Wrigley Field

Wrigley Field is filled with traditions and curses, as well as a team that once suffered from the longest dry spell in US sports history. Travelers can purchase tickets to one of the Cubs' 81 home games between April and September, and serious baseball fans can take a 90-minute guided tour through Wrigley Field that goes through the clubhouse, dugouts, and press box on non-game days during the season.

You can also get a bird's-eye view of Wrigley Field by taking a helicopter tour of Chicago, or combine a visit with stops at other Chicago sports landmarks as part of a sports tour.

• Daily tours are conducted rain or shine, so dress accordingly.

• Game-day tours do not enter the player clubhouses.

• Wrigley tours are wheelchair accessible, but some areas have limited access for guests in wheelchairs.

• The Budweiser Bleachers are arguably the most fun place to enjoy a Cubs home game.

• Purchase Wrigley Field tickets online or at the on-site box office.

Set in the residential neighborhood known as Wrigleyville on the North Side of Chicago, Wrigley Field is located at the corner of W. Addison and Clark streets, just a block from the Addison stop on the Red Line and a short walk from the Belmont, Sheridan, and Southport stops. The 21 (Clark Street) and 156 (Addison Street) buses also run right by Wrigley Field, but may be rerouted on game days.

The best time to visit Wrigley Field is during baseball season, which runs April to September—and into October if the Cubbies are making a playoff run. Arrive well before game time to experience the atmosphere in Wrigleyville, where Cubs fans pack the bars surrounding the field.

Chicago fans were the longest-suffering fans in baseball until 2016, when the Cubs finally won the World Series for the first time in 108 years. The Cubs had last appeared in the World Series in 1945, when local Billy Sianis allegedly cast the "Curse of the Billy Goat" upon the Cubs after he was refused entry into Wrigley Field with his pet goat. The team wouldn’t make another World Series appearance until their championship win in 2016.

Public guided tours of Wrigley Field run 75–90 minutes. Offered on non-game days, visitors will see the Press Box, Visitors’ Clubhouse, Premier Clubs, the Cubs Dugout, and the field itself. Private VIP tours and educational tours (schools, camps, etc.) are subject to different durations and itineraries. Tours can be reserved online and should be booked in advance.

Whether or not Wrigley Field is worth a visit depends on your interests. But for anyone who can appreciate sports history, pop culture, and all things Chicago, Wrigley Field is a must-do for any itinerary—it’s an icon of the Windy City and one of the most beloved ballparks in the country.

Most visitors take the L train to the Addison St. stop—from there, Wrigley Field is just across the street. In other words, park near any L train station and take the CTA Red Line to Wrigley. Otherwise, you might luck out on non-game days and find metered parking near the stadium, which sits in the Lakeview neighborhood.

Yes, photography is permitted on Wrigley Field tours—both photography and videography are permitted (and encouraged). That being said, any footage you take should be for personal, non-commercial use only. In other words, feel free to load up your socials with images and videos of you exploring Wrigley, aka the Friendly Confines.

While guided tours sometimes vary in the spots they show visitors, tour-goers will usually get a chance to see the press box, the Visitors’ Clubhouse, the Cubs’ clubhouse, and the Cubs’ dugout, and they’ll get a chance to literally step onto the field. As the second-oldest Major League Baseball stadium in the country, there’s lots to learn and explore.
