The Washington Wild Things have announced the team’s 2024 plans for their popular Kids Membership program, which features Kids Eat Free Sundays, where all kids 12 years of age and younger receive a free ticket and free meal at all Sunday home games.
Kids will have a chance to meet special guests, run the bases after the game and get autographs from their favorite Wild Things’ players.
Those who have previously registered their kids for the programs WILL NOT have to re-register their children for the program.
“Affordability for families remains at the top of our list of priorities. This program has made the ballpark a place they can stretch a dollar and visit multiple times a year,” said president and general manager Tony Buccilli. “Our themes and character appearances bring people together and break down the notion you need to be a sports fan to make memories at a baseball game.”
The schedule for Kids Eat Free Sundays is as follows. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. every Sunday and first pitch is slated for 5:35 p.m. except for Sunday, May 12, which is a 1:35 p.m. start, with gates opening at 12:30 p.m.
