I would say this museum is a "one and done" type. Once you see it one time there is really no reason to go back unless you are a huge Cleveland Indians/ Bob Feller fan. Mural on the outside in neat and lots of information on the inside.

Best disappointing visit for sure. It started when we came through the front door. The host was very unfriendly and made us feel like we were bothering him. There was some interesting exhibits, but I would not recommend going out of your way to stop here.

I visited the Feller exhibits with an Classic Car group. I love baseball and was very pleased with the exhibit. It was easy to get around and the people answered our questions.

We enjoyed looking around the museum and learning about Bob Feller. It's small and personable, a good break travelling on I-80.

I went there little over a month ago. It was awesome to walk into a part of Americans past time, baseball. You are greeted by a very nice gentleman behind the counter. Next a charming lady, does the presentation. A chance for questions to be answered. Now a chance to look around, this is when the begins.. One has to look at the baseball bat, that Babe Ruth leaned on when he said good bye to baseball. You see pictures of other famous ball players that have played with Bob. Some still stop by this day, to look things over. The baseballs that are signed by other ball players. There is even a section of football too. As you leave town, back to the interest, please stop by the US Cemetary. It's is new and work is being done on it, but its nice for the State of Iowa.

Go to Bob's place 4-5 times per year to browse the museum and meet local and national sports legends. Who'd of thought there is a place in the small town of Van Meter were you could meet your favorite players of years past. Have been attending events their for 7-8 years meeting legends like: Andre Dawson, Gale Sayers, Bob Gibson and the late Bob Feller. It's nice to see the history of the exhibits from Bob's life. I think the prized possession is the Babe Ruth bat. It was Bob's bat that the Babe used to help him stand at his farewell at Yankee Stadium. If you're in the area, be sure to check it out. The staff is as friendly as can be.

Visited on a Wednesday afternoon. Only a few others; not really busy. Exhibits concentrate on Feller and the Cleveland Indians but there are also pictures and smaller exhibits for football, hockey, and baseball. Extremely friendly personnel. Pretty complete story and exhibits from Feller's early years and his playing career, including a 25-minute video. Not much about his involvement with the Indians and other baseball pursuits after his retirement from playing. Museum is entirely necessary for an Indians' fan but probably marginal for others. Easy to find once you get to the Van Meter exit off I-80.

Thousands upon thousands of travellers pass a stones throw from this delightful exhibit a couple of minutes from Interstate 80, just west of Des Moines, Iowa. This shrine to baseball Hall-of-Fame pitcher Bob "Rapid Robert", "The Heater from Van Meter," Feller is just too convenient and fun to miss. Baseball fans of any age or loyalty will really enjoy this celebration of Feller and the game itself. A tribute worthy and accessible to rate it 4 stars.

Baseball fans and Iowans will appreciate this museum the most, others can't go too far wrong with an admission price of just $5.00. Not a baseball fan myself, I gleaned more from Feller's obituary than I did from this museum. The treasure of the museum is one of Bob Feller's bats, autographed by Babe Ruth. The Babe borrowed the bat on June 13, 1948, using it as a cane at Yankee Stadium in his final public appearance. You have seen the famous photograph.

The Bob Feller Museum in Van Meter, Iowa is a must see attraction for baseball fans travelling through Central Iowa. Cleveland Indians fans will find the museum especially enjoyable.The Museum is just a few miles south of I-80. Take the Van Meter exit and head south in to town. You can’t miss the museum on the right.It is a small two room exhibit with jersey and memorabilia from one of the greatest pitchers of all time. Feller is proud of his Navy service during World War II and there are exhibits on his service.They have a television set to watch a video from the early 1970’s. Tom Seaver and Feller are driving around on a golf cart as Seaver interviews Feller about his career. It was a syndicated television show and I simply cannot remember the name of it now, but I remembered the series from my youth. Feller was not the opinionated cantankerous individual he is often portrayed as now.There is a souvenir “shop” in the lobby – mostly autographed baseballs and pictures of various players. Feller was one of the first baseball players to sell his autograph back in the 1970’s and the memorabilia business helps keep the museum open. We didn’t buy anything as my son obtained his autograph at Spring Training a few years ago and I have an autographed ball signed in the 70’s.Don’t plan on more than an hour to visit. Reading up on Feller and his career before your visit will add meaning to it. As an Indians fan I had read a biography of Feller last year so the trip was especially meaningful for me. If you aren’t an Indians fan or don’t know much about Feller’s career, I am not sure that you will get much out of the exhibit

For any baseball fan passing through the Des Moines area, this is a nice stop. The museum is easy to find in the small town - just look for the building with the large brick relief of Feller on the side. Inside are several small rooms of artifacts from Feller's Hall of Fame career. These cover a range from his pre-professional days to time in the Armed Services to the majors and afterwards. There is also a wide selection of signed baseballs and photos from various baseball players...many of which are for sale.
