The Atlanta Braves

There’s a pretty interactive drum line/skit routine in the plaza before games. The chop team (quasi cheerleaders) are also out in the plaza before games. Both are excellent with kids. There’s a giant slide now that’s probably 2/3 stories high that kids seem to like that’s also right across from the main gate. There are water fountains that some kids play in (downside, your kid will be soaked).

The giant turf area always has kids playing catch or sometimes wiffle ball games will break out.

There’s a candy store, ice cream store, mizuno store full of baseball gear, and a store called Baseballism with a lot of baseball themed (heavy Sandlot) clothes/socks/hats.

They do open gates for BP but that will make for a long time inside the stadium between BP and game. Best bet for autographs is between the Braves dugout and the RF line. Swanson is great with signing, everyone else pretty hit or miss. I wouldn’t center the experience on autographs, tough to get a good spot/predict.

There’s a store down on the first base side of the main course that sells in-game baseballs that have been thrown out with a barcode of what happened (so-so singled to drive in so-so, etc) and other in-game items that gets add to as the game goes if you want a game specific souvenir. Won’t be cheap though.

Slap on some sunscreen, grab a terrapin and enjoy the park man. You’ll have a blast.

In addition to all this, there’s a jungle gym/obstacle course/zip line for kids behind the Chop House in the concourse in right field. So depending on whether you think that’s fun or hell to deal with, you’ll either want to head there early or avoid that area altogether so the little man gets no ideas.

Taking my 7 yr old to his 1st Braves game vs. the Nationals on Sept 7th. I haven’t been to the new stadium yet and will also have my wife and 2 yr old daughter. Any suggestions of kid-friendly things to do around the stadium? Any pointers about the stadium itself? Can we get in to watch BP? Best way to get autographs, if possible? Want to try to make this trip memorable for my son. Appreciate it! Go Braves!
