TOURS OF ORACLE STADIUM

There are daily tours of the Oracle Stadium (formerly AT&T), with the exception of some blackout dates for events and games, that allow you to access the parts of the stadium that are usually reserved for San Francisco Giants staff and players.

Depending on the availability of specific areas, your tour may be slightly different than the previous or next days’ tours. 

All tours begin at the Lefty O’Doul entrance.

NOTE: Oracle Park is close to Fisherman’s Wharf, so you may want to consider taking our tour of the area either before or after your trip to the ballpark.

This is the perfect tour for anyone who wants to get a more in-depth experience than simply going to a game. Fans can see behind the scenes for 1.5 hours. 

This is the most popular option, as it is available almost every day of the year and it’s also the most affordable option.

Accessibility on the day permitting, this tour will take you to see:

• A major league dugout
• The visiting team’s indoor batting cages
• The visiting team’s clubhouse
• The press box
• The Giant Vault Museum

Daily tours are typically available four times per day:

There are a few blackout dates each year, and they are typical during special holidays or particularly busy days of the baseball season.

This tour is available during both the regular season and the off-season.

Daily Tour Prices

• $22/Adults | $17/Seniors | $12/Kids
• Active Military (with ID) FREE
• Kids 2 and Under FREE

TIP : This tour is included in the San Francisco Sightseeing Pass !

Pre-Game Tour

If you want to see the park just a few hours before a game begins, this is an excellent opportunity.

In addition to seeing many of the same areas included on the daily tours, you will also have the chance to watch warmups on the field from the first three rows right behind home plate.

This tour is only offered before home games during the regular season, so they are limited in nature and you may want to purchase tickets well in advance.

Tour times vary depending on when the game starts. Games typically begin at around 1 pm, 4 pm or 7 pm, so you can expect the tour to start a few hours ahead of these hours.

If you’re interested in seeing and doing even more before the game, Oracle Park also offers the opportunity to go on the field, visit the press box and see other areas typically off limits on their VIP tour.

Alternatively, you can also take a pre-game tour that allows you to sit and watch batting practice before the game begins with their private batting practice tour. Each of these alternatives is more expensive and must be booked through their tour hotline. Check our tickets section for more details.

Pre-Game Tour Prices

• General Admission: $35 per person
• Must purchase through tour hotline.
• Purchase general admission tickets .

TIP: If you want to take a tour before the game, it should be noted that the daily tour is offered during game days. It’s not the same as the pre-game tour, but it is very similar and a lot more affordable!

Private Behind the Scenes Tour

If you’re planning to take a tour with several friends or family, you might want to consider booking a private tour.

This is the most expensive option, and you can expect to pay $500 for your tour guide.

The private tour runs for a total of 1 ½ hours and is available for a max of 30 guests.

You can add a meal onto this tour for $30-$35 per person.

Private Tour Prices

• $500 per tour guide

The SF Giants have made Oracle Park even nicer for their richest fans

T he experience at Oracle Park for San Francisco Giants games is going to be quite different this season, with a new lighting system , new sound system and a new voice of the ballpark.

But while fans throughout the stadium will  experience those changes  — whether they are happy about them or not — there are a few tweaks for this year that will only be seen and felt by the team’s richest supporters.

The Giants have added seat cushions to every seat in the stadium’s Field Club section, the section of seats closest to the field around home plate and the dugouts. The Giants didn’t announce the seating changes as one of the upgrades at Thursday’s media open house event, but Giants executive vice president Alfonso Felder confirmed the change to SFGATE.

“We just wanted to introduce that amenity to a larger group of fans,” Felder said. “That was the logical next extension of the extra padding on the seating.”

In 2023, the Giants added cushions in the rows of the Field Club closest to home plate; Felder said it was either five or six rows that had them installed at that time. But this offseason, the team installed the chairs with padding throughout the entire Field Club section. The new seats were first noticed by KNBR-AM at the FanFest event the Giants held March 9. 

Felder said the Giants try to focus on making upgrades in areas they hear about the most in their fan surveys. For the seat cushions, he said, “it wasn’t an overwhelming thing,” but the Giants still decided to make it a “more comfortable experience.”

The Giants have also completed the first phase of their two-part luxury suite remodel, an upgrade they did announce during Thursday’s event. According to the team’s press release, the Giants redid the main lobby area on the suite level, with the press release stating it was designed to be “a premier destination for networking with colleagues, clients and fellow suiteholders.”

Over the next offseason, the Giants plan to revamp all of their luxury suites to, as the press release said, “feature more communal space” for the suiteholders. Felder said they’ve had this budgeted for “a couple of years” and last upgraded the luxury suites in 2013. 

The luxury suites and the Field Club are the most expensive section of the entire ballpark, with the cheapest single-game price for a Field Club ticket listed at $78 for a few Tuesday night games. By contrast, a bleacher seat runs as cheap as $11 on those nights. For the most expensive game all season (Saturday, June 29, against the Dodgers), the cheapest seat in Oracle Park will cost a fan $88, while it’s a minimum of $494 per seat in the Field Club.

Both the suite level and the Field Club seating area and  lounge underneath the seats are only accessible to fans with tickets for those specific sections in the ballpark. Still, there are other changes that all fans will experience, with Felder highlighting new food options, more LED boards on the promenade level to help fans navigate, and new LED ribbon boards that will give fans in the bleacher seats more easily viewable videoboards.

But as for the premium gluteal experience? Well, that’s just for the rich people .

