Kauffman Stadium

1 Royal Way · Kansas City, MO

Why you should go…

Kauffman Stadium has been home to the Kansas City Royals since it opened in 1973. Behind the right field fence the Water Spectacular fountains run along the outfield, and the Crown Vision HD scoreboard measures 85 feet wide by 105 feet tall. Guided tours start at the Team Store next to Gate C and can take you into the dugout, interview room and press box. The Royals Hall of Fame sits in the left field area.

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.
