"Great Family Park"
One of my favorite ball parks as an adult is also a fantastic ball park for kids. With slides, a build a bear workshop, the huge Coke bottle and baseball glove, a mini park and a view of the bay. I love just walking around the park before games. As with all major league parks, parking and food can get quite spendy so be prepared!! I would recommend taking the BART to avoid parking fees. Everything we have had to eat there has been fantabulous...especially the garlic fries. Now that the Giants are world champions I would expect tickect prices and seat availability to be harder to find a good deal. GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!

"take me out to the ballgame"
Go giants! Oh and yes, this is a nice stadium. Keep in mind nice does not mean an inexpensive outing. I think fries are up to $7! There is also a nice little kid playground outside slightly north of the stadium too if you need a break from the game or the sports fans:)

"Best Ballpark"
We love seeing the Giants play. The stadium is beautiful, and there isn't a bad seat in the stands. We've been up in the view reserved and down in the lower box and have always been able to see all the action.
This is a very family friendly park. We took our kids there last summer and they had a blast on the giant slides. The staff at the slides were very patient and helpful as my nervous daughters decided which one to go on (large or small). The attendant at the bottom of one of the slides even volunteered to take a picture of us. I thought that was really sweet.
We went on Father's Day and after the game, children and their dads got a chance to go down on the field and run the bases. That was such a thrill for my husband (and my girls thought it was fun, too!).

"Go Giants!"
I wasn't really a baseball fan until I had my son. We try to catch a game at the park at least a couple of times a season. I love the views from the top decks. It's pretty relaxing. The kid area is great for those tots who can't sit through all the innings. Even walking behind the bleacher section, and ringing the bell on the cable car parked out there is fun.
Oh, and who doesn't love a park that serves Ghiradelli ice cream sundaes?
Sign up as a fan through the Giants website and you may get some emails with coupons. We even got a good deal for club level seats last summer.

"SF Giants in the summertime"
You can't beat a SF Giants game in the summertime!
We took our 3 1/2 yr. old and our 6 month old to a Thur. noon game in Oct. and we all had a blast. We knew we weren't going to be sitting very long and one of us was always up, going to the giant slide (they have two, one for bigger kids and one for smaller kids), hitting the ball and running the bases in the kiddie baseball park, as well as checking out the gift shop. We passed on the build-a-bear workshop, but a great idea for them to have that there. If you go with your baby, do not buy a ticket in the bleachers > no shade.
Luckily it wasn't crowded and we found seats in the shade that were great.
You know what to expect to pay for food and treats if you are an avid baseball fan, so be prepared with your dinero. Lots of fun places inside the park to take memorable pictures of your kids...the cablecar, slide, kid baseball diamond, ice cream cart, and the bridge walk to the stadium. We also enjoyed the walk from the parking area through China Basin Park with it's long grassy area. We play red light/green light or just a fun game of eye-spy. A beautiful view of the water and the stadium and a 'kodak-moment' spot as well.

"Not the best ballpark for families"
This baseball park has some advantages for families. It has a build-a-bear workshop, a giant slide and a giant baseball glove with only 4 fingers that kids will marvel at. However, the fans can get too fanatical and there is free flowing alcohol everywhere. Perhaps it is just the section we sat in but we felt that the attitude of some of the fans was inappropriate for a family atmosphere. While we were there a man in a Dodgers shirt was booed so loudly that we couldn't concentrate on what was going on in the game. I didn't feel like this was a good example to show good sportsmanship to my four year old. He loves baseball but the amount of drunken fans there made the experience less than enjoyable.

"Worth the cost"
We visited San Francisco and found our home team playing at AT&T Park against the Giants, so we bought tickets. We found ourselves with "Standing Room Only" tickets to a sellout which was a bit odd. But there was plenty of room to stand (or sit) and we had an excellent view.
The stadium has a nice play area for the kids, and a Build-a-Lu-Seal (Build-a-Bear) in the park. Plus, it has great views of the bay/harbor.
Normal for SF, parking was a bit high -- $30 where we parked.

"Gotta see a Giants game "
I'm not particularly a baseball fanatic, but watching a game at AT&T park is one of my favorite things to do. AT&T Park is right on the bay and if you catch a night game, you can watch the sunset over the water. Absolutely stunning.
We took my son here when he was 1.5 years old and he loved all the lights and big screen shots of "ball!" Out in left field,you'll see the huge Coca-Cola bottle and glove. There are actually 4 slides inslde the Coke bottle that slide into "home plate" You can also climb up the baseball glove.
Fun for teenagers, who love the excitement. It's especially fun especially if there's a homerun hit out into the water. During the days of Barry Bonds, folks would wait in the water riding kayaks or boats to catch a homerun shot.
Food! Don't miss out on the garlic fries from Gordon Biersch. Simply deadly, but you'll be fighting over the last one. My son had his first chocolate chip cookie here at 18 months and fell in love.
San Francisco gets cold, so be sure to bring lots of warm clothing and blankets. I've been to games wearing a ski jacket, wool hat, mittens and my fingers were still ice, ice... baby cold.

"Fun with the Family"
No other stadium in the world has these views—the San Francisco Bay, the Bay Bridge, and the city skyline. Some right-field home run balls actually end up with the fishes. Kids love the Coca-Cola Fan Lot, an interactive play area with slides, a mini ballpark, autograph rubbings, and the world’s largest baseball glove and Coke bottle.
Along the waterfront from right to center field, you can line up at portholes to watch games at no charge. As few parking spots are available on this South-of-Market site, ferries drop people off right at the park. CalTrain arrives from South Bay cities a block away, and BART is nearby. In the city’s tradition of the best food on the planet, the food vendors in the stadium sell everything from cappuccinos to gourmet burritos, cheesecake to chili.
Take the Insiders’ Tour to see the dugout, clubhouse, field, batting cages, the press box, and more (415–972–1800; tickets are $$ adults, $ ages 12 and under; ask about the doubleheader tour including a bay cruise). Next to the ball park and open every day, in Barry Bonds Junior Giants Field is a mini baseball field and nearby, the Giants Dugout store, Amici’s East Coast Pizzeria, and ice cream treats at the Marble Slab Creamery.

"Not just a ball park"
Most people don't know this, but Pacific Bell Park is more than just the home of the San Francisco Giants. Even during the off-season, there are plenty of things to do.
At the rear of the park is the Coca Cola playground, complete with a coke-bottle slide and mini-baseball diamond. Admission is usually free, unless a game is playing. The playground is open during games - although it can get crowded. They often have special events back there, too.
You can also tour the baseball stadium everyday for $10. Tours include locker rooms, players areas, and a visit to the field. Great for a baseball enthusiast.
Finally, there is a dugout store and restaurant - - both accessible without tickets to the game. There is also a promenade around back where you can catch a free glimpse of the game and enjoy a nice waterside stroll. Sometimes, there is even a band playing out back!
