Wrigley Field opened in 1914 and is the second-oldest ballpark in the major leagues, after Fenway Park in Boston. Home of the Chicago Cubs, it sits in the North Side neighborhood that took its nickname — Wrigleyville — and is woven into the city's identity. The ivy-covered brick outfield walls, the iconic red marquee, the manually operated center-field scoreboard, and the rooftop bleachers on the apartment buildings across the street are all part of its legend.
Guided ballpark tours take fans behind the scenes into spaces closed on game day — typically the dugouts, the field's edge, the historic clubhouse areas, the press box, and the seating bowl — while guides recount more than a century of Cubs history, from the long championship drought to the 2016 World Series title. Exact tour routes change depending on the season, events, and whether the team is home, so the specific stops and availability vary.
Because access and scheduling depend heavily on the baseball calendar, tours are most freely available outside game times and in the offseason. For baseball fans and architecture-of-sport enthusiasts, it's a rewarding stop and a reason to explore the North Side; pair it with a meal or a drink in Wrigleyville. If you'd rather see a game than tour the empty park, that's a separate ticket through the team.
What to Expect
Format
Guided walking tour of the ballpark, led by a guide, into behind-the-scenes areas closed on game day. Routes and stops vary with the schedule.
Best Time
Outside game times and in the offseason, when access to the most areas is possible. Availability tightens sharply during homestands.
Duration
About 1.5 hours of walking; wear comfortable shoes.
Tips
Check availability against the Cubs schedule — tours are limited or rerouted when the team is home. This is a tour of the ballpark, not a game; if you want to see the Cubs play, buy game tickets separately. Pair it with food or a drink in Wrigleyville to round out a North Side outing.
⚡ Quick Picks
Best For
Baseball fans and anyone drawn to historic sports venues — Wrigley is a piece of American sports history.
Families
Great for kids who love baseball; the behind-the-scenes access (dugouts, field edge) is a thrill. Less compelling for non-fans.
Couples
A fun outing for a sports-minded pair, especially combined with a Wrigleyville meal.
Pair With
Wrigleyville's bars and restaurants, and the North Side neighborhoods, make a natural pairing — it's away from the downtown core.
Time Needed
About 1.5 hours for the tour, plus time in the neighborhood.
