Reply to "Cooperstown versus Cal Ripken experience for 12 u"

FWIW, my son liked Cooperstown Dreams Park so much as a 12YO, (even though he didn't hit a HR there and had a fever at the closing ceremonies) he went back for a week and umpired the summer between HS and College. Had a ball both times.

As an adult and looking back, I wish I had added on a few days to explore the Fingerlakes area of NY.

We did a weekend Ripken tournament in Aberdeen, MD. It was fun and staying in the Hotel there (Courtyard Marriott - looks like the warehouse at Camden Yards) added to the experience. You just walk out the back doors and you are there. His little travel team from 10-12U didn't travel overnight too much, so these two trips were highlights.
