Packers Games and Experiences: A 2026-2027 Guide

Packers football camps are one way to get up close with players

This updated 2026–2027 guide covers the Packers home schedule, Lambeau Field policies, parking, stadium tours, the Packers Hall of Fame, Titletown, family attractions and places to stay.

Planning a Packers Game With Kids

Everyone Needs a Ticket

Every person entering Lambeau Field on game day needs a ticket, including babies and toddlers. Packers tickets are mobile, so add them to your phone’s digital wallet before arriving and make sure your phone is fully charged.

Tickets purchased through the Packers’ official marketplace may vary significantly in price based on the opponent, date and seat location. Use the Packers ticket page or the team’s authorized Ticketmaster marketplace to reduce the risk of purchasing invalid tickets.

Lambeau Field Seating

Much of Lambeau Field has aluminum bleacher seating without backs. An approved portable stadium seat can make a major difference, especially for children, but it may not exceed 18 inches wide.

Blankets are also allowed when carried loosely. For winter games, bring something insulating to place beneath your feet because the concrete and metal seating areas become extremely cold.

Lambeau Field Bag Policy

Lambeau Field follows the NFL clear-bag policy. Permitted bags generally include:

• Clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags no larger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches

• One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags

• Small clutch bags no larger than 4.5 by 6.5 inches

Backpacks, diaper bags, coolers, large purses, strollers, umbrellas, outside food and beverages are generally prohibited. Medical equipment may be permitted after inspection.

Review the current Lambeau Field carry-in policy before leaving home, particularly if you need to bring medication, a breast pump or other medical supplies.

Family and Accessibility Amenities

Lambeau Field offers several services that can make game day easier for families:

• Family restrooms and changing tables throughout the stadium

• Nursing rooms in the Atrium and club-level areas

• Lost-person wristbands available through Guest Services

• Sensory bags and noise-canceling headphones available for checkout

• A drug- and alcohol-free seating area known as Section Yellow near Section 112

• Wheelchair assistance and accessible seating options

• Cash-to-card conversion stations in the cashless stadium

New for the 2026 season, the Packers and KultureCity are also providing a Sensory Activation Vehicle inside the Lambeau Field Atrium beginning with the August 28 preseason game. The space gives guests an opportunity to step away from the noise and crowds to reset.

Sensory bags are available in limited quantities at the Atrium Guest Services desk, game-day Guest Services near Sections 109 and 353, and premium-level concierge desks. Families can review the complete list of Lambeau Field accessibility services before the game.

Preparing for Green Bay Weather

September games can feel like summer, while December and January games may bring snow, strong winds and temperatures well below freezing. Check the forecast shortly before leaving because conditions can change quickly.

What to Wear for a Cold Packers Game

Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add one or more insulating layers and finish with a wind-resistant and water-resistant outer shell.

Prioritize:

• Insulated, waterproof boots

• Wool or thermal socks

• Mittens rather than thin gloves

• A warm hat that covers the ears

• A neck gaiter or face covering

• Disposable hand and foot warmers

• Loose layers that do not restrict circulation

A piece of cardboard, folded newspaper or insulating pad beneath your boots can reduce the cold transferred from the concrete. Pack extra layers for children even if they insist they will not need them.

Parking and Transportation

Official Lambeau Field Parking

The parking lots surrounding Lambeau Field are primarily sold out to season parking-pass holders. Limited first-come, first-served accessible parking is available in Lots 4 and 7 for $50 using cashless payment.

PMI also offers reservable individual-game parking in nearby lots. Check TicketStar or call 800-895-0071 for current availability.

Neighborhood Parking

Many Green Bay residents and businesses sell spaces in yards, driveways and private lots on game days. Prices and walking distances vary considerably.

Free street parking may be available in residential areas within walking distance, but pay close attention to posted restrictions, temporary signs, snow emergencies and blocked driveways.

Free Green Bay Metro Game-Day Buses

Green Bay Metro operates free game-day routes from several areas of the city. The service can eliminate the challenge of parking near Lambeau Field and navigating postgame traffic.

Check the city’s 2026 Packers game-day routes and schedules for boarding locations and departure times. Game-day routes do not operate for Family Night.

