My husband is a huge Astros fan and thought this would be a fun thing to do before Father’s Day weekend. I would recommend doing the All star tour which gives you access to the dugout, media press boxes, team Clubhouse and suite VIP boxes section. The tour guides aren’t great but do provide some neat information about ballpark. They are very pushy though about moving along and didn’t provide sufficient time for photos or offer to take photos for group. With everything being very expensive, we thought this was reasonably priced ($25) per person considering the amount of things we got to see.

Took a tour of this ballpark during a layover in flights. Took about 20 minutes from the airport and easy access from the highway. Nice ballpark and they give lots of tour options to choose from. I did the quick photos only tour which was meant for those that had limited time on their hands and wanted to still see the ballpark.
Definitely recommend it - $10 and gets you to check out the field and the tour guide gives a brief overview of the stadium.

The home of the Houston Astros baseball club may be the best of the ballparks with a retractable roof. Sightlines are good, concessions are largely local and reasonably priced by sports venue standards. Staff are friendly and helpful. Central location is convenient to transit and area hotels.

One of my favorite places on earth. I’ve brought my kids once before and that was miserable. But when it’s just me and my husband, I am happy to stay the whole 9 innings. The last game I went to we were sandwiched between 8 people on either side of us, just one row below the nosebleed seats (although, I don’t think there’s a bad seat in the park), we spent $35 on mediocre food and $10 on a large fountain drink with free refills (we got 5 refills/our money’s worth). The game was slow and the Astros lost, but we had such a great time. I love the ambience/energy.

Came here for the college classic between LSU and Texas. Had a great experience and stadium is modern yet has a old school field with brick and train running through left field. The food was very good but a bit expensive, we also did the all star tour which gave us access to dugouts, press boxes, and scoreboard early in day. Very good tour for photos and families, although tour guide was a bit mean

This is a great baseball venue. The seats are great and it is clean and well cared for.
The best thing is to take in a Astro's game whether it is during the day or at night. They have a couple of tasty restaurants and of course snack bars. Their sport's shops have lots of great Astro memorabilia and sportswear. You don't need to worry about the weather because if it is too hot, they close the roof and keeps thing cool or if it rains, you stay dry.

Was here March 4 thru 6 for a baseball tournament. Stadium was great, food products was good but a little pricey. Paid Major baseball prices.
One horrible point was the bathrooms, and it wasn't the lines that aggravated me. It was they had some of them closed off where there was a crowd of people and one had to was a ways to find one that was operating. That's unacceptable!!
All in all a decent experience.

Yes, like other stadiums the distance between the rows is a little tight and the concessions are overpriced. But they keep the entire place clean, there is a pretty good selection of food and beverages from real restaurants, and the place is air-conditioned. My only complaint is that they almost always keep the roof closed even at night. Hey! This is baseball, it's summer, and when the sun goes down it's reasonably pleasant.

I love a ballpark any day but was especially impressed with the staff I encountered getting food. They didn't have any pickles for the burgers but were so excited to be able to make me happy with some jalepenos. They were just extra friendly which made me smile!

I went with my friends to watch the Royal Rumble. My friend got the tickets on a radio contest. I loved our seats even though we were not close to the ringside. We have the two screens in front of us and we were also very close to the restroom and the snacks. Most people park around the stadium. If you get early you can get a nice parking spot for 15 dollars near the stadium. Be sure to take your time and don't take bags with you. There is a lot of security around the stadium and there are very strict with all their policies.

If we bring in an empty water bottle, are there filling stations around the park? Thanks in advance!
We are staying at Hyatt place Houston Downtown is that within walking distance of the stadium.
We are attending the Astros game on July 16th and we have seats in Section 236 Row 10 and it says they are club seats. I was wondering what you get with the club seats, since we have never been to minute maid park before.

Hello, my son and I will be attending an Astros game next week at Minute Maid Park. We're both baseball fans so we'll watch some of the game but we're mostly interested in walking around and checking out the ballpark. Without spending a fortune on tix, what's the best option for getting tix in a section where we can walk around and check out the entire park? Obviously not including the suite or club levels which I'm aware we wouldn't be able to see without a specific ticket. Thanks in advance!

You can walk around regardless of where your ticket is.

What section would be best to watch the Green Day concert for my sons 1st concert?
We were looking at 107, 109 or 129.
I want best view. Thanks!

It depends on where the stage is. If you're sitting behind home plate or the 1st or 3rd dugouts you have a view of the city which is cool if the roof is open! I saw a concert there and I enjoyed the city view.
I'm handicapped and need oxygen.are oxygen canisters allowed

First time to attend an Astros game with my grandson.....is there a shopping center with restaurants and offers ride to ballpark for a fee? I attended Rangers WS game years ago and there was such a place......

I’m not sure about the free rides. I do remember some shops and several places to eat. My son and I are at Craig Biegeo’s Restaraunt right outside the stadium and the food was great
If you arrive early for autographs and such after you’ve entered the park prior to the game can you exit the park and then re-enter before the game starts ?

No. No reentry.
Is there an area I can take my service dog to go to the bathroom inside the park?

Sorry but I don’t know. You’ll need to contact the facility or the Astros Organization to obtain that information.
