The Hall of Fame is known for excellence and for preserving baseball history. Baseball fans can get closer to the Hall of Fame and to their favorite baseball heroes through a variety of special Hall of Fame Experiences.
Hall of Fame Fantasy Camp
In 2005, the Hall of Fame launched their first Fantasy Camp, and it has quickly become a favorite of baseball fans all over the country. A truly unique experience, the Hall of Fame Fantasy Camp is the perfect gift for the baseball fan in your life. Each October, dozens of baseball fans arrive in Cooperstown to play baseball, tour the Hall of Fame, play golf, stay in a world-class resort hotel, and be pampered as part of Hall of Fame Fantasy Camp. Four Hall of Famers serve as managers, and former major leaguers are on hand as coaches. Hall of Fame Fantasy Camp participants make memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

Play Ball with Ozzie Smith
In 2002, when shortstop Ozzie Smith was inducted into the Hall of Fame, he brought Play Ball with Ozzie Smith to Cooperstown. The event, which takes place the Friday of Hall of Fame Weekend, allows participants to turn double plays with Ozzie and other Hall of Famers. In the past, George Brett, Gary Carter and Ryne Sandberg have taken part. Ozzie generously donates all proceeds from that event to the Hall of Fame's Education Department. Learn more about the Play Ball event.
Proceeds from these events are used for the Hall of Fame's Education Department and other Museum initiatives. These unique events provide an intimate and exclusive setting for you to meet and interact with the greatest players in baseball history.
