Are you a sports fan or have a future major league sports player in your family? Then take them on a tour of your local ballpark where home runs are “splash hits!”
During a behind the scenes tour of a sports arena, children learn about the history of a sports team that is deeply ingrained in the fabric of American culture, the construction of a stadium, and how a sports team is operated on a daily basis.
In Southern California, we are lucky to have 4 major sports stadiums that offer both public and private tours for community groups, schools and scout troops.
