Take Me Out to the Ballgame: Best Padres Ticket Options for Families
Padres are back in season!
Looking for a fun, family-friendly outing in San Diego? A Padres game at Petco Park is hard to beat. With beautiful weather, great food, and activities for all ages, it’s an ideal way to spend a day together. Here are the top ticket options and experiences perfect for families:
Every Sunday home game is a hit with the little ones thanks to KidsFest at Gallagher Square. Before first pitch, families can enjoy bounce houses, face painting, balloon artists, and more—all included with your game ticket. It’s a great way to make the most of your day at the ballpark.
2. Theme Games
Themed nights are a fun twist on the traditional ballgame, offering special promotions and giveaways. Whether it’s Star Wars Night, Peanuts Day, or a cultural celebration, these games often include exclusive merchandise (with a special ticket package). Keep an eye on the schedule to snag a theme your family will love.
Want a more laid-back experience? Gallagher Square offers grassy lawn seating that’s perfect for families with younger kids who might want to move around. Bring a blanket and enjoy the game picnic-style—it’s a more affordable and relaxed way to watch.
If you’re planning a larger family outing or special celebration, group ticket packages can offer discounted rates and even unique on-field experiences like delivering the game ball or singing the National Anthem.
Bonus Tip:
Petco Park allows you to bring your own snacks and sealed water bottles, making it easier (and more affordable) for families with picky eaters or dietary needs. You can find full ballpark policies here.
No matter your crew’s size or age, there’s a Padres game experience that fits. Let the kids run, cheer, snack, and make memories—just don’t forget the sunscreen!
