The location on the Ohio River is great. The fan amenities include a variety of food options. The exterior of the ballpark features towering smokestacks that shoot flames and fireworks when a Reds player hits a home run. There is also a massive riverboat deck in center field. There's plenty of moderately priced parking lot within a stroll to the ballpark. read more

Love GABP. Lots of parking in garage around the park. You can purchase parking when you purchase your tickets. Tickets are viable in the Ballpark app. Lots of good options in the park. Fun games to play prior to the game. Typical opening time us 1.5 hours prior to game time but if it differs it will be posted in the Cincinnati Reds website. We always have fun at this ballpark. read more

Stadium 26/30. Did a Memorial Day weekend baseball trip to knock out some more stadiums on my road to see all 30. My Cardinals were in town, so that was a bonus. I planned on seeing 2 games here, but Sunday got rained out. I did get to catch Saturdays night game. I liked this stadium a lot! The stadium has great views from anywhere you stand/sit. I got a ticket in the upper deck right past 3rd base. That's usually my preferred seating area. You can see the whole field including the pitches pretty well, too. You also have a great view of the river from this stadium. Very peaceful! I liked how the stadium felt kind of "smaller". Ushers and staff were very friendly and they have a bunch of cool statues on the way into the park. Unfortunately, my Cardinals lost in 11 innings that night, but it was a great game, and I really enjoyed my time at the stadium. Parking was a couple blocks down the road on 4th/Race St via Park Whiz for only about $10.00. Can't beat that. read more

What great event with the Savanah Bananas and the Indianapolis Clowns playing a weekend series at Great American Ballpark here in Cincinnati. Wild player antics before and during a wild game of baseball. Yeah it's baseball but with the rules amped up to make for a more interesting game. Catch a foul ball in the stands and the player is out, different players with different uniforms... stunts and trick plays keep you guessing what's going to happen next. Fun atmosphere for all ! read more

Had a weekend getaway at Cincinnati great American ballpark came to see the Cincinnati Reds play the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was a great game. They had a lot of camaraderie. They even sang the take me out to the ball game song. It was such a good time. They have a lot of really cool snacks like this soft serve in a souvenir hat. They also had Penn Station and we had to grab one it. It's such a great venue if you are ever nearby and can swing a game I definitely would. read more

I always love coming here during baseball season to watch the Reds. It's one of those places that's just consistently a good time. The seats are usually pretty affordable, the atmosphere is fun, and it never feels overwhelmingly crowded, which makes the whole experience more enjoyable. Parking is also super convenient, especially with how close the garages are, and getting in and out of the stadium is really easy. I also appreciate that you can bring your own food and even a small cooler, which honestly helps a lot. That being said, the prices inside the stadium have gotten absolutely outrageous. I understand that this is pretty standard across most stadiums, but there's definitely room for improvement. It would be great to see them take a step back and reevaluate pricing across the board, or at least offer some kind of deals or special promotions on certain days. Otherwise, I could genuinely see it turning people away over time. Overall, it's still a really fun place to spend a day or evening, and I'll definitely keep coming back. I just hope they make some adjustments to keep it accessible for everyone. read more

I recently visited Cincinnati for the three game series against my San Francisco Giants. Besides the games I also partook in a stadium tour. It is a nice venue and I also appreciate the baseball history displayed. I wasn't impressed with the concessions. I tried the all you can eat pass for $25. The "hot dogs" were the most disgustingly inedible awful looking and revolting "food" ever! I don't think that was meat! So pale and unappetizing looking. Just ridiculous! They should be ashamed serving these. That's not food! Other than five of these most pathetic excuses for "hot dogs" you get popcorn, peanuts, chips, and soda. Pass on this pass! read more

Home of the Cincinnati Reds MLB team. Decent park for being almost 20 years old already. They have done many updates to keep current with times. Great American Ball Park is easy to get to park and walk. Plenty of restaurants and bars just outside to hit up before going inside and paying $14.00 per beer. ( Insane) All in all nice ball park with a good vibe. If visiting Cincinnati during Reds season, hit up a game and some bars afterwards. read more

