“We’re transforming Day Air Ballpark, located in the heart of the Water Street District, into a winter wonderland filled with activities for guests of all ages. Extending the use of our facility well into our off-season from baseball games,” said Dayton Dragons President and General Manager Robert Murphy. “Another fantastic way to continue to bring the community and families together in Downtown Dayton.”
Children will have the opportunity to meet and have their photos taken with Santa. In addition, kids can write letters to Santa, participate in a scavenger hunt, play carnival games, and create their own ornaments. Families can also ride the North Pole Express and enjoy plenty of “Elfie Stations” located around the ballpark including a 44-foot-tall Christmas tree.
Deck the Diamond guests can put themselves closer to the light show by circling the field’s warning track, allowing for an immersive light experience. Please note that Day Air Ballpark features a fully wheelchair-accessible 360-degree concourse, allowing you to enjoy the entire holiday lights experience with ease. However, the field access, which includes the North Pole Express Train, is not accessible.
Day Air Ballpark will also have numerous areas available for groups, families, and companies of any size to celebrate the holidays together including luxury suites (heated indoor suites), the NEW Diamond Club, and more!
