Dodger Stadium is an essential visit for baseball fans and a worthwhile 75-minute tour for its mid-century architecture, Dodger history and hillside views. It works best when you avoid driving: use the free Dodger Stadium Express for games, or book a non-game-day tour for a calmer visit.
Use the Union Station Express
For games, ride Metro to Union Station and take the free Dodger Stadium Express, which begins about 2.5 hours before first pitch and avoids US$40–45 parking and severe vehicle queues.
MoreBook games through the Dodgers
Buy single-game tickets through the Dodgers’ official ticket page and use its SeatGeek link for sold-out dates; ticket prices vary by game and section, so select your exact date before comparing seats.
MoreChoose a tour outside baseball season
Book the 75-minute Standard Stadium Tour for field, dugout, press-box and trophy-gallery access, or the approximately two-hour Clubhouse Tour for behind-the-scenes spaces on selected non-game dates.
MoreArrive early with a small bag
For games, arrive 45 minutes before first pitch—or 75–90 minutes early for giveaways, weekends and rivalry games—and bring only a clear bag under 12 x 12 x 6 inches or a small non-clear bag under 5 x 8 x 2 inches.
MoreDodger Stadium is the 56,000-seat hillside home of Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Dodgers, at 1000 Vin Scully Avenue in Chavez Ravine, just north of downtown Los Angeles. It opened on April 10, 1962, after the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn in 1958 and spent four seasons at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum; Walter O’Malley built the privately financed park as the franchise’s permanent Los Angeles home. Its six-tier mid-century-modern bowl is cut into the hillside, creating signature views toward downtown, the San Gabriel Mountains and the Hollywood Sign; it is MLB’s third-oldest continuously used ballpark and its field is branded UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium.
This is an essential visit for baseball fans: a remarkably intact early-1960s major-league park with pastel seating, Dodger and Vin Scully history, Centerfield Plaza, mountain-and-skyline views, and a particularly dramatic sunset-to-night-game atmosphere. Non-fans can still get value from a stadium tour, which may include the press box, trophy gallery, dugout, warning track and views. Skip a game if crowds, vehicle queues, costly parking/concessions, sun exposure, ramps, or reliance on a shuttle/car are deal-breakers; a non-game-day tour is better for visitors focused on architecture and history.
Before you go
Buy assigned-seat single-game tickets through the Dodgers’ official single-game page: https://www.mlb.com/dodgers/tickets/single-game-tickets. Prices vary by opponent, date, section and demand, with no fixed published adult price. Tickets are mobile in the MLB Ballpark app. For a sold-out game, use the SeatGeek link reached from that official Dodgers page rather than an unverified seller.
For Opening Day, Yankees or Giants games, postseason, Friday/Saturday games and major giveaway nights, buy when tickets are released; do not count on cheap last-minute seats. For lower-demand opponents, official SeatGeek resale inventory may fall in price on game day. The Dodgers had not published a 2027 public on-sale date when checked; monitor the official single-game page rather than assuming Christmas availability.
Yes. Book a guided stadium tour at https://www.dodgerstadiumtours.com/tours/stadium-tours. The standard tour lasts 75 minutes and can include the field, dugout, warning track, trophy gallery and Vin Scully Press Box, subject to operations. Select a date and time in the official booking engine to see the current price and availability; no fixed adult rate is publicly posted.
Choose the 75-minute Standard Stadium Tour for a first visit. Choose the approximately two-hour Clubhouse Tour for the clubhouse, bullpen, interview room, weight room and batting cage; it runs on selected non-game Fridays through Mondays: https://www.dodgerstadiumtours.com/tours/clubhouse-tours. On game days, the 45-minute Pregame Tour and roughly two-hour VIP Tour require a separate game ticket and, if driving, separate parking; book them at https://www.dodgerstadiumtours.com/tours/pregame-tours or https://www.dodgerstadiumtours.com/tours/vip-tours.
For Standard, Clubhouse, Jackie Robinson and Botanic Garden tours, enter at Gate A, park in Lot P, and go to Top of the Park near the team store. Arrive 15 minutes early. Pregame and VIP tours start at the Left Centerfield Gate; use Gate E for early entry and arrive 30 minutes early.
Use Metro to Union Station and board the free Dodger Stadium Express if you have a valid game ticket. Buses leave Union Station’s west end near Fred Harvey/Alameda Street about every 10 minutes from 2.5 hours before first pitch and drop at Centerfield gates. Return service starts after the seventh inning; the final bus leaves 45 minutes after the last out or 20 minutes after a postgame event.
