Bobblehead promotions help sell out ballparks and arenas around the country. The Reds Hall of Fame and Museum's bobblehead exhibit highlights the bobblehead craze through the display of a wide array of bobbleheads dating to the introduction of the collectible as a novelty item in the early 1960s.

The exhibit features all of the Cincinnati Reds bobbleheads that have been created as ballpark giveaways dating to the first set that was issued in 2001, plus every bobblehead issued by the Reds Hall of Fame. Along with the Reds bobbleheads, the exhibit includes a selection of bobbleheads from other Major League teams as well as those from other sports and non-sports bobbleheads.
