Wrigley Field Tour
Behind-the-scenes tour of the 1914 ivy-walled Cubs ballpark in Wrigleyville.
The call
Worth it if you're traveling as a couple and you're traveling solo.

Is Wrigley Field Tour worth it?

The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.
Why
- 01
For anyone who loves baseball or old architecture, walking the dugout and the ivy of the second-oldest MLB park is a real thrill, and the surrounding Wrigleyville buzz is part of the package.
- 02
The catch: if you're indifferent to baseball, the tour is a slow hour, and far better to just catch a game than to tour an empty stadium.
