Family-Friendly Experiences
Cownose Clubhouse – The newly renovated Cownose Clubhouse, located just behind the right-center field wall on the second floor, is home to seven cownose rays from The Florida Aquarium that weathered Hurricane Milton in October 2024. Fans can access the Cownose Clubhouse via the Gate 1 elevator or staircase, touch the rays, and learn more about them. The Cownose Clubhouse opens when gates open and remains open through the top of the ninth inning, closing at the top of each hour for a 10-minute rest period to ensure the rays' well-being.
Family Fundays – Before every Sunday home game, children 14 and under can enjoy kid-friendly entertainment and the opportunity to meet Rays players and receive autographs along the first-base line near sections 120/122 starting 85 minutes before first pitch. After the game, Kids Run the Bases presented by RIPA returns to the field, along with the DJ Kitty Dance Party. Families should line up at the Gate 2 helix for Kids Run the Bases and at the left field doors for the DJ Kitty Dance Party.
Interactive Fan Areas – Fans can gamify their ballpark experience at two free interactive stations: Bat Around near lower Gate 6 and Speed Pitch near lower Gate 2. Both games are free for all fans and open from gates opening through the middle of the seventh inning.
Mascot Meet & Greets and Seat Visits – Raymond and DJ Kitty host a 30-minute meet and greet at the Rays Rookies alcove near Gate 1 immediately after gates open at every home game. Fans can also order mascot seat visits up until first pitch at RaysBaseball.com/RequestRaymond.
On-Field Pregame Experience – Kids can join the Rays on-field for a pregame experience. At Monday through Saturday home games, children 14 and under can visit the Rays Rookies alcove near Gate 1 to pick up an on-field pregame experience badge, while supplies last, for the opportunity to step onto the field 35 minutes before first pitch.
Rays Rookies Kids Club – Kids can sign up for the Rays Rookies Kids Club — with MVP, All-Star, and Rookie membership tiers — at the Rays Rookies alcove near Gate 1, through the Ballpark app, or online at RaysBaseball.com/RaysRookies. MVP members receive a free Raymond Kids Meal at every home game, 50% off tickets at select games, a Raymond bobblehead, and more. The alcove is open through the end of the fifth inning on Monday through Saturday games and through the end of the game on Sundays. MVP and All-Star membership items are available for pickup at the alcove only; free Rookie membership items are shipped by mail.