Great American Ball Park - Bad seats, but ridiculous view! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Great American Ball Park is underrated. The reason I mention this is because it gets put at the bottom of many MLB stadium lists. However, I enjoyed my time at the stadium which included two games against my Red Sox and a stadium tour. The stadium tour lasted close to two hours long and our tour guide Dave had a great sense of humor and wasn't a know-it-all like some other tours I've been on. We walked on the field behind home plate, into the dugouts, and even checked out all of the club seating options throughout the stadium. I attended a Saturday game in the Champions Club which included food and soft drinks. The view from the seats is perfect and the food was surprisingly good for stadium food. The Sunday game I attended was in the Scouts Club, these seats were closer to the field but you ARE in the sun. The lounge area inside is nice with booths, TV's, a bar, bathrooms but you do have to pay for your concessions. These seats do include in-seat service too which is nice if you don't want to miss any of the action. Great American ball park has a hall of fame museum right outside the stadium which is incredible. Probably the best baseball museum outside of Cooperstown. read more

A very beautiful stadium for the Reds organization. I found it to be very easy to navigate within the stadium. You're just walking in circles and everything was pretty accessible . They had plenty of drink and food stations that offered some of the local favorites and I also spotted a chick fila as well. Entering and exiting the stadium was pretty easy. read more

This ball park truly is a gem. Located in downtown Cincinnati a block from the Ohio river this stadium offers pretty views of the river plus a great atmosphere. On baseball game day the Cincinnati Reds have made the ball park a family entertainment destination. From the variety of food offered to kids play areas to a music stage there is plenty to do. But don't forget to catch the game! The food offerings go from traditional ball park faves like hot dogs and popcorn to hometown favorites such as Cincinnati chili and Montgomery Inn BBQ. There is a good selection of beer also. Located on the ground level is a fairly large open area with picnic tables to eat and perhaps catch some Live music before the game. There are ample spaces for kids of all ages, from play equipment to a small sized baseball diamond where youth can practice their hitting skills. An upper deck features a wee little one's area. Which also has great views of the Ohio river. Speaking of the river if you have tickets somewhere near or at home plate in the upper sections you will have a wonderful view of the ball diamond and of the river. Before or after the game you can catch many restaurants and bars across the street from the stadium. There is also a DORA area located there. One tip if you want to avoid some sun purchase tickets from home plate out to a little past the first base line (especially in the in the upper sections). read more

Play ball!!! As far as ball parks go, Great American Ball Park (GABP) has a lot going on. And, for most people, each visit may be a different experience altogether. For me, as a Chicago native, I typically go to GABP when the Cubs come in to town to beat the Reds. I've been going to Cubs/Reds games periodically for at least 20 years now. From day one, the first thing I noticed was how many Cubs colors were worn in the stands. It's awesome! The best part is that everyone is all about having a good time and getting along. There's no hate, no anger or bitter rivalry. It's just a ball game, and I love it. The park itself is clean and has a lot of food, snacks and beverages to choose from. I'm not certain of all the pricing, but it's typical ball park pricing, for the most part. Quality and pricing are about what you'd expect. On select night games, they do have fireworks shows after the game, so be sure to check and see if there's going to be one after your game. Also, they have giveaway events but you'll want to get there early. Parking is as you would expect. We typically park a block or two into the city. Pricing is standard but the more into the city you go, the less of a nightmare it is getting out. I would try to stay away from multi-story parking garages. Those can be a bit of a nightmare. Would I go back? Absolutely! Like I said, it's always about having fun. With the family, friends, on a date, work event, etc.... it's always a good time. Located right at the edge of the river really makes it even more picturesque on really nice weather days. Pro-tip: Prices vary from game to game. So if you're looking to get out of the house and do something fun, or something you've never done before, go ahead and check out the schedule. Find a game day that interests you and look for seats. You don't need the best seats to have a good time! read more

