Batting Cage

Try out your swing on a simulated field. Take aim at targets, work on hand-eye coordination or just see how many pitches you can hit.

Running Challenge

Test your speed and sprint against the clock. Are you fast enough to make it on base before the throw gets there?

Concession Stand

Help baseball fans get their snacks before the game in this fun pretend-play concession stand. While you’re there, see if you can detect the familiar smells of popcorn, hot dogs and freshly cut grass!

Pitching Coach

Throw your best pitch and check the results monitor to see if your ball stayed in the strike zone.
