Fan Zone

Sure, we’d love our kids to sit still for nine innings, but when they need to burn off some energy, the Fan Zone playground and wiffle ball field are the destinations of choice. The Fan Zone is located on the Terrace Level along the west side of the ballpark. (Some areas may be restricted or closed for social distancing purposes.)
 
The new TriHealth Family Zone on the View Level includes an interactive space with appearances by Reds mascots, activities and special family-focused concessions. A second Pampers Nursing Suite and a TriHealth Sensory Room for fans with autism is also available in the Family Zone.

The Pampers Nursing Suite, one of the first at a MLB stadium, makes it easier to bring even the littlest Cincinnati Reds fans to games. The home-like suite is stocked with comfy rocking chairs, a private bathroom, changing stations, a kitchenette, a refrigerator and lockers for storage. Plus, flat-screen TVs mean mom won’t miss a minute of the game. A second nursing suite is now available in the new TriHealth Family Zone on the View Level.

Come down early to visit the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame & Museum, or let the kids burn off some steam on the creative playgrounds of Smale Riverfront Park. After the game, hang out at The Banks for a local brew at Moerlein Lager House or late-night tacos at Jefferson Social.

Whether it’s craft or draft, Great American Ball Park has you covered. Twenty self-serve, pay-by-the-ounce draft beer stations make it easy to grab a quick Bud. Fancy something craftier? Head to the Reds Brewery District Bar, an 85-foot bar that pours 60 taps of local and craft favorites. Or grab a pint and stay a while at The Bootleggers Bar, a speakeasy-themed hangout with craft and domestic selections.

OK, you can’t bring your own beer, but you can bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages into the stadium as long as bottles are plastic and everything is sealed. Soft-sided coolers are allowed in the ballpark, as long as they do not exceed 16” x 16” x 8”.

In addition to ballpark staples like hot dogs and nachos, Great American Ball Park also dishes up hometown favorites like LaRosa’s pizza, Skyline Chili coneys, Frisch’s Big Boy hamburgers and Graeter's ice cream.
