Dodger Stadium
The historic Chavez Ravine ballpark, one of MLB's most scenic, with mountain and palm-tree backdrops.
The call
Worth it if you're traveling with kids and you're traveling as a couple.
Short answer
Is Dodger Stadium worth it?
Dodger Stadium deserves a place on most first itineraries. Go early or reserve ahead. Crowds are part of the cost.
The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.
Why
- 01
A quintessential LA summer night — a beautiful mid-century ballpark with sunset views over the hills, Dodger Dogs, and a passionate crowd.
- 02
The catches are the famously brutal parking and traffic getting in and out, and that it only delivers in season, so timing is everything.
