Larry Bird Museum — Attraction in Terre Haute

Hi I'm from Illinois and Larry Bird was, is and always will be (my hero)! One of the greatest to ever pick up a 🏀 basketball and my personal all time favorite! I visited the museum shortly after making my 🪣 bucket list Celtics game which was game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. It was amazing to find out so much more about my hero, and I was blown away to see so much of his hardware he picked up during his career and uniforms all the way back to his high school days. The 3 world championship rings were the icing on the cake but OMG there's so much more including rings, trophies, his Olympic gold 🥇 medal from the original 92 (dream team) and not to mention the signed shirt Magic Johnson gave him at the 93 retirement ceremony! It's a small place, but there's more than enough stuff to see. So so glad I made it there, and to do it just after making a Celtics playoff game in Boston was special. It's a must see for any fan of this great Legend! My hero! The only way I could ever top this is to actually meet Larry! I'm glad he dedicated the 84 championship to Terre Haute. I still go back and watch it sometimes, and recently caught an interview of Cedric Maxwell reliving game 4 so I relived it with them! Awesome stuff! Thank you to Terre Haute, and to Larry Bird for making this museum possible!...

I traveled 200 miles to see my idol and visit the new museum. It is a place to not only to honor a basketball legend, but to inspire its patrons. I found out many things about Larry Bird I didn't know from reading his book. The Red Auerbach Western Union telegram was interesting and the many quotes about Bird from other players off the court. I actually laughed out loud reading the trash talk wall. While reading about his humble beginnings they have some great visuals to explain how he and yourself measure up against the competition. He did not dominate in jumping or other things but used his quick mind to excel in the game. At the end of the visit I threw some hoops which I haven't done in years. I missed several shots and after touring this exhibit I am going to work on getting back into basketball again this summer. I think this is what this museum has set out to do is inspire everyone. I also now realize why Bird made such a great coach! I hope they do have some special exhibits or events over the years to keep it fresh. Its a small town and a small museum you only need to see once, I wouldn't mind stopping at it again to see something new if I was...

What an amazing experience. A lifelong dream to come to see where the legendary Larry Bird memorabilia exhibit is. Might I add it is Free! We were greeted with Smiles upon arrival. The Self-guided tour showcases the journey of his career. The interactive stations were great. The vertical jump had me laughing at our group with not-so-high jumps, the wing span is huge, and the speed tap was a favorite with the kids and adults too. The rings and displays for the medals were so realistic that you think can reach in and touch them. The basketball shooting range was the highlight for everyone. As someone who grew up loving the Celtics, Larry Bird, and 3-pointers. What an amazing athlete. We fulfilled a childhood bucket list. We had the best time. We even received a mini-stress basketball when we left. I 10/10 recommend coming here. Thank you for making this experience one we will remember for a...
