Valley Strong Ballpark — Local services in Visalia

I believe it's the smallest professional professional ball park in the country. Clean but the food is over priced. It's a single A park with slightly under MLB prices. Don't expect anything big. It's bigger than a high school baseball stadium but small than other single A parks. If you want the atmosphere of local baseball it's great but if you want the feel of a major park go see the Grizzlies up in Fresno. Used to be home to the Visalia Oaks but now is home to the Visalia Rawhide. Be sure to check the weather before heading to a game because it can be hot.

Which for the price is a better deal than their $3 bottle water. Also they do have group and business offers, which can include a meal. They offer them for different sections including box seats and special seating. They also have fireworks after...

Honestly the minor league games, especially from my vantage point where I was seated, was so much more engaging then to pony up for the major league ones. You can literally see all the action before your eyes without so much as turning your head.

My seat in the second row (row F) of section 209 (so second level, nearer the visitor dugout) had one of the best full views of the stadium. The 100 level sections are said to have a little less legroom, and I'm more than happy with being higher up. For this game in the regular season, only $14 for the seat ($2 online fee) was amazing. Plus apparently they have discounted tickets for less if you look around for their special days.

I will say the fly-balls going straight up over you is a bit unnerving, but they're easier to spot after the sun goes down. Call it an occupational hazard for viewing the game.

In all, this is the way to enjoy...

Went for a home game. The speakers didn't work so we couldn't hear anything the announcer said. I waited almost an hour for 2 very overpriced meals watching the kitchen staff move with zero sense of urgency, and then the order was wrong. An official ballpark advertisement playing on repeat on the outfield screen had a non-existent date on it. We ended up leaving early. Oh yeah and last time we went, we waited over half an hour in a very short line for a literal snow cone. I know they're extremely difficult to make but it still seemed a little excessive. Literally everything has been a...
