The Ultimate Guide to Taking Kids to A Baseball Game

The oft-asked question of baseball fan parents across America… “Does my kid need a ticket to the game?”

Well, believe it or not, the answer may vary depending on which ballpark you are headed to. There is no league-wide policy, so each stadium’s rule and enforcement level is a personal decision.

Besides just the question of whether you have to pay for a ticket, there are many other factors to successfully navigating your way to a baseball game with children. The more modern the ballpark, the more kid-friendly it tends to be.

Ask us anything about taking kids to games:

We are going to look at each team’s policy and features for kids individually, but first here are some general guidelines:

General Guidelines

Space Out If You Can

While some ballparks let 3-year-olds come in for free, typically if your kid is 2 and under 36 inches tall they don’t need a ticket. (all exceptions are below, but this is a general rule of thumb).

However, they will be expected to sit on your lap. For this reason, you should think about sitting in a less populated area of the ballpark.

If you are going to a sell-out game, there isn’t much you can do. However, for the average team on an average night, you can sit in the upper deck down the lines and find a sparse crowd. This means you can let your little guy sit in his own seat and give yourself a break.

As a baseball fan, I remember how annoying it could be to have out-of-control kids next to you throwing things, whining, etc. while you try to watch the game. Therefore, as a baseball fan with little kids, I am sensitive to the fact that not everyone around me is excited to be stuck next to kids.

So, I find it to be less stressful to space out when I can for my sanity and the sanity of other fans.

Grab an ID Bracelet

Many ballparks provide an ID bracelet at their Fan Accommodation booth that you can place on your child, in case they are lost. These include their name and seat number.

At the very least, another nice safety procedure is to put your kid’s ticket stub in their pocket so that if they are lost, someone will know where you are located.

Read the Stroller Policies

Most ballparks welcome strollers as long as they fold up and fit under your seat.

If you have a larger stroller, you can check it at the Fan Accommodations/Services booth upon entering the ballpark.

Look Out for Kid-Friendly Days

Several clubs have certain days/events where it would be even better to bring kids. For instance, many attractions that may normally cost extra like rides and games are free on Sunday. This is just an example, but there may be a certain day of the week that is more kid-friendly than another.

Reserve Parking Ahead of Time

Tell me if you’ve ever heard this question…

“Are we there yet!?”

Of course you have.

In fact, my 4-year-old always asks how long it takes to get places, with no concept of what my answer means.

Me: About 20 minutes.

Him: How long is 20 minutes?

Me: Just play with your toys.

So if you are headed to a ballgame, it makes a lot of sense to have your parking reserved ahead of time. If not, picture yourself sitting in downtown traffic with the scene pictured above happening in your back seat.

Not good.

Spot Hero is our recommended parking reservation system. I’ve used it many times to book parking ahead of time at a nearby lot/garage and I’m always impressed with how many options there are (including some affordable parking lots).

Now, let’s take a look at each team’s policy and the individual features for kids:

Arizona Diamondbacks – Chase Field
