    Great Ballpark Tour

    Matt_T, Aug 2026
    Bob & Cindy were great guides. Petco is cool park to tour because its 20ish years old, but they upgrade yearly.

    Bought for husband’s birthday present. He loved it! The best optimal photo of the field is up in the Gallagher Chairman’s Club behind home plate. Ted was a great guide! Kept it fun, good pace for everyone, and good information!

    Family fun

    Stephanie_K, Jul 2026
    No tour in the dugouts. They were setting up for a future concert and we feel that the tour wasn’t a full experience. It was a cool location. Also, our tour guy was nice, but we didn’t need to learn all of him (over and over).

    Great Tour Guide

    Elikka_D, Jul 2026
    Our tour guide was extremely valuable and we were engaged with valuable information about the stadium, which was so great! We truly enjoyed the tour!

    Baseball history buffs...

    Baseball history buffs will love the tour. Time went very fast. Would have loved to go into dugout, as mentioned in description, not just look in from the fan seats.

    Sincerely a Dodgers & Angels fan

    MauroAbel_O, Jun 2026
    This experience is a must if you are visiting Downtown San Diego. Your guide Thor made the experience memorable, providing deep historical insight and stories from the Team. PETCO Park truly is the best ballpark around!

    Steve_B, Jun 2026
    This is a must see tour. Even if you are not a baseball fan, it is well worth it. Our tour guide Jack was great. He gave so much background on the ballpark and how it fit in San Diego.

    Great tour!

    Bobby_H, Jun 2026
    The tour was great. Our tour guide Karen, was amazing. We learned many things about the ballpark we wouldn't have known otherwise.

    Petco park review

    Randy_K, Jun 2026
    Our tour guide was named John, he was friendly, funny, gave us a lot of info about the team, the park, the city. He was very easy to talk to. He made the tour fun. Check in with super easy. If you are visiting from out of town and staying in that area, it’s super simple just to walk to the park. I came from Phoenix, when I left it was 105 outside and in San Diego, it was 70° so the change in weather was amazing. I would highly recommend taking a tour of the ballpark

    An Unforgettable Petco Park Tour Thanks to Ismael

    Marcy_B, Jun 2026
    Our family of five had an outstanding experience touring Petco Park, thanks to our incredible guide, Ismael. From the very beginning, his energy, knowledge, and enthusiasm made the tour engaging for every one of us. He had a great way of connecting with both adults and kids, sharing stories, fun facts, and behind‑the‑scenes details that made each stop feel meaningful. Whether we were in the dugout, the locker room, the press box, or taking in the views from the upper levels, Ismael made sure we understood what made each area special. What impressed us most was how personal he made the experience. He learned our names, encouraged questions, and made sure no one felt rushed. It genuinely felt like he cared about giving our family a memorable visit. Petco Park is already a beautiful stadium, but having someone as passionate and knowledgeable as Ismael guiding us made the tour exceptional. We left with great memories and a deeper appreciation for the ballpark. If you’re visiting San Diego, we highly recommend this tour — and if you’re lucky enough to get Ismael, you’re in for something truly special.

    The tour was amazing!...

    The tour was amazing! Brad was so knowledgeable and kept us engaged the whole time!! I’m not a big baseball fan but my boyfriend is and he loved it!!

    Petco Park for the Win

    ALLEN_P, Jun 2026
    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Petco Park! Our guide, Jan, was fantastic—friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. She shared fascinating stories and behind-the-scenes details about the park’s history, its day-to-day operations, the players, the organization, and the many people who work behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. Petco Park itself is an impressive and beautiful ballpark, and Jan’s enthusiasm made the experience even better. We learned so much and gained a whole new appreciation for the Padres organization. As huge Phillies fans, we never expected to leave San Diego cheering for another ballpark, but we definitely left as Petco Park fans! Highly recommend this tour to any baseball fan visiting the area. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    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
