The Slugger Museum is $24 for an adult, and its factory tour takes about 30 minutes. Every guest gets a free mini bat at the end. The Muhammad Ali Center is $20 and is closed Monday and Tuesday. The Speed Art Museum is $25, and Sunday is pay-what-you-can. The Big Four Bridge is open to walkers, and its lights run from twilight until 1 a.m.
A TARC bus ride costs $2.25, and a 24-hour pass costs $5.00. No TARC route from the airport is confirmed, so use the taxi stand outside baggage claim or a Lyft or Uber.
