Our tour guide, Ted, was super enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable about Petco and the Padres. We had been to the park numerous times, but seeing all of the behind-the-scenes stuff was awesome! We went in a dugout, the Home Plate Club, got to go down to field level seats, press club… it was truly a fun experience!

Excellent tour and experience. We got a fantastic behind the scenes look at the park and it was extra cool because opening day is this week so there was a lot more than usual going on. Highly recommend the tour. As an FYI you get 10% off to the team store with your tour sticker so wait until after the tour to buy your gear.

    First MLB stadium tour

    ARTHUR_S, May 2026
    Be prepared to walk a good amount of stairs. Not bad, just be ready for it so wear good shoes. The guide was awesome and very knowledgeable. Joke were funny and he took us at a good pace to enjoy the trip

    Loved the Tour

    Sheila_S, Apr 2026

    Great park, great tour! Our tour guide, Mo, was friendly and knowledgeable, showing a true passion for everything about the Padres and Petco park history.

    It was a great tour, however, if you bring little kids, do not bring a stroller, a baby carrier is best.

    Disappointing

    Kathy_S, Mar 2026
    We were disappointed because we didn’t get to go in the dugout or see the clubhouse because there are only certain times that is permitted. Wouldn’t have done the tour if we knew that

    Great tour- highly recommend

    Just book it!

    Elizabeth_S, Mar 2026
    This experience was so fun, and fully exceeded our expectations. We’re locals but love to explore our city like tourists, and this was something neither of us had done. Melanie was the best, and you could tell she loves her job, and that’s just as much a perk for us. Highly recommend!

    Mostly good

    Rebecca_T, Mar 2026
    We went with our family of five—our oldest two boys love baseball, our youngest not so much. Mo asked our youngest four different questions about the foul pole because he was the youngest—then laughed and said he’s 0 for four. My son didn’t volunteer, he was singled out because he was the youngest. The tour was otherwise fun, bun singling out an 11 year old and laughing at him was a lame move.

    Felt like a bigwig or All-star

    Overall great experience

    Megan_O, Mar 2026
    Our tour guide, Brad, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Petco park is a beautiful stadium. The tour focused on the fan experience- bars, seating, suites, luxury seating. We saw the visitor locker room. More time on the field or in the dugout/bullpen would have made the experience even better.

    Facts Galore on this tour 😁

    Karen was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Petco Park is a nice facility but not particularly unique. Worth the venture.

    Stadium Tour delight

    Brandy_P, Feb 2026
    Dan was amazing! Bring some water. Wear comfortable shoes lots of walking of course. Lots to see. I had a great time.

    What a ballpark!

    Jill_M, Feb 2026
    Petco Park offers great views in San Diego and is a beautiful ballpark full of history and all kinds of nooks and crannies. Our tour guide, Dan was delightful and shared great stories. If you love baseball and city history, this is your tour. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is, though interesting and fun, I thought it was a bit pricey

    Excellent tour

    Eric_E, Feb 2026
    This was a wonderful tour of Petco Park. Dan did a great job sharing details about the park and Padres’ history. We got to the dugouts, press booth, locker room, and even the players’ garage. I learned a lot about the stadium, and would do it again with another group of friends.

    A well organized tour starting at the Metal Western Supply building to the dugouts! Lots of cool spots in between.

    We had Karen as our tour guide, she was full of cool facts and fun stories. Was a very enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend.

    Enthusiasm and Love for Park and Team

    Lorelei_Z, Feb 2026
    Great tour of #petcopark. We even saw #fernandotarisjr practice hitting behind 1-way mirror. Our tour guide Karen was incredibly knowledgeable about the park and team. You could just feel her enthusiasm and pride. Best tour I’ve ever had.

    Great tour

    Doug_D, Feb 2026
    Great guide (Thor) for our tour. Loved seeing all the behind the scenes areas. I’d recommend this tour!

    The tour of Petco Park was very interesting. It was fun to see behind the scenes and experience the beautiful stadium from different locations within the park. So many great options for fans! Our guide Brian was very knowledgeable and had lots to share.

    Informative and Fun

    Leslie_B, Dec 2025
    Very nice tour. Our tour guide, Juan, was funny and knowledgeable. We had a good time and saw a lot of the stadium, locker rooms, press area and very fancy private clubs.

    Mo made the day!

    Richard_C, Dec 2025
    If there's any way to request a tour guide… Request Mo. He was absolutely fantastic! He was enthusiastic throughout the tour. You could tell he really loved what he was doing. Very knowledgeable, and very .

    Great Experience

    Annabel_H, Dec 2025
    My husband and I enjoyed this tour so much and learned a lot of info about the Padres! Our tour guide Jan was wonderful!

    Excellent an interesting tour of Petco Park in San Diego

    Steve_S, Nov 2025
    Excellent tour and guide was knowledgable. However, he did not like adults asking questions and would abruptly say “I am getting to that” when someone asked a question. He would be even more effective if he was more welcoming of all questions and more patient.

    Petco tour

    Anthony_S, Oct 2025
    Dan was a great guide with many interesting anecdotes. The tour included dugout, visitor clubhouse, suites and other behind the scenes areas. Much fun for all.

    Yolanda_C, Sept 2025
    Jane was an excellent tour guide. It was a small group and we were able to learn many historical facts and see many areas of the park. A fantastic venue……well worth the visit!!!