I've been coming down here since 2013. One of my favorite stadiums. Fan friendly. The Hall of Fame is a must for any baseball fan. I really like concession stands. The restrooms are clean. The ushers are very helpful. I was here for the Series against the Mets. I had the fortunate luck to be here for the Marty Brennaman statue ceremony. It was cool. It was good to Marty speak one more time. The games were entertaining. I also got a Bobblehead on that giveaway day. I also received an oversized commemorative ticket for the statue ceremony. Got in on the free LaRosa pizza strikeout promo. All in all a great weekend. Plus good to see Tito back in the game. read more

So happy to give this park a review that it deserves. Came last night and today to see the Reds take on the World Champion Dodgers. Last night was 3-2-1 Tuesday, $3 beers, $2 HOF dogs and $1 sundae cups. As you can imagine, it was quite chaotic and the stadium was way more crowded. I'd recommend avoiding Tuesdays when they have this promotion, unless you want it be surrounded by raucous fans. Tomight was much calmer and the fan base seemed much better and baseball oriented. Sporting Dodgers gear tonight ( as opposed to Reds jerseys last night), fans were normal and friendly, especially in our row. Various people offered to take our photo at very places when we tried to take selfies, and the two employees at the on site HOF museum also friendly and interested in why season ticket holders for the Reds were in Dodger blue lol Kudos to the employees keeping the ladies bathroom clean ( 135/6) by the small playground, which was monitored by an employee There is a taco / nacho place with delicious tacos and staff with great senses of humor, on weekends and high attendance games (behind 132? In cut away area) Anyway, a clean, open stadium with great scoreboards, mascot races, fireworks when the Reds hit a Homer out of riverboat smokestacks. Add this one to your list! read more

We had a blast at the Great American Ballpark. The staff was all very friendly it was our babies first game and you can get a cute certificate with their name at guest services. They also have a great mother's room from what my wife said, no men allowed. Great air conditioned area with someone manning the door and lots of room. The play area is also very nice. I did the all you can eat for $25 which is 5 hotdogs then all you can eat, popcorn, chips (just lays originals), peanuts, and fountain pop. Very good deal and I like how they use the tickets for hotdogs and everything else you just go and grab. You get a wristband so they know you're part of it. Definitely would come back. The stadium is very well maintained and beautiful right along the river. Tons of fun for everyone. read more

The Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati has been on my list of places to catch a baseball game for quite some time. Sure, it's named after an insurance group, but it's an otherwise awesome name for a baseball stadium. It's ideally located along the Ohio River adjacent to Riverfront Park and plenty of restaurants & bars. Among the 20 or so major league ballparks I've been to, it may not have all the bells and whistles some of the newer stadiums have, but is very much charming and welcoming despite being over 2 decades old. The staff is very friendly, and the concourse areas are both functional and appealing. Concessions are overpriced as is typical of the sporting experience, and the ballpark food I sampled was unremarkably average on taste. My main reason for the rating is the majority of seats have no shade, which can be brutal on a sunny day combined with summer heat. Other ballparks do a better job of having a greater selection of seats protected from the sun or rain. Despite this minor gripe, this was an overall fun and fan friendly ballpark experience for me. I absolutely love their hilarious mascots which did a great job dancing and keeping fans entertained. read more

