Minor League Baseball Games are Fun for the Whole Family

Do you have a child who loves baseball? If so, taking in a local minor league baseball game is an affordable option for the entire family. It's a good day trip activity. Minor league baseball games are held in family friendly stadiums and are great for everyone, from grandma and grandpa, mom and dad, to all the kids. Because you get to see most of the baseball action up close, watching a live minor league game is great fun and best of all, it doesn't break the family budget. Most game tickets cost anywhere from $9 on up.

As a fan, you can almost reach out and touch the baseball players in the infield. Kids of all ages will delight in seeing line drives, spectacular catches, great pitching, close outs and maybe even some fantastic home runs. Wouldn't it be great to catch and take home a souvenir foul ball? Also, think of all the great treats you can eat - hotdogs, popcorn, peanuts, cracker jacks, ice cream and cotton candy. Any kid would love that!
