Padres Games with the kids
Baseball games are a favorite summer pastime. Even if you aren’t really into sports, it is still fun to take in a game and cheer and sing. I try to go to at least one game every year.
Petco Park is a really nice stadium. I’ve sat in the box seats, right behind home, and in the nose bleed section and had a great time. The other day I went with a small child for the first time. She is my friend’s little sister and she is 5. It was hot. She wanted to sit on our laps. She got antsy. That was the first time I really appreciated that grassy play area on the back side of the stadium. We took her over there and she ran around. There were a lot of other kids over there for her to play with. There is a mini ball field for the kids to play baseball in. It’s great. You can watch the game in peace.
As for other Petco Park tips:
- It is hard to find parking for less than $20 so the trolley is a good choice.
- You can bring small unopened water, juice, milk bottles and food in soft-sided coolers into the stadium.
- You can bring blankets & towels, which are especially helpful if you plan to sit on the grass.
- Check the website for specials. There is often special giveaways or events or special pricing.
I am a San Diego native and permanent tourist. I love exploring and discovering fun things to see and do in this city.
