Citi Field

41 Seaver Way · Queens, NY

Why you should go…

Citi Field has been the home of the New York Mets since 2009. You enter through the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, where his nine values are set into the floor beside an 8-foot sculpture of his number 42. Next door, the Mets Hall of Fame and Museum displays the 1969 and 1986 World Series trophies and player artifacts. When a Met hits a home run, a giant apple rises from its housing in the center field batter's eye.

Good to know

General attractions guidance

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

  • Book the time slot, not just the ticket

    Timed entry is now the norm at big-draw attractions, and online tickets are often cheaper than the gate.

  • Grab the daily schedule on arrival

    Feeding times, keeper talks, and shows run on a posted timetable that changes day to day.

  • The first hour is the quietest

    Queues build through late morning and peak after lunch, so an early start buys you the shortest waits.

  • Budget past the ticket price

    Parking, lockers, strollers, and food inside the gates are common extras worth planning for.
