- The Mamava Suite is located near Gate 4.
- Stroller parking can be found next to the Addison “L” station.
- You can also bring a diaper bag, with whatever you need for your baby, into the stadium.
- Children ages 2 and under do not need a ticket as long as they sit in your lap.
Pro Tip: Get seats in the shade (typically Terrace Reserved), and get ear muffs for babies.
2. Toddlers through tweens can Run the Bases postgame on Sunday afternoons.
3. Kids meals are available at select concession stands, and with the new grab-and-go options, lines have been significantly reduced.
4. If kids get ancy, bring them out to Gallagher Way to stretch their legs, have a catch, and run around without missing a play on the 40ft video screen.
5. Register your kids for Clark’s Crew membership.
- This year your child will receive a bucket hat, a foldable backpack, a wall flag, pencil case, a mug, and a member ID card.
- Additionally, kids get fast-pass privileges to Run the Bases on Kids Sundays, free admission to a Wrigley Field tour, 10% discount off Cubs Baseball Summer Camps, 10% off merchandise at the official Cubs Store, and the opportunity to participate in member-only special events throughout the year, which can include a catch on the field, watch parties, ice skating with Clark, player Meet & Greets, etc.

8. If you have any big Cub fans at home, they might be interested in seeing the players enter the stadium from the player’s parking lot across the street.
