Clinton LumberKings minor league baseball at Ashford University Field:
When our family moved to Clinton a few years ago, I was not a big fan of baseball. However, as we got acquainted with the Clinton LumberKings, that changed quickly! I might have never considered taking toddlers and preschoolers to a sports event, but Ashford University Field makes it so easy! My kids loved the playground equipment, bounce houses, and baseball themed carnival games on site; the complex is stroller-friendly; and tickets are very affordable either on their own, or through the many community partnerships that offer free tickets. A family can easily enjoy a night out for $20 or less. There are plenty of snack stations and picnic areas, conveniently close to the kid zone as well. The fireworks after several shows throughout summer are a special treat (check the schedule), and we found them not too loud/scary for our young children to enjoy while at the park. With all the community engagement, closeness to the field, and generally family-friendly atmosphere, it makes for a perfect summer evening, 'best of the Midwest' -type of experience.
Tickets (regular price) $5 students/ $6 adults/ $4 seniors
Check at local banks and retailers or ask around town for promotional free tickets
Birthday party packages available ($100/ 10 kids including ticket and kids' meal)
Bring sun protection for afternoon games, possibly bug repellent for evenings.
Games/ bounce houses may have a small cost (around $1/each); it's good to bring cash