Doval, Giants sign off on Hollywood-like Oracle Park entrance

By tristi rodriguez • published april 23, 2024 • updated on april 23, 2024 at 1:11 pm.

Los Angeles is nearly 400 miles south of San Francisco, but Giants closer Camilo Doval received the Hollywood treatment Monday night at Oracle Park.

The Giants unveiled their new ballpark lights during Doval's entrance in the ninth inning of Monday's 5-2 win over the New York Mets -- and they didn't disappoint.

The Hollywood-like feel had cameras and action but began in the dark, as all of the Oracle Park lights shut off briefly. Then, dimmed red lights illuminated the stadium while a bright spotlight shined on Doval as he jogged to the mound.

"I knew they were going to do the light show, but I didn't have an idea it was going to be like that," Doval said postgame through an interpreter, with a smile he couldn't hide. "It looked like a movie."

Fans both at the game and watching from home enjoyed the new lighting upgrades, as heard by fan reaction at Oracle Park and also on social media.

Doval, too, was a fan of the addition to his entrance.

Before the start of the 2024 MLB season, the Giants shared that they would introduce some spiffy new lighting and sound upgrades to Oracle Park.

Nearly four weeks into the new season, fans finally got a taste of the ballpark enhancements.

"That had to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen," Giants pitcher Ryan Walker said on NBC Sports Bay Area's Giants Postgame Live." "We've been waiting for that moment for how many games now? And we finally got to see it tonight. The spotlight is so cool.

"For him, I wonder what he feels like. I wonder what that feels like with the spotlight on you and everything's dark. Man, it's got to be a great feeling."

"I wonder what that feels like." Ryan Walker was blown away by Camilo Doval's new entrance 😂 pic.twitter.com/keMCbhyoy8 — SF Giants on NBCS (@NBCSGiants) April 23, 2024

Keaton Winn didn't get the same Hollywood-like treatment as Doval, but he still was lights out during his outing Monday night.

Nonetheless, he thoroughly enjoyed watching the light show and hopes to see more of it.

"Yeah, that was so sick," Winn told reporters postgame. "I saw it on the TV and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I wish I was outside for this.' That would've been cool to see in person. Hopefully, they do that more. It was so cool."

Giants manager Bob Melvin, as old school as one could get, might not be the biggest fan of the antics, but he'll let the players and the fans have their fun with it.

"If he likes it, it's fine," Melvin told reporters, smiling and shaking his head. "If fans like it, that's what it's all about."

SAN FRANCISCO — The Mets started the road trip with bats thumping and finished it in similar fashion.

Francisco Lindor provided the heft Wednesday, blasting two homers and driving in four runs in the Mets’ 8-2 victory over the Giants at Oracle Park that snapped a three-game losing streak.

It completed a 3-3 road trip for the Mets, who began with two straight victories over the Dodgers before losing their next three games (in which they combined to score all of three runs).

Lindor wasn’t alone in boosting the lineup. Tyrone Taylor, the Mets’ fourth outfielder, went 2-for-5 with a homer and three RBIs to continue his impressive play for the club after arriving last offseason in a trade with the Brewers.

But nobody needed the afternoon more than Lindor, who had again been trending in the wrong direction after appearing to break out against the Dodgers over the first two games of that series.

Lindor, whose two-run blast in the third inning got the Mets started on this day, finished with three homers and eight RBIs on the trip.

Sean Manaea held the Giants scoreless but was hardly efficient in throwing 101 pitches over 4 ²/₃ innings.

The left-hander, who pitched for the Giants last season, allowed four hits and walked four with six strikeouts before Reed Garrett entered to get the final out in the fifth.

Garrett pitched two innings and allowed one run. Adam Ottavino and Edwin Diaz got the Mets through the final 2 ¹/₃ innings.

In the six games on the trip, Luis Severino was the only Mets starter to give the team six innings. Manaea has four straight starts of five innings or fewer.

But the Mets have received results from a bullpen that entered the day with the best ERA in the National League at 2.99.

The Giants opted for a bullpen game, with scheduled starter Blake Snell scratched with a left adductor strain and placed on the injured list.

Ryan Walker was recalled from Triple-A and served as the opener.

Manaea loaded the bases with nobody out in the second on walks to Jorge Soler and Patrick Bailey, with Matt Chapman’s single sandwiched in between, before retiring three straight batters without a run scoring.

Manaea walked Austin Slater and Wilmer Flores in succession to begin the third but again escaped.

Slater was picked off second base, and Michael Conforto struck out before Jorge Soler was retired.

Lindor’s two-run homer in the third gave the Mets a 2-0 lead. Lindor jumped on an 0-2 slider and just cleared the high wall in right field.

Brandon Nimmo was on base after drawing a walk with one out. Lindor’s blast gave the Mets their first lead in the series.

Taylor homered leading off the fourth to extend the Mets’ lead to 3-0. It was the second homer of the season for Taylor, who started in right field, allowing Starling Marte to DH.

In the fifth Taylor struck again, smashing a two-RBI double after the Mets had started a rally with two outs.

Pete Alonso singled and Brett Baty walked ahead of Taylor’s shot to right-center. Jeff McNeil’s ensuing RBI single buried the Giants in a 6-0 hole.

Tyler Fitzgerald homered against Garrett leading off the seventh to end the Mets’ shutout bid.

It was the first earned run allowed this season by Garrett, who has emerged as a key piece of the Mets’ bullpen.

Lindor unloaded with a two-run blast in the ninth that extended the Mets’ lead to 8-1.

Alonso’s errant flip to Diaz covering first base in the ninth allowed the Giants to score an unearned run.
