Petco Stadium Tours on Padres Game Days

When the Padres are in town, the stadium tour schedule bends to accommodate the fluctuating game times. For the last tour right before the Padres game, a ticket to the game is required. The earlier tours are open to the public with no game ticket required.

The behind the scenes tour of Padres stadium lasts about an hour and a half, and covers 1.5 miles of the stadium! It’s a great field trip for students, sports teams and other youth groups, seniors as well as corporate trips.
