Visiting Citi Field With Kids

Baseball season has officially started and that means our favorite hometown heroes are back. Catching a game with my boys is one of our favorite things to do during the Spring and Summer. Citi Field, home to the New York Mets, is an incredibly kid-friendly stadium and offers a number of great amenities in the way of food, fun, and activities. 

Citi Field is located in Flushing and is easily accessible via the 7 train (it has its own stop!). Upon arriving you will be greeted by the famous home run apple that lived at Shea Stadium for many, many years. Here are some other things to experience at Citi Field with kids.

Citi Field Food

I'm a Mets fan through and through, but in all honesty I go to Citi Field for the food. There are so many food options that would suit any appetite! Kids will enjoy the usual hot dogs, popcorn, and pretzels, or kids' meals at section 121 for $7, but why not step it up with a visit to Shake Shack for burgers, Papa Rosso or Two Boots for pizza, or Fuku for chicken sandwiches? New for 2018 are Lil Sweet Chick where you can get chicken and waffles, Baked Cheese Haus for bratwurst, and Chomp Donut Co., for mini donuts. You can also grab nachos, steak sandwiches, and kosher and gluten-free snacks. Pretty much goes without saying, but make sure to come hungry!

Citi Field's Good Humor Fan Fest

You can work up an appetite or work off some of the delicious food you're sure to indulge in at the Good Humor Fan Fest. Here kids can snap a photo with Mr. and Mrs. Met, try their hands at batting practice and run some mini-bases, and test their pitching skills at a dunk tank. All of these activities are open until the middle of the 7th inning, so you can take a break and explore if your little ones start to get antsy. All of the attractions are free with your ticket.
