American Family Field

1 Brewers Way · Milwaukee, WI

Why you should go…

American Family Field, called Miller Park until 2020, has been home to the Milwaukee Brewers since 2001. Its fan-shaped convertible roof can open or close in under 10 minutes, and glass panes let natural grass grow below. After home runs and wins, Bernie Brewer slides down from his chalet above the left field seats. Ballpark tours can take you into the Selig Experience, the Brewers bullpen, the press box and the broadcast booth.

Good to know

General sightseeing guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • The forecast is part of the ticket

    Haze, low cloud, and rain flatten a view. Clear-day visits are worth rearranging your plans for.

  • Golden hour sells out first

    Sunset slots at observation decks and cruises are the first to go, so book those further ahead.

  • Dress a layer warmer

    It is always breezier up high and out on the water than it feels at street level.

  • Timed entry is common

    Plenty of landmarks release tickets in windows rather than at the door, so check before you walk over.
