Looking for another excuse to make it to the ball park this summer? There’s more to the game than sitting back and watching the players at work. The Washington Nationals resumed their behind-the-scenes tours of Nationals Park this weekend.
The one-hour-and-fifteen minute tours include the opportunity to step inside the Nationals Dugout, see where the guys hang their hats in the Clubhouse, step on the mound and throw a pitch in the home team bullpen, access to the Lexus Presidents Club and PNC Diamond Club, a chance to feel like a big-league reporter from inside The Shirley Povich Media Center, and visits to the Nationals batting cages to hit a couple balls.
Tickets are available online or at the Nationals Park Box Office and are $15 for adults and $12 for children under 12. Seniors and military will receive a $3 discount with a valid I.D.
Additionally, proceeds from the tours benefit the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation. So get outside, see the park, and support a good cause this season!
Tours will run until November 13.

This is an excellent tour. The Nats have done a great job with all the memorabilia and baseball items.
Bet you didn’t know there was an amateur team – The Washington Nationals who toured the midwest, won all but one game, and was given a hero’s welcome upon their return to DC. Frank Ceresi has written about them. Their tour helped spread the game of baseball.
Anyway, this team is remembered at the Nats Walk of History on the south side of the ballpark.
Forgot to say their tour was in 1860s.
