A family trip to a MLB game is a rite of summer. And, if you’re heading to Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, you’re in for a real treat. The retro-style ballpark blends classic charm with modern amenities. And, thanks to the Orioles’ “Kids Cheer Free” promotion, you can bring littles to the park for free.
Beyond the ballpark, you’re just a short stroll from the bustling Inner Harbor, where you can explore the wonders of the National Aquarium or simply enjoy the lively waterfront scene. Here’s the information you need to access the “Kids Cheer Free” promotion, sponsored by Baltimore-area Chick-Fil-A restaurants.
Baltimore Orioles Offer “Kids Cheer Free” Ticket Promotion
The team’s popular Kids Cheer Free promotion means that every adult with a regular paid upper deck admission can “buy” 2 additional tickets for children 9 and under — for free! Talk about a win!
As a baseball-loving family, this season, we saw a Baltimore Orioles game, headed to Boston to see our beloved Yankees battle the Red Sox, cheered for the Giants in San Francisco and the Padres in San Diego and devoured all of the good eats at Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariners.

Going to the Game? Take Out a Home Loan!
These trips were never cheap. When you add up tickets for 5, parking, food, drinks and the inevitable souvenir, it is easy to rack up a vacation day bill of $300 or more! That’s why many families never get to see their favorite pro team but choose to attend much more affordable minor league baseball games.
But not if you go to Baltimore. About the “Kids Cheer Free” promotion, John Angelos, Orioles Executive Vice President, once said: “The Orioles are committed to sustaining the access for families from all walks of life to our great game, and that commitment is reflected in the Kids Cheer Free initiative and our many other family-focused programs.”
How to Get Free Tickets for the Orioles
There is a small catch to the program. You can’t just show up at the stadium with your kids. They must have tickets to enter.
Go to the Orioles Kids Cheer Free ticket link. To purchase – select your game date, choose your seats, and change the ticket type to “Child – Free” for any kids in your party. Proceed with your ticket purchase.
Kid-Friendly at Camden Yards
Other kid-friendly programs offered by the Baltimore Orioles include:
- A Kids’ Corner play space with food stands and lounge areas for parents
- Children ages 4-14 can run the bases after Sunday home games just like their favorite big leaguers
- The Orioles continue their budget-friendly policy of permitting guests to bring in their own food and beverages.
- Friday night music and fireworks.
Will Other Teams and Leagues Follow the Orioles?
I really hope that this program is so popular that every Major League Baseball team adopts it and that it causes a domino effect for the NFL, NBA and NHL. For too long, astronomical ticket prices for professional games have made attending one a struggle or totally out of reach for many families.
