First Phillies Game Certificate

First timer? Don't forget to commemorate that first ballpark trip! Kids 14 and under attending their first game at Citizens Bank Park can get a free certificate available at Guest Services on the Main Concourse (behind Section 122) and the Terrace Level (behind Section 318). 

The Yard at the Phillies Game

In addition to watching the game, there is so much for kids to see and do at Citizens Bank Park. The Yard is a must-visit destination with family-friendly activities for all to enjoy. Located in right field, this 13,000-square-foot interactive area is designed with kids in mind and offers a variety of exciting activities for the whole family.

Citizens Fan Field

One of the highlights of The Yard is the Citizens Phan Field, a mini-WIFFLE ball field that features a major-league-class dugout and padded outfield wall. With its AstroTurf-covered field that stretches 70-feet deep and unique mural of the city skyline, this authentic play area is designed to resemble the Phillies' big-league field. Kids will love feeling like real Phillies players as they take turns batting, pitching, and fielding in this miniature diamond.

Hatfield Phanatic Hot Dog Launcher

Another fun attraction at The Yard is the Hatfield Phanatic Hot Dog Launcher. Just like the Phanatic on dollar dog nights, kids can test their aim by aiming at targets on the wall and sending foam-frankfurters soaring. This activity is sure to be a hit with kids who love a little friendly competition.

Climb the Philly skyline at The Yard between innings.

Phanatic Climbing Wall

For those who love a challenge, The Yard features a 30-foot Phanatic Climbing Wall that gives fans (in harnesses) the chance to clamber around graphic depictions of Philadelphia's landmark buildings. 

Bullpen Speed Pitch

Fans can practice their pitches at the Bullpen Speed Pitch and measure their velocity with a radar gun, just like the pros. This is a great way for kids to hone their skills and get a taste of what it's like to play at the major-league level.

Ice Cream Bar

No visit to The Yard is complete without a stop at the Ice Cream Bar. This ultimate indulgence is sure to be a hit with any child or kid at heart. Plus, there are plenty of kid-sized concessions available, so parents can enjoy a snack while their little ones play.

More Philadelphia Phillies Ballpark Fun

Phillie Phanatic

Sure to make any Philly kid a phan, the one and only Phillie Phanatic performs on the field at the end of the 5th inning and on the Phillies dugout in the bottom of the 7th inning, so don't make a potty run at those times!

Home Run Liberty Bell

Teach 'em young the meaning of Ring the Bell! When the Phillies hit a homer, fans rejoice as thousands of LED lights in right-center field bring the bell to life. 

Grab kids' favorite foods before the game.
