Pre-Game Tour

If you want to see the park just a few hours before a game begins, this is an excellent opportunity.

In addition to seeing many of the same areas included on the daily tours, you will also have the chance to watch warmups on the field from the first three rows right behind home plate.

This tour is only offered before home games during the regular season, so they are limited in nature and you may want to purchase tickets well in advance.

Best Times to Visit
