Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Go to the pre-game party in the Fan Plaza. Prior to each game, the Atlanta Braves host a pep rally in the Fan Plaza located directly behind the scoreboard in center field. The pep rally includes live music from the drum line, cheerleaders and special giveaways.

Step2

Visit Tooner Field. Located on the lower level under the right field stands, Tooner Field is a special area designed for kids. Inside Tooner Field, you will find cartoon characters and interactive games with Cartoon Network characters.

Step3

Play Games at Scouts Alley, located on the lower level under the left field seats. Here, youngsters and adults can test their baseball skills with interactive baseball games. You can test the speed of your pitch, play home run derby, and take your cuts in a simulated batting cage.

Step4

Head up to the top of the left field bleachers to hang out at Sky Field where kids have the chance to run on an artificial base path at the top of the stadium. Don't worry parents, if you get hot, there is a misting machine to cool you off on those hot summer days while the kids are playing. If the Braves hit a home run, look up, because fireworks will shoot up from the giant soda bottle.

Step5

Run the bases. After every Sunday afternoon game, line up at the bottom of the ramps on the first base side of the lower level close to the end of the game. After the game, kids are invited to come down on to Turner Field and run the bases. Parents, don't forget to bring the camera to capture this moment.
