We were lucky enough to take the boys to a baseball game up at Camden Yards last week to watch the O's play the Mariners. (One kid's team vs. the other's. It got very heated!) Some info before you head up to Baltimore to catch a game.
- Kids 2 and older need a ticket BUT if you buy your tickets through the Kids Cheer Free program you can get up to two free upper decker tickets with each adult ticket purchased. This works for kids ages nine and under, and they do limit the number so don't wait until day of.
- The Hi-Chew Kids Corner is a free playground, ski ball, and throwing games area. There is a concession stand right behind it that has "kid food". There is seating and a tv so that adults won't miss any of the game while your kids take a break.
- Family Sundays are every weekend. These are day games where kids can get autographs, take photos with the mascot, listen to live music, and more. On Sundays, kids ages 4-12 can run the bases after the game.
- If you sit in sections 76-82 you'll be sitting in the Kids Home Run Porch. Here you'll get sprayed by the bird with water and have a kid friendly viewing area.
- If you get there early or need to stretch your legs, take a walk around the park and checkout the many plaques and statues. There is a ton of history at this park.
- If you seriously love baseball, consider getting to the park area early in the day. Walk ten minutes from the park and visit the Babe Ruth Museum. You'll want to spend about an hour here. The museum has information on the history of Maryland sports and is in Babe Ruth's actual house. It's cool for any sports fan.
- Pre-purchase your parking online. This will save you almost $20.
- My FAVORITE tip, and this is the only park that I've ever seen this in, is that you can bring in snacks and sealed drinks here. Pack a whole dinner and a sealed drink and you can bring it in right with you. This rule was made for moms.
Camden Yards is an absolutely beautiful stadium and we loved our visit. I'm not the biggest sports fan, but I love the history behind the park and the ties it has to the city. Check out a game next time you're in Baltimore!
