I arrived without a ticket 10-minutes before a game and was able to catch "Thunderstruck" as the game was beginning. I found the staff members very friendly and affable. Finding our seats was easy and even though we sat in the 500s our view was good. Bathrooms are ridiculously clean for a ballpark. There is easy water refilling stations throughout the concourse which made our visit on a hot day easy. The food options are tremendous as well. I can see why RF has a great reputation for food. The actual field and board are also great. I am really happy I visited with my kid. I only wish I could visit more.

I returned for our first White Sox outing in, wow, 4 years already. The stadium now goes by Rate…read moreField, although I had gotten used to calling it Guaranteed Rate Field. Pope Leo has also apparently brought some luck to the South Side, and the Sox are in 1st place. In some 60+ years of watching Chicago baseball, I came to this park for the very first time that I can recall with the Sox in 1st place, woot woot! I'm still sticking with a 5 star rating for Rate Field with the main reason being that good tickets here are very reasonably priced and available for a family outing, unlike at Wrigley Field. I bought 7 tickets for our family outing and only paid $29 per ticket on StubHub for right field upper deck section 522, row 3. They were nice shaded seats, that I picked by design, for a hot sunny day and pretty good seats also. You can hardly get 7 seats together at Wrigley Field on a weekend and it would cost a small fortune as well. This isn't a knock on Wrigley but more a result of Chicago simply being more of a Cubs town than a Sox town. Nevertheless, let us not forget Rate Field for having a nice Chicago baseball outing and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also heartening that Rate Field offers a complimentary First White Sox Game souvenir certificate and booklet package for kiddos like ours making their first game here. It certainly helps that the Sox are winning these days, and this year they have 3 players making the 2026 AL All-Star team, namely 1B Munetaka Murakami, 3B Miguel Vargas, and CF Tristan Peters. They're the big surprise team in the Majors this year, and I really don't know how they did it after losing a record breaking 121 games in 2024 and 102 games in 2025. On this Sunday they handily beat the Oakland A's 9-1 and completed a 3 game sweep. Go Sox, and best of luck for the rest of the season!

I was there for today's 10:35 am game with the New York Boulders, they play night games and day games, and sometimes 10:35 am on a weekday morning, they only have won more weekday 10:35 first pitch for this season and that is tomorrow morning with the same team, and they have games in August at home.

It just about is as close as you can get to Indiana. Beach of course is the best part about here. The rest of the park has some gardens and hiking trails. Either in summer or winter it's a beautiful place for hanging. It has a few big parking lots. There's plentiful parking meaning it's usually easy to find somewhere. Beach is the most notable feature. This goes along a few miles. Certainly it isn't always pretty around here. There's some ugly old factories, including those across the lake in Gary, but besides that it's beautiful mostly. Be warned about the nuisances here, which include birds and bugs. It's especially bad in the summer.

A mom-of-two's (a toddler and preschooler) straight-forward review -…read more Pros: 1) The playground is vast with various activities that applies to younger and older children - climbing ropes, bridge, rock climbing wall, various slides, zip line, monkey bars, etc. My younger daughter is 2.5 years old and love walking across the bridge. There are ropes to hold to but the little daredevil in her would just run across so it is important to be watchful of the child and be sure they won't trip and fall through the ropes. 2) The whole playground has a rubbery ground so it is very comfortable and safe. 3) There is a splash pad in between the toddler and older children sections. I am uncertain when it actually turns on. We have been twice, once at 9 AM and a second time at 3:30 PM. It was on in the afternoon and several kids were running in and out of the splash pad. It's a great option to have when it's hot and sunny out. 4) There are six tennis courts nearby and this works out perfectly for our preschooler to squeeze in a tennis session with her daddy before or after the playgrounds. Cons: 1) Not a con at all - But the playground is so vast that I can barely capture the whole frame in one picture!