Arrival Time

Plan to reach the Lambeau Field neighborhood several hours before kickoff. That gives your family time to park, walk through Titletown, see the tailgating scene, clear security and find your seats without rushing.

Traffic after the game is unavoidable. Consider staying for a while after the final whistle, visiting the Pro Shop when accessible or walking through the neighborhood before returning to your vehicle.

Packers Hall of Fame and Lambeau Field Tours

A stadium tour and Hall of Fame visit can be easier with younger children than a full game—and the experiences are available throughout most of the year.

Lambeau Field Stadium Tours

The Classic Stadium Tour lasts approximately one hour and includes a premium seating area, the players’ tunnel and field level, subject to stadium operations.

Longer tour options add more of the stadium:

• Champions Tour: Approximately 90 minutes

• Legendary Tour: Approximately two hours

• Alumni Tour: A Classic-style route with stories and perspective from a former Packers player

Tour routes can change because of weather, construction, practices and stadium events. Tours are not offered on Packers home game days, and tickets are generally released about 30 days in advance.

Packers Hall of Fame

The two-level Packers Hall of Fame features approximately 15,000 square feet of exhibits celebrating the team’s history, championship seasons, players and relationship with its fans.

Families can see the Packers’ Lombardi trophies, explore interactive exhibits and follow the team’s history from its earliest seasons through today. Plan approximately one to two hours, depending on your children’s interest level.

Regular hours are generally:

• Monday through Saturday: 9 a.m.–6 p.m.

• Sunday: 10 a.m.–5 p.m.

Hours change on home-game weekends, holidays and special-event days. Check the Hall of Fame and tour calendar before visiting.

Titletown District Family Activities

Titletown sits immediately west of Lambeau Field and is worth visiting even without game tickets.

Free outdoor features include a football field, football-themed playground, timed 40-yard dash and spaces for games and family activities.

Seasonal offerings include:

• Ice skating at Hy-Vee Plaza

• Tubing on Ariens Hill

• Summer concerts and fitness programs

• Outdoor games and community events

• Packers game-day celebrations

On home game days, Titletown typically hosts live music, food and free activities beginning several hours before kickoff. Special-event schedules vary, so check the Titletown calendar before traveling.

Green Bay Family Attractions

Bay Beach Amusement Park

Bay Beach Amusement Park is one of Wisconsin’s best family bargains. Admission and standard parking are free, while ride tickets cost 25 cents each. Individual rides require between one and four tickets.

The adjoining Adventure Park offers ziplining, a ropes course, climbing activities and a Kids Kourse for younger visitors. Age, height and weight requirements vary, so review the activity rules before purchasing tickets.

Best for Walking to Lambeau Field

Our Pick: Lodge Kohler sits in Titletown immediately west of Lambeau Field. Its location is difficult to beat for families who want to park once and walk to the game, restaurants and Titletown activities.

SpringHill Suites Green Bay provides suite-style accommodations near the stadium district and can be convenient for families wanting additional sleeping and living space.

Best for an Indoor-Waterpark Weekend

Tundra Lodge can turn the trip into a full family weekend with its indoor waterpark. Confirm the current waterpark schedule and whether admission is included with your room before booking.

Best for Downtown Green Bay

Hotel Northland provides a historic downtown setting near restaurants and the Fox River.

Best Near the Airport

Oneida Hotel is near Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport and can work well for families flying into Green Bay or looking beyond the immediate stadium neighborhood.

Appleton as a Backup Plan

When Green Bay hotels are sold out or unusually expensive, Appleton can provide more options approximately 30 miles southwest of Lambeau Field.

Hilton Appleton Paper Valley offers a downtown Appleton base near restaurants and other Fox Valley attractions. Build extra time into the drive on game day because traffic approaching Green Bay can be heavy.

Final Packers Game-Day Tips

Download tickets before reaching the stadium. Cell service can become congested as thousands of fans arrive.

Pack lighter than you think you need to. Every extra item must pass through security and be carried throughout the game.

For cold games, prioritize your children’s boots, hands and faces. A warm coat alone is not enough for several hours on cold concrete and metal.

Most importantly, leave time to enjoy the neighborhood. Watching families tailgate in front yards, walking through Titletown and seeing Lambeau Field appear above the houses are essential parts of the Packers experience—not just transportation details on the way to the game.