Sunday May 26, 2024 Tony Vanoy and I went to the Cincinnati Reds vs LA Dodgers game at the Great American Ball Park. The game was fantastic!!! We park in the Riverfront parking garage below and only had to walk up one flight of steps to street level...we were parked on P1 at Red 13 level. We came up right at the Reds Zone Souvenir Shop!!! The parking garage was $25 and was CARD ONLY....CASH FREE ZONE.... IN FACT...THE ENTIRE BASEBALL ARENA IS A CASH FREE VENUE.....CREDIT-DEBIT-VENMO-APPLEPAY-GOOGLEPAY....ONLY!!!! I believe but not sure Cashapp also was included.. Just NO GOOD OLD FASHION CASH NOT ACCEPTED.....OMG!!!!!! Other than that....which I was offened and found very UN-AMERICAN....Come on guys....American Cash not Accepted What are we coming to?? The game was good! Great exactly even though it rained, lightening strikes, game delays, Reds won 4-1 with 2B Jonathan India making a hit that brought 2 runners home which scored the first 2 runs of the game in the 4th inning We purchased a 16oz Budweiser at $15 and later a 14oz draft Miller Lite for $14 and I drank a normal size bottle of water for $5 & a hot dog for $12...lol !!! Can't wait until the next game!! We are going again! We thoroughly enjoyed the live loud crowd experience...we loved the view of our seats LETS GO TO THE BALLPARK!!! read more

Wow, wow, wow! We have been to 16 MLB stadiums, and this one makes it in my top 5! I have a 1 year old, and there was SO much for her to do inside of the park. There are two playgrounds, a "reading room" and even a nursing room. Now, those reasons are mostly why I love this park. However, the park as a whole, was also wonderful. So many food choices. They even have a $25 all you can eat band you can buy, and 2 concessions that you can use this band at (maybe more, but I know we saw two for sure). We were in the 400 section, behind home plate and the view was outstanding. I also liked the bench swings you can sit at and enjoy the river. There are not many stadiums we visit that I care to visit again, but I would come here again! read more

The Cincinnati Reds and Great American Ballpark, what a wonderful stadium for watching a baseball game! I visited back in late May and purchased a ticket for an evening weekday game against the popular St. Louis Cardinals. It was $14 for a seat in the upper deck behind home plate. I actually enjoy sitting high above the action from the "nosebleed" seats because it offers the viewer fantastic panoramas of the stadium's backdrop., And for here at Great American Ballpark, it's situated along the Ohio River and overall, just an ideal location for a stadium. Unfortunately, there were maybe 5000 fans in attendance for the game. When I recently went to a local Des Moines, Iowa AAA game, there were a lot more fans interested in their Minor League team than here in downtown Cincinnati. Anyhow, I loved the stadium. Walking around and observing the pros and cons, I'd certainly rank Great American Ballpark in the backend of my Top 10 venues in the country to catch a game. Within short distance of Great American Ballpark is a restaurant/bar scene for hanging out. There's also a worthwhile - Welcome to the Queen City Sign which is good for a playful picture. But the winning aspect has to be the wide open sceneries from the John A. Roebling Bridge that connects Kentucky and Ohio. It's pedestrian friendly and you're offered vista point perspectives that's representative of the heart of Middle America. Also, don't forget the walking pathway beside the Ohio River. It's ideal for breathing in fresh air, whether you're a tourist or local. Just nearby the Reds home is Paycor Football Stadium which hosts the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati is really a fun sports town for not even having a basketball or hockey team. Now back inside Great American Ballpark, I suggest you stop at Fan Services, and they'll gladly print out an awesome certificate stating it's your first visit to the Reds Park. I got one and it's a nice souvenir. Also, it's personalized with your name on it! Fan Services is located in the upper deck section. Cincinnati is also known for their Skyline Chili which is offered at concession stands. It's basically a chili and cheese topping. It's popular on hotdogs. I'm not the biggest fan of it, but still, if you're interested in getting a taste for what makes places around the country unique, then try some Skyline Chili! My favorite part to the baseball game was the fireworks blasting away from the outfield every time a Reds player hit a homerun. Good thing there were 3 homeruns, lol. Plus, since the Reds won the game...there were extra fireworks lighting off in celebration. Imo...there's something about fireworks that makes a gathering special or in this case punctuating a winning moment in sports. Be on the lookout for the fireworks cannon. There's 2 of them located in straight away centerfield. The game passed by quickly. Now with a "shot clock" rule in effect for pitching, the action was completed in under 3 hours. My only wish would be for more fans to support the team. It'd make the atmosphere more buzz worthy rather than being lax and dull from time to time. If I lived in Cincinnati, I'd happily attend many Reds games. Lastly, almost forgot...I must give credit to the front entrance facade to Great American Ballpark. It's terrific and offers one of the best photo moments for fans! Right beside this entrance is the Reds Hall of Fame and Team Store. Alright, I give 2 big thumbs up to Cincinnati, Ohio and the Reds organization for a fulfilling baseball experience. Thank you for having me. read more

Beautiful stadium and a fun experience overall. We've been season ticket holders for 35 years. Great seats due to that privilege.

