Family Fun At Tropicana Field
Tropicana Field is one of the places to see in St. Petersburg, Florida, if you can tear yourself and your family away from the beach. More than just a ballpark, this facility is glorious to look at, on the cutting edge of the sport with its artificial surface and dirt base lines, and incredibly fan-friendly. If you want to watch MBA baseball and make sure the whole family has a memorable day, Tropicana Field is the place to do it.
Tropicana Field is a huge ballpark that has unique amenities for fans of all ages and special ties to the community it shares. The over one million square foot area is mostly ballpark, but also holds a 10,000 gallon tank of live cownose rays, a stage where kids can participate in a baseball-theme game show, Right Field Street full of family interactive sites, and batting cages.
In addition to being an exciting team to follow, the Rays are dedicated to supporting the community that gives it a home, with special ties to the Florida Aquarium, which cares for the resident rays. For example, every time a ball is hit into the tank, the Aquarium receives a $2,500 donation and another $2,000 goes to a charity chosen by the player that hit the ball.
In addition to the rays, there are batting cages, interactive stations along Right Field Street and in the Mt. Dew Extreme Zone, and a stage where a baseball theme game show invites kids to participate. Add in the excitement of professional baseball and you have a day the whole group will remember.
Of course, the hotel is also close to all the attractions of St. Petersburg, which is a major tourist resort city drawing visitors from all over the world. One landmark is the St. Petersburg Pier, five stories of shopping, dining, and entertainment right on the waterfront. In addition to the many events and festivals held at the Pier, the whole city is full of activities of all sorts. Every day and every evening can be spent in a different way in this exciting city.
