Atlanta: Atlanta Braves’ Truist Park Guided Tour

Imagine stepping just beyond the bustling stadium gates into the private world of Major League Baseball’s longest-standing franchise. For $35 per person and about 90 minutes, this guided tour in Atlanta offers a unique, insider perspective on the Atlanta Braves’ home, Truist Park. From exclusive access to the press box, dugout, and club areas, to learning about 150+ years of team history, it’s a rich experience for baseball fans and curious travelers alike.

Two standout features make this tour especially appealing: first, the chance to walk on the field from the dugout, feeling like a player for a moment; and second, the visit to off-limits areas that you’d never see just by attending a game.
