Padres KidsFest 2026

What Is San Diego Padres KidsFest?

A day of baseball and family fun at Petco Park. KidsFest, presented by Nuna, is part of every home Sunday game at Petco Park. Bounce houses, face painting, interactive games, balloon artists, and more kid-friendly activities. The redesigned Nuna playground stays open all game.

What time does KidsFest start?

KidsFest begins when gates open. Some activities end before first pitch. Inflatables and the Play Ball field remain open through the end of the 7th inning. The Nuna playground stays open all game.

Where Is KidsFest?

All the fun takes place in Petco Park’s Gallagher Square (the park formerly known as the Park At The Park).

Kids Run the Bases

Running the bases is a bucket list thrill for kids and adults. After most KidsFest Sunday games, kids and their families get to run the bases on the Petco Park field, presented by Chick-fil-A. Line up after the 8th inning in Gallagher Square. Not all Sunday games include Kids Run the Bases—check the schedule.
