4 Fun Things to Do With Your Kids at Milwaukee’s Ballparks

Play ball!

Wisconsin has plenty of baseball on deck. From our smaller teams to our big-league Brewers, here’s a guide to fun at our ballparks.

1. Bernie and the Boys

The Brewers need no introduction. They’re our hometown Major League Brew Crew, and we love ’em, whether they’re winning or, uh, not. Join the Kids Crew to get six tickets, a bunch of cool merch like bucket hats and sunglasses, a tour of the ballpark and more.

It’s time to pick your Milwaukee favorites for the year!

 

2. Play With the Pros

The Brewers Baseball Academy is one of the most popular summer camps in Milwaukee (so your adults will have to sign you up as early as they can). The camps are for kids ages 6-14, and the coaches teach practical baseball and softball skills – plus, you get to meet one of the Brewers!

3. Meet the Milkmen

This local American Association team says that it’s “pro baseball that’s udderly different.” Get it? Udder? Like a cow? While the slogan might be a little cheesy, watching a game is tons of fun. They play teams from around the country all summer long – and they’re really good. You can join Bo Vine’s Kids Club (yes, another cow pun) to get a pack of tickets, food vouchers, a toy and more.

4. Ain’t Nothin’ But a DockHound

A couple of years ago, southeastern Wisco got a new American Association team – the Lake Country DockHounds – and an awesome new stadium for them to play in. The team’s Kids Club membership includes dugout seat vouchers, baseball cards, kids batting practice with the players, and a plush of Louie, the lovable mascot.

The ABCs of Sunshine

Whether you’re on the ballfield or in the stands, here’s how to stay healthy in the bright sun.

A = Avoid. If it’s a sunny day out, try to step into the shade for a little while every half hour or so.

B = Block. Slather on some sunscreen before you head out – make sure it says SPF 30 or a higher number. And make sure to use plenty of it!

C = Cover. Pop on that baseball cap and slide on some sunglasses – they go a long way to keeping your face and eyes safe from the sun.
