What it's known for
During the fourth inning, costumed mascots of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and others race around the warning track. For years Teddy famously never won, and the race is still a fan favorite.
The ballpark helped transform the Navy Yard neighborhood, which is now full of restaurants and bars along the riverfront. From the upper decks you can see the Capitol dome.
Getting there
Take the Metro Green Line to Navy Yard–Ballpark station, a short walk from the stadium. Parking nearby is limited and expensive.
Tips for your visit
- Watch for the Presidents Race in the fourth inning.
- Combine your trip with the museums and monuments on the National Mall.
- Baltimore is about an hour away by train, making Camden Yards an easy add-on.