Most definitely need a better wine by the glass selection. Go Red Legs! read more

My family enjoyed watching a ball game here between the Reds and the San Diego Padres on July 2, 2023. I would say this ballpark has more pluses than minuses. First, it has a spectacular view of the Ohio river with the Roebling bridge in the distance if you go to the 430 section. Second, the tickets are quite affordable compared to West Coast and East Coast ballparks. We sat in the 115 section Row L (near the visiting team dugout). Third, the parking garage complex (Central Garage West) made it easy to pre-pay for a spot. That said, the ballpark had a couple of downsides. First, the variety of dining options was limited to Skyline Chili, Porkopolis, and Fryworks. And second, the traffic leaving the ballpark was just awful. Cincinnati does not have a strong public transportation system - so it felt like more than 90% of visitors arrived by car (except for some people who walked across the bridge from Kentucky). Overall, I would recommend coming here to experience a game at this family-friendly ballpark. read more

My first visit to the "new" Great American Ball Park. It's new to me as I grew up knowing Crosley Field and Riverfront. It reminded me a lot of the old Busch Stadium with the circular setup. The best part of this park is that it has good views from most seats in the stadium. We sat out by right field, which gave us a pretty good view of the field. There was a little bit that was obscured between the visitors' bullpen and our seats. But not enough to miss the action. The seats are basic sports stadium seating. They are a bit close. It's nice that every seat has a cup holder. There are tons of restaurants in the stadium and serve a lot of ballpark favorites like hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, barbecue, and ice cream. A nice addition was seeing Skyline Chili. They serve up beer and soft drinks. You are paying ballpark prices, so keep that in mind if you're on a budget. The gift shops are well stocked and are super busy, especially if the Reds win. The restrooms are adequately filled with necessary items and are relatively clean. I can only speak of the men's room. We had fireworks after the Friday night game. A very nice show for sure which lasted quite long. Parking may be a challenge as there is no on-site parking. There are several lots and garages nearby. We actually parked in Newport and walked over. About a 20-minute walk, but it was free and near the police station, so we felt relatively safe. The on-site Hall of Fame is also a must-see. I'll do a separate posting of that. read more

My goal is to go to all 50 states and I am slowly finding reasons to go visit each one. For Kentucky and Ohio I picked a Reds game. We flew in for a day trip and caught an afternoon game against the Red Sox. It was hot and I was glad I booked the 'nose bleed' seats. 1. It was shaded. 2. It didn't look at the sun. and 3. It had an incredible view! The game was fun. The pizza from Larosa's was amazing! Way better than I expected for a chain pizza place. Locals beers were cold and delicious. Then after getting home and getting an email showing a picture of the whole ball park and I can zoom in to me. You can see what I am drinking the quality is so good. What a fun perk! I love this field. Absolutely beautiful! read more

We've been going to different baseball stadiums. My son has been to 10. We agreed that this stadium is awesome. The entry was great and hall of fame was interesting. The big downer for us was the cost of food and drink. $5.50 for a 12 oz water is greedy and unreasonable. Food was pricey and portions were small. Especially since we just came from St. Louis where water is free - they get top honors for putting the fans ahead of their wallet. But stadium is well laid out. read more

This pst weekend I had the opportunity to experience the Handlebar and Grille at the ballpark and it was the best time!!! First of all, you can't beat the view to watch the game.

All of the staff were attentive and courteous. While this was a private event it is the absolute best value for the price to go to a game and will most likely be the ONLY ticket I buy going forward.
