Milwaukee Brewers Games 2026: A Family Guide

Brewers Play Ball Weekend features baseball activities for children led by Brewers alumni, high school players, & baseball coaches

American Family Field gives families plenty to do beyond watching baseball: explore the playgrounds, cheer for the Racing Sausages and leave time for a snack. A little planning helps keep the day manageable, especially with younger children.

2026 planning note: The regular season has ended. Regular-season discounts and Sunday activities below should not be assumed to apply to postseason games. Check the event details before buying tickets.

The best seats for your family

Start with your budget, your children’s ages and how often you expect to leave your seats. Loge Level seats offer an elevated view; the Terrace Level is worth comparing for a lower-cost outing. Check the ticket’s exact section and included amenities before paying: seats on the 200 level are not Club Level seats.

For regular-season visits, the Brewers list alcohol-free family seating in Sections 106, 309 and 417, with Opening Day, postseason and special-event exclusions. Section 106 is convenient for the right-field playground. Review the official ballpark guide before choosing a section.

Shade depends on the seat, time of day and roof position. The retractable roof helps with Wisconsin weather, but you still need a plan for the walk to the stadium.

Ticket deals that save money

For regular-season family offers, start with the Brewers’ official Family Sundays page. Check eligible games, included food or parking, seating and the final price before buying. Older Sunday Fun-Day package descriptions should not be treated as current offers.

For the 2026 regular season, high school and college student tickets were $12 for eligible Monday–Friday games, with exclusions and seat availability. Our Brewers student ticket guide explains where to check the offer.

Other offers have included Miller High Life Mondays, Wisconsin First Fridays and discounts for children and seniors. Check the official ticket deals for eligible dates, seating restrictions and the total at checkout. Group and season-ticket pricing also varies; request a quote for your group rather than budgeting from an old advertised minimum.

Activities that engage kids

The Glove Playground presented by Aurora Health Care, near the right-field corner on the Field Level, offers interactive baseball activities and photo stops. This is the current name of the area previously called the UScellular Power Playground.

Younger children can also explore the Aurora Children’s Health Kids Zone on the Terrace Level. Build in time for a break instead of trying to stay in your seats for every inning.

Bernie’s Slide Experience is a separate paid experience before select games. Check age rules, availability and the price for your date; a game ticket is also required.

Regular-season Family Sundays have included autograph opportunities and Kids Run the Bases. Confirm the day’s activities and eligibility rather than promising them for every Sunday or postseason game.

Save a little attention for the Famous Racing Sausages in the sixth inning. Choosing a favorite sausage gives even the youngest fans something easy to cheer for.

Food experiences worth the splurge

The Alley Food Truck Park on the left-field Loge Level is worth exploring if your family wants something beyond the usual hot dogs and popcorn. Vendors and menus change, so check what is available on your game day.

Before ordering, compare portions and prices at nearby stands. An old 2025 menu or social-media photo may no longer match the current offerings. The Brewers’ concourse map helps you plan food stops without wandering the entire stadium.

J. Leinenkugel’s Barrel Yard combines a restaurant with a working brewery overlooking left field. It can be a fun sit-down option; check game-day access and reservations before building your plans around a table.

For food allergies or dietary restrictions, ask the concession staff about ingredients and preparation. Packing personal-size snacks is another option. Review the current carry-in rules before leaving home.

The Alley Food Truck Park on the left-field Loge Level offers alternatives to traditional ballpark concessions; vendors and menus change.

Getting there

Driving can be convenient for North Shore families, especially if you want to tailgate. Allow extra time for game traffic and I-94 construction; a fixed 35–45 minute estimate will not work for every departure point or game.

Buy parking for your specific game and follow the activation instructions after arriving. The Brewers use license-plate recognition, so having a pass in your phone does not replace the onsite activation step. Check official parking instructions and postseason options before you go.

A restaurant shuttle can be a useful alternative. Our Brewers shuttle guide helps you compare operators. Confirm children’s eligibility, purchase requirements, departure times and the last return trip directly with the business.

Uber and Lyft use the designated rideshare area in the Molitor Lot. Check the app for a live fare and allow for a wait after a busy game; there is no dependable flat price for every trip.

Game day timing

Work backward from the first pitch listed on your ticket. Check gate and lot opening times for that game, then leave enough time for traffic, security, a bathroom stop and a lap around the concourse. Postseason timings can differ from the usual regular-season routine.

If you are bringing young children, choose a start time that works with their meals and bedtime. Give yourself permission to leave early if everyone has had enough.

Theme nights can add something special, but many souvenirs require a designated ticket package. Browse our Brewers theme-night guide and read the official offer before buying; the old 2025 Star Wars, Pokémon and Harry Potter dates are not a current calendar.

Safety and practical considerations

Keep track of the nearest Guest Relations location and ask staff about stroller parking, nursing spaces or sensory accommodations. Choose a meeting point in case your group gets separated.

Watch for balls and bats whenever players are on the field, including batting practice. Protective netting does not remove every risk.

Concessions and shops are cashless. Bring a card or mobile payment method, and review the bag and carry-in policy before packing. Small non-clear bags are permitted within the stated size limit; it is not a clear-bags-only rule. Food and drink limits, diaper-bag exceptions and medical exceptions are listed on the official page.

Make the day your own

A great family game does not require doing everything. Pick one or two activities, leave time for the Racing Sausages and choose seats and transportation that fit your crew. For a broader look at the ballpark, read our first-time visitor guide to American Family Field.
