Entrée options vary by location and include hot dogs, chicken tenders, and pizza slices.
- Running the Bases: After every Sunday home game, the Twins invite all guests ages 12 and under to run the bases. Kids wishing to participate in this event should proceed to the North Ramp area on the Main Concourse, near Section 130, to access the field.
For very young children, we politely request that only one adult accompany the child as they run the bases. Because spots are limited, we suggest guests begin lining up for this post-game activity at the conclusion of the 7th inning.
Activities at Target Field
Explore all that Target Field has to offer! Here are some must-see spots when visiting the ballpark, perfect for kids’ activities or family photo opportunities!
- Golden Glove: One of the most iconic photo spots is on the Target Plaza, right outside the Gate 34 entrance. There sits ‘The Golden Glove’, a seven-foot by nine-foot statue which honors all past Twins Gold Glove winners. Be careful in the summer months, as the surface might become hot.
- T.C.’s Clubhouse: Visit the plaza near Gate 34 during the 3rd inning for a photo opportunity with T.C. Bear. T.C Bear can also be found throughout the concourse during the game.
- Second-Level Statues: Near T.C.’s Clubhouse and scattered throughout the 2nd level are statues of Mickey Mouse and Snoopy, perfect for young kids to take photos next to.
- Target Plaza: One of the most popular spots for a family photo is near the railing of the outfield by Target Plaza. Get the view of home plate and Target Field in the background for your next Christmas card!
- Visit Sue the Organist: Stop by Twins Pub, located on the Terrace Level tucked behind home plate, and get the opportunity to see and chat with Sue Nelson in between tunes.
