The best seats for your family

Sunday games offer the best family value and experience, with the Sunday Fun-Day Bundle at just $81 providing four tickets, food, drinks, and parking for a complete family outing.

Club Infield Box (Sections 216-227) represents the sweet spot for families, offering elevated infield views with private lounge access and upgraded concessions. These mid-range premium seats provide excellent sight lines while maintaining reasonable pricing compared to Diamond Box options.

For budget-conscious families, Loge Level Infield (Sections 210-227) delivers outstanding value with complete field views and engaging atmosphere that keeps 11-14 year olds interested. The Terrace Box (Sections 411-422) offers the most economical option with panoramic stadium views, perfect for first-time visitors wanting to experience the full ballpark atmosphere.

Alcohol-free family sections (217, 238, and 417) provide family-friendly environments for families, with NA beer and mocktail options available at the stadium. First-base side sections (106-115, 206-215, 404-420) offer crucial sun protection during day games. The stadium's retractable roof eliminates weather concerns, making American Family Field uniquely reliable for family planning.

Ticket deals that save money

The Sunday Fun-Day Bundle at $65 represents exceptional value, including four Terrace Outfield tickets, four hot dogs, four sodas, and general parking for a complete family experience. This package can accommodate up to 12 total people, making it perfect for extended family outings.

Miller High Life Mondays: on Monday home games, all Terrace Infield and Outfield tickets are just $7.50 and Loge Bleacher tickets are $14.50, courtesy of Miller High Life. Wisconsin First Fridays provide 50% off tickets for state residents. Youth ages 14 and under receive 50% off weekday afternoon games, and students get $10 tickets for all weekday games.

For families planning multiple visits, 20-game season plans start at reasonable prices and include priority playoff access, exclusive events, and significant parking discounts. Group tickets for 20+ people start at just $6 each, making them worthwhile for large family gatherings or neighborhood groups.

Activities that engage kids

UScellular Power Playground in right field provides the primary attraction for this age group, featuring batting cages, pitching cages, and Bernie's slide replica that appeal to teens' competitive instincts. The facility operates from gates opening through game end, allowing flexible timing for family visits.

Bernie's Slide Experience offers the ultimate splurge activity, with paid access ($150-175) allowing up to five rides down the famous slide. While expensive, this unique experience creates lasting memories for special occasions or birthday celebrations.

Sunday base running after games allows kids 14 and under to run the actual bases, providing an authentic player experience that consistently ranks as families' favorite activity. Autograph Sundays from 11:50 AM-12:15 PM offer structured opportunities for player interactions without the chaos of general autograph hunting.

The Famous Racing Sausages during the 6th inning represent a beloved tradition that engages teens through its quirky characters and competitive element. Bernie Brewer's various appearances throughout games provide photo opportunities and entertainment during slower baseball moments.

Food experiences worth the splurge

The Alley Food Truck Park debuted in 2025 as the stadium's premier dining destination, featuring artisanal options like birria tacos ($11.49), parmesan truffle fries ($9.00), and Baron's Gelato served in mini-Brewers caps. The left field Loge Level location includes gaming areas with Brewers Jenga and arcade games, creating a complete entertainment experience.

For budget-conscious families, the 414 Menu provides exceptional value with junior hot dogs, nachos, Cracker Jack, and sodas for just $4 each. This allows families to sample multiple items without breaking the budget, while the new 2025 specialty items like the Bases Loaded Potato Dog offer Instagram-worthy options that appeal to teens.

J. Leinenkugel's Barrel Yard represents the premium dining experience, with field-view window tables, craft beer brewed on-site, and elevated ballpark fare. While expensive, the working brewery atmosphere and outdoor patio create a unique experience for special occasions.

The stadium's gluten-free accommodations include dedicated menus at Guest Relations and specialty vendors like Anytime Arepa, ensuring families with dietary restrictions can enjoy the full ballpark experience. Outside food policy allows sealed bottles and personal-size items, providing additional budget flexibility.

The new space in left field features offerings from Chucho's Red Tacos, Hidden Kitchen MKE, Nadi Plates and Baron’s Gelato

Getting there

Driving remains the most practical option for North Shore families, with the 35-45 minute journey via I-43 South to I-94 West providing reliable timing and maximum flexibility. Advance parking purchases save $10-20 while guaranteeing spots, with Molitor Lot offering the best value for families willing to walk.

Leave by 4:00 PM for evening games to account for traffic and arrive by 5:30 PM for pre-game activities. Sunday games provide the most family-friendly scheduling, with 1:10 PM starts allowing comfortable morning departures and evening returns.

The discontinued Brewers Line eliminated direct public transportation, making bar shuttles the primary alternative. Saz's State House offers family-friendly shuttle service starting 1.5 hours before games, requiring only food/drink purchases rather than minimum spending requirements.

Rideshare costs range from $25-40 each way, with surge pricing during popular games potentially doubling costs. The new 2025 rideshare lot location in Molitor Lot provides improved pickup experiences but requires walking from Home Plate Gate.

Game day timing

Sunday games offer the optimal family experience, with gates opening 90 minutes before first pitch allowing extensive exploration time. The recommended schedule includes arriving 2.5 hours before game time, spending 60 minutes exploring amenities, and positioning for post-game base running.

Weekday evening games work well for families with flexible schedules, featuring smaller crowds, easier navigation, and better player interaction opportunities. The reduced congestion allows more relaxed exploration of the stadium's various attractions.

Theme nights throughout the season provide additional entertainment value, with Star Wars Night (May 16), Pokémon Go Day (July 25), and Harry Potter Night (September 26) specifically appealing to the 11-14 age demographic. These events combine exclusive giveaways with enhanced entertainment programming.

Safety and practical considerations

American Family Field's enhanced safety features include facial authentication entry systems, comprehensive Guest Relations locations (Sections 116, 221, 419), and Aurora Health Care staffed first aid stations. The stroller policy allows concourse access with free parking near the Kids Zone, while nursing suites provide privacy for families with younger children.

Flying ball awareness remains crucial, particularly in sections 108-120 along the first base line. The stadium's protective netting extends to the dugouts, but families should remain vigilant during batting practice and foul ball situations.

Cashless operations require credit/debit cards or mobile payments, with free cash-to-card conversion kiosks available at three locations. The clear bag policy limits outside items but allows 32-ounce sealed bottles and personal food items for budget-conscious families.

Conclusion

The retractable roof, convenient parking, and comprehensive family services eliminate common ballpark frustrations, while special events and interactive opportunities ensure kids remain engaged throughout the visit. For families planning their first visit or seeking to optimize their game day experience, American Family Field represents one of MLB's premier family destinations.
