Play Ball! Braves Baseball

Baseball is often referred to as America’s favorite pastime, but why? Maybe because the sport is nearly 180 years old!
Atlanta is lucky to have the only existing major league franchise to have played every season since professional baseball came into existence. Truist Park, where the Atlanta Braves play, is also unique; it houses the first zip line and climbing tower in a major league ballpark. Ready to enjoy some baseball?
It’s an awesome time to be a Braves fan!
The season opens April 4 with a three-game series against the Miami Marlins. Line the streets of The Battery Atlanta at 4 p.m. for the Braves Walk as players and coaches parade down Battery Avenue. Those in attendance will receive a magnetic schedule of the 2025 season, and on April 6, the first 3,000 kids in attendance will receive a Chris Sale “Triple Crown” to commemorate his pitching accomplishment in 2024. See the website for other giveaways and promotions. General admission ticket prices start at $21.
Before the first pitch, kids will love Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Park. This interactive kid’s zone has a mini ball field, BLOOPER’s Clubhouse, arcade games, a zip line, a rock wall and more. Register for the Atlanta Braves Kids Club for exclusive fun.
Good to Know
Purchase parking passes online prior to the game, and use the Waze app to navigate to your specific lot, since each lot has its own address. Each ticket holder can bring their own food and one bottle of water into the stadium. The food must fit inside a clear, gallon-sized plastic bag. Find more information on mlb.com/braves.
