Minneapolis Sports Academy — Attraction in Bloomington

Went in to do the batting cages on a Sunday morning and it was somewhat busy with lots of teens running around and practicing and doing their thing.

The batting cages for regular folks is very DIY. You grab your bucket of balls (most of them in rough shape) and you go to your space and figure it out on your own. It will take some time before you know how to operate the machine and to ensure that you have the right kind of balls for your machine. We didn't so we had to go grab different ones.

You bring your own bat and your own gear. I'd recommend a bat and gloves at the very least.

It's roughly $40 an hour for the batting cages which is somewhat steep but cheaper than other places.

I'd come back but I'd probably want to split it three ways...

I made it over to MSA today for their opening weekend. It's awesome. As a baseball coach, I'm always looking for indoor space in the Twin Cities area to hit and field with my son and his teammates in the off-season. MSA's cages are bigger than other local facilities and their location near 35W is very convenient. ...

I'm so excited for this space! My kids had such a fun time, and it was super easy to get to and parking right out front. I overheard coaches commenting on how great MSA's set up was and how much it will help improve...
