop I’ve ever been to. Personable and very knowledgeable. Way more than just cards. This is the shop to visit in Cooperstown.

Great selection of cards and great prices.

Full disclosure: this is my father’s store. He opened it over 30 years ago, just before I was born. I was raised in that store. Catfish Hunter held me as an infant in that place. There is no baseball to me without Pioneer Sports Cards. My dad, Mark, has lived and breathed baseball his entire life. It is not a job or a “hustle” for him. Whether it’s a trip to Florida for spring training or the World Baseball Classic (there is no bigger American WBC fan), or just catching a Yankee game at home, you cannot mistake his devotion as anything other than a pure passion and respect for the sport. If you want an authentic Cooperstown experience, this is it. If you could see the love and dedication and enthusiasm that I’ve seen him put into that place my entire life, the labor of love that is Pioneer Sports Cards, you wouldn’t pass through town without stopping in to talk baseball and open a pack of cards with Mark.

Saw a piece there that I loved. Was too big to fly back with me. They shipped it to me instead. Everything went great! Pleasure to deal with.

Mark brings decades of dedication and experience to bear in offering one of a kind insight and fair dealings in sports memorabilia. Highly recommended for buyers, sellers, and everyone in between.

Cute spot to enjoy some swimming. Love the diving board, and that there were lifeguards. Very narrow sitting area at the waterfront, but the chairs were great to sit in.

Beautiful lakeside swimming and sunning spot. Not much parking and locals use mostly. Visiting from other area pay $5.per person. Lifeguard is on duty. Steep walk down to the water best be sure footed.

Nice, beautiful little place. Nothing extra, just a good place to launch and/or let the dogs swim

Love this park and Jacob is a phenomenal care taker. Was so glad to find this hidden Gem.

Entrance is past the cemetery. Tiny parking lot with a narrow piece of sand and a dock and diving platform. You might or might not be asked to pay admission.

Beautiful area. Rough road

Very peaceful....

You have to go through the hospital parking, LOT 2, in order to find the trail. It's a short walk to the beautiful little bridge. It's quiet and peaceful. We saw a crane flying by.

Easy 5 min stroll. Worth a look if you're passing by.

It's not well marked on the map. Not accessible by the public as shown—this leads down a private way. You have to drive to Lot 2 of the nearby medical center. It's not much of a trail really, just a fraction of a mile along the river. Wet and muddy on this visit in early April.

Nice spot . Hard to find . Google map walking instructions are WRONG . The head of the short dirt walking trail is unmarked , but starts at the NE corner of the parking lot behind one of the Basset Medical Center facilities. If u are heading south on River St , it’s the last left before u go over the road bridge . Should be plenty of parking there if u go on a weekend .

What a great hidden gem. To get to it you’ll need to go further on river street to the parking lot before the road bridge. Park at the end and you’ll see a path along the Sequanna river.

What a beautiful quiet spot.

It's a hidden gem that isn't easy to find, but kind of magical when you see it.

The church is beautiful. I visited the cemetery to see the resting place of the town's founders and famous author, James Fenimore Cooper, who was a parishioner here. The choir was practicing and the church doors were open to let in the fresh spring air. I could hear their voices throughout the churchyard. Peaceful. Like this review if you find it helpful.

Great church with nice very nice people. I find the grave yard most interesting.

Nice church. Pastor is very kind hearted. Good listener. People are very friendly

AA, rooted in years of sharing experience, Strength and Hope! A hand up out of the pits of hell!

Incredible old graveyard, burial place of James Fenmore Cooper.

An architectural must

Beautiful Church !!

Nice hike but not marked at all, at some points you will wander off the trail. The hike is extremely steep and when you make it to the caves and rocks, it is unfortunately very dangerous. Views and scenery are nice, I would rate it higher but it is too dangerous.

I would like not have minded the impossible, near-death experience, 6 inch trail IF there was actually a cave at the end. In the case, there wasn’t. We found a hole in a rock, and the hike was not worth it.

I only gave this rating because GPS stops in the middle of the road. I also didn't see any clear sings posting the trail. I couldn't tell if the property was posted or not. I couldn't see any place to park

Laurence scouts troope 10 moving up ceremony weekend / camping badges. There are multiple personal grilling stations as well as fire pits located at your tent zones. The hiking trails are clearly visible even in rainy conditions all the scouts enjoyed the 2-mile hike that they did in the all-day rain. If you want a place where you can go and get away from technology some what is a perfect area it's got signs up everywhere no drone zone. During the time that my family and the other Scouts were there there was a 5k / 10K run walk event going on from the main Beach. For sanitation there is plenty of porta potties they do have a shower house / bath house you can bring your pets just would need your shots records and tags. They do offer would on sight as you first enter the park. All in all it was a peaceful experience an even when it rains they have the availability for those who may be looking for an activity to do where you can go on the tour of the grounds Maine house which they do three different types of toys one of them just so happens to be a quote haunted/ghost tour. There are plenty of pavilions and multiple playgrounds to keep occupied while watching the water and staring up at the stars

Glimmerglass State Park is amazing!! It's a perfect blend of almost a beach and an amazing park rolled into one! I have been here many many times and rent kayaks and paddle around in what almost seems like a marsh right under the most beautiful old covered bridge. I highly recommend this place for a beautiful fun filled day for everyone!

Glimmerglass state park ia a beautiful place to swim in the summer and hike in the fall. In the winter you can snowshoe and ice skate. You can take a tour of Hyde Hall and walk the covered bridge trail. The hikes are easy, we'll marked and visitor friendly.

