Globe Life Field | Texas Rangers & Family Fun

Globe Life Field | Texas Rangers & Family Fun - Sports & Recreation in Arlington, TX

Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers, is one of the most family-comfortable ways to enjoy baseball in Texas, for one simple reason: the retractable roof and air conditioning mean a July game feels nothing like a July afternoon. As the home of the 2023 World Series champions, the ballpark carries real big-league energy, and it works whether you come for a game or for a behind-the-scenes tour on a quieter day.

Catching a Rangers Game

An MLB game here blends classic ballpark tradition with modern, family-first amenities: creative concessions, team shops full of souvenirs, and interactive fan zones that give kids something to do beyond their seats. The climate control is the headline feature for families, turning what could be a sweaty ordeal into a comfortable evening. Beyond Rangers games, the venue hosts concerts, off-season events, and community programs year-round.

Taking a Tour (the Part Kids Remember)

The tour is the sleeper hit for families, and it has a genuinely special payoff. The 90-minute premium tour spends about 60 minutes behind the scenes in the dugouts, clubhouses, and premium spaces, then gives you 30 minutes to play catch and take photos out on the actual outfield grass. You can bring one ball and one glove per person to use during that outfield time (no bats, and equipment is not provided). For a bigger splurge, a two-hour VIP tour opens with 30 minutes of hands-on time with authentic Rangers artifacts before touring the ballpark’s premium areas.

Tour Prices and What’s Included

  • Adults: about $35
  • Seniors (65+), military, and first responders with valid ID: about $32
  • Youth (ages 4-14): about $25
  • Children 3 and under: free

Tour times shift with the team’s schedule, so check the ballpark website before you go, and note that all minors 17 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.

Tips for Visiting

For games, buy tickets early for popular matchups, review the bag policy to speed through entry, and arrive ahead of first pitch to explore the fan zones and team shops. On non-game days, the tour is a lower-cost, lower-crowd way to experience the ballpark, and the outfield catch is worth timing a visit around if you have a young baseball fan.
