Children’s Admission/Tickets: The Minnesota Twins offer complimentary admission to children less than 30″ in height for regular season games, provided they are accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket.

Kids Day presented by Target and Gillette Children’s

Sundays are Kids Day at Target Field! Postgame, kids 12 and younger can run the bases on the field. Plus, Kids’ Meals presented by US Bank are half-priced (reduced from $8 to $4) at the Hennepin Grille stand near Section 311 and the Taste of Twins Territory stand near Section 124.

  • Bullseye’s Backyard: Every Sunday between Memorial Day and Labor Day, go to the Gate 34 Lawn, equipped with interactive games, a baseball card photo station, face painting, and more.
  • Running the Bases: After every Sunday home game, the Twins invite all kids ages 12 and under to run the bases. Children and an accompanying adult wishing to participate in this event should go 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. Guests may begin lining up for this post-game activity after the 7th inning.
