Root, Root, Root For Family Fun: Batter Up For An Experience At The Cubs Game

Chicago Cubs games at Wrigley Field have always been a Chicago classic, but Family Sundays make the experience even more special for kids. So if you’re planning to make it to a Cubs game this summer, aiming for Sundays is usually the most family-friendly Wrigley experience.

For kids, it’s not just about watching baseball, it’s about being part of the action. 

One of the exciting activities for kids on Sundays is running the bases after select day games, of course, weather permitting. 

Now, the next big thought in a parent’s mind is how to create these memories while keeping a budget in mind.  With a little planning, you can enjoy all of the fun without spending a fortune.

Plan Ahead For Tickets

Sundays may not be the best time budget-wise.  So if running bases isn’t a top to-do for your family, looking for promotions, family packages, and special offers during the week can sometimes help you save.

Pack Smart

Let’s avoid unnecessary purchases at the game.  Before heading out, check the stadium’s bag policies and plan accordingly. Pack approved items like sunscreen and sweatshirts for any changes in weather.  These items will probably cost a bit more at the ballpark.

Set A Snack Budget

Stadium treats are part of the fun, but they can add up quickly with kids. Consider deciding ahead of time what snacks or treats everyone gets so the day stays within budget. And remember, discussing this with the children before game-time is a smart idea so that everyone is on the same page.

Make It About The Experience

You don’t need the most expensive seats to have a great time. Kids often remember the excitement, the cheering, and being together more than where they sat.

Now that we’ve discussed a friendly budget, let’s dive into some tips for a stress-free family game. 

A little preparation can make your day much smoother.  Be sure to arrive early so the kids can take in the sights without feeling rushed. 

And parents, be sure to plan for bathroom and snack breaks.

Knowing ahead of time that you’ll probably be up and down with the kids can help you realize you may not be watching the entire game.  Save that for a date-night😉

Whether your child is a future baseball player or just loves a fun day out, a Cubs game at Wrigley Field is a summer memory waiting to happen. 

Grab the jerseys, bring the family, and get ready for a day full of laughs, cheers, and memories that last long after the final inning.