Camping here on our way across NYS. Easy access from main highways. Lovely view of lake ostego. Laughing lion trail was pleasant. Did not do the tour but looked like fun. Site 39 in primitive area was quite nice. Free Showers in main camping area. Lots of day use it appears based on size of parking lot. Would stay again. Close to cooperstown. Oh yes, great friendly staff.

Make sure you get water at the DUMP Station. Some idiot put all old fashioned bathroom faucets at the campground so people can't use a hose to fill their trailers holding tanks. You can only get BUCKETS of water! Thats okay for a nonelectric campsite but not for the RV side. The park itself is beautiful and close to Cooperstown and has a trail through the oldest covered bridge in the US.

This is a beautiful state park on Lake Otsego, not far from Copperstown and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Great campground. Nicely spaced sites, very clean, nice restrooms & hot showers. Beautiful views of Lake Ontario from the common ground area

An amazing piece of history and a triumph of the state of New York for its support to save this building. We were visiting the Glimmerglass park when we saw the mansion high up on the hill. A lovely woman at the concession stand at the park told us that this is a renovation of the Clark family home and it’s full of history. We were delighted to go on a tour the next day and learn more about details from a very knowledgeable guide. Definitely check this out.

Hyde Hall is an extraordinary British-style country house set in Cooperstown, NY. The house was built between 1817-1834 by architect Phillip Hooker. It was home to five generations of the Clarke family. There are 50 rooms in the house and the house has picturesque views of Otsego Lake. At the time the house was built, it was arguably the best that money could buy. The house has grand rooms, high ceilings, and impressive architectural features. The dining room itself measures twenty-four by thirty-six feet. Perhaps, one of the most unique innovations in the house are chandeliers that were lit by vapor light. Through a demonstration I had the opportunity to see this technology in use and it was amazing. The tour guide stated that this might be the only place in the world where you can see a working vapor light chandelier. There is also a large kitchen here that is much much bigger than kitchens in comparable mansions.. The library is another captivating room. You will also see some of the servants quarters on the tour. The house is still in the process of being renovated, but there is still a lot to see. Seeing the house from the outside is impressive. It is constructed mostly of limestone. You will notice the four Grecian columns in the front of the house. From inside of the house you will notice the open courtyards. The porch is another gem of this house as it has a wonderful view of the lake. The house can also be seen from the lake. On your way to the house you will pass by on what is thought to be America’s oldest covered bridge. It is fairly easy to get a tour here and you can call ahead of time for hours. You can enter through Glimmerglass State Park to get here, but there is also a separate road leading to the mansion. After a mansion tour Glimmerglass State Park offers a lot to do. Cooperstown is famous for its many attractions including the Baseball Hall of Fame and Farmers Museums. Hyde Hall should rank right up there with them. It’s that great!

A wonderful historic mansion, worth the drive. Had an informative 1 hour tour of this fascinating property. Notable that 75% of the furniture and decor are original. Tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. It was the day before Halloween and she was nice enough to share some spooky tales. Recommended visit.

Wonderful tour however the day tours only show the first floor. I would love a tour that shows all three floors even if it costs more.

We found Hyde Hall on our way into Cooperstown. It looked like an interesting place to take a tour. We didn't know much about this mansion and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered many questions from the small group we were in. Although chilly, it was a crisp, sunny day and the views were amazing. We enjoyed seeing all the rooms in the house and witnessing the restoration progress. It would have been nice if there had been some seating throughout for those like my husband that have a hard time standing for an hour +.

As a history lover, this tour was great! It is so cool seeing so many pieces of furniture original to the home and family. The house is being restored so some parts are in a bit of disarray but you just have to overlook that. Very interesting home on a beautiful piece of property, with an interesting history of its inhabitants. If you’re nearby and love history or architecture, go check it out!

Would highly recommend Hyde Hall as a wedding venue. The location is beautiful, the views are beautiful and the location is personal and serene. The hall staff is the most helpful and accommodating out of any venue I've ever worked at before.

Course was pretty. A little pricey for the length of the course. The score trackers that were handed out were completely lamented so we couldn't put our score down properly. Parts of the course were run down and the pipe for a few of the holes were broken and jagged causing improper shots to be had.

This place is adorable! Now that the season is cooling down, we stopped in at opening for some putt-putt and ciders. The courses are on the easier side (loved that the final hole was skeeball!), I really enjoyed the western theme and the fun facts along the way. The tables along the way for drinks was a plus too. The owners are super sweet, and the screen game was a fun surprise! Definitely a great spot for a date day or a family outing!

Very nice, affordable golf course that I went to with my grandparents while we were on vacation up here. Staff were very nice, and the holes were easy to find and a reasonable difficulty. 5 stars.

Amazing family friendly location. Super kind staff and knowledgeable about the area. The ice cream was so good with so many options! Also had beer on tap for the adults while we golfed. Would definitely go back!!

What a great place for family or friends fun. The mini golf courses are fun and have interesting obstacles... there's even one with a water feature! Afterwards treat yourself to a milkshake or ice cream and browse the gift shop. The staff was friendly and helpful.. we had a great time.

This is a fun mini golf course. Plus if you get a hole in one on the 18th hole you win a free twist. They have a small gift shop, beer, and ice cream available so it makes it a neat spot.

Fun place. Great course. Good selection of food inside. Loved the additional activities like ceramic painting and the gold digging. We all Had fun kids ages 2-8-11. They even had a mini plastic club for my 2 year old.
