5. Stingray Tank at Tropicana Field. Home of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Nicknamed the "Rays Touch Tank", this 10,000 gallon tank just over the right field fence features live cownose rays. Fans are welcome into the expanse on game days, admission is gratuitous and they're allowed to feed them for $v if they so choose. The rays were defenseless in the nearby Tampa Bay waters and the exhibit is maintained by the Florida Aquarium. When a Tampa Bay Rays player hits a home run ball into the tank during a game, $5000 is given to charity; one-half to the Florida Aquarium and half to the player's favorite charity.

4. Sluggerrr'southward Mini Golf Course at Kauffman Stadium. Home of the Kansas City Royals.

The first feature of Kauffman Stadium that often comes to mind is the beautiful outfield fountains which accept been at that place for every bit long every bit I tin recollect. But Sluggerrr's Mini Golf Course was a neat improver when the Royals organization gave Kauffman Stadium a facelift five years agone. No, it isn't an 18 pigsty mini golf course simply we thought the five-pigsty kids putt putt area at Kauffman Stadium was as thoughtful every bit it gets. What other ballpark has this? This entire area of the stadium is an action packed area for children and is complete with a batting muzzle area, playground, carousel and arcade. For adults, at that place is the Kansas Urban center Royals Hall of Fame which is also onsite and in the outfield area.

3. The Beach/Sandbox at Petco Park. Home of the San Diego Padres.

Petco Park is one of those MLB ballparks that just doesn't get much press league broad. Merely if you have children and love baseball, consider sitting in the bleacher area in dead center field. The bleachers don't take backs to them and will really remind you of ampitheatre seating but your kids will dear you for information technology. That'south because this ballpark features a massive sandbox area where kids can play, build sandcastles and be field level with some of their favorite players. The ticket prices for this expanse won't pause the depository financial institution and it'south a fun day in the California sunday. Virtually as cool is the picnic/lawn seating area, also in centre field, where couples can bring their blankets and enjoy the game.

Equally you could have guessed, the Shea Bridge at Citi Field pays tribute to William A Shea and the former Shea Stadium, sometime habitation of the New York Mets where they played from 1964-2008. The bridge stands in right middle field and offers a beautiful panoramic of the entire ballpark when traveling through. In that location is a seating area in the vicinity known as the "Shea Span Terrace" but it's reserved for groups only. The bridge is also an excellent identify to stand to watch the game with your buddies.

The Renaissance has ever been an splendid hotel make but the Renaissance in downtown Toronto takes the cake. The entire hotel has been built into the Rogers Heart and beneath Toronto's CN Tower.
