Yes, Citi Field is worth visiting, especially on game day when the atmosphere is particularly lively. However, the public tours of the stadium are also well worth it for baseball fans in general or New York Mets fans in particular who want to learn more about the team and the stadium. There are also plenty of city tours that go through Queens and pass by the stadium, if you're interested in seeing only the exterior.

Per one customer who booked the Explore NYC: Tour of Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn, "This tour takes you through the different boroughs in NYC. The only one you don't see is Staten Island, which you can take the free Staten Island Ferry to view. The tour guide was wonderful! She did a great job showing us the different boroughs. I enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it."

Yes, there are plenty of options for Citi Field tours, from the public non-game day tours to enhanced Grand Slam tours and even private experiences for all group sizes and ages. And, for those who don’t want to leave their home comforts, there’s a virtual stadium tour, too.

To meet the Mets as a proper meet-and-greet, you need to contact the booking agents Athlete Speakers, although you’ll need a deep wallet to arrange this. Otherwise, your best chance of “meeting” the Mets is to downgrade your expectations and “watch” them instead at a New York Mets baseball game.

This large museum, known as the Mets Hall of Fame & Museum, is inside Citi Field, next to the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. The museum opens for home games (from when the gates open until the final whistle), and all fans with match tickets can enter to browse the memorabilia and videos.

Items not allowed in Citi Field follow a similar list to other US stadiums. Alcoholic drinks are banned, along with laser pointers, unsealed food and drink containers, and most backpacks. The bag policy is a little more lenient than elsewhere; check official info on the MLB Mets website before you go.

Citi Field isn’t in a high crime area, and if you’re going to a game, there’s sure to be plenty of people around. The neighborhood around the stadium is generally considered safe. However, when walking at night, keep your wits about you—as you would walking anywhere in the dark.
