As a lifelong Yankee fan, I loved hearing and seeing all about the Yankee legends. Monument Park was truly amazing, as was the trophy and memorabilia room. The best part for me was to share this experience with my grandson and my son-in-law, who both loved the tour and getting to see their first Yankee game! I highly recommend the tour for anyone who is a Yankee fan or a fan of baseball.
the tour was incredible - for anyone who is a Yankee's fan or fan of baseball, this is for you
Treated my dad to a Yankees game with tour but the tour sucked. The guy just dumped us at the bleachers where the players were having batting practice. No one came for us. The “tour” was early access to stadium, museum and monument park. Not worth paying for…
We were kind of rushed through the exhibits because the gates were opening soon. Perhaps they shouldn’t have had such a late entry time. But we enjoyed seeing the museum and monument park.
The tour is basically a way for them to charge extra to see the Yankees take BP. The Hall of Fame and Monument Park are both open to the public once they gates open so all you’re really getting is access to BP.
The tour leader was knowledgeable and kind, but the game-day tour just took us to the guest suites level and talked through the photos the Steinbrenner family curate for the guests. I've been on several other ballpark tours that take you through different levels of the stadium, to the press area, to the clubhouses, and even a view from the field. I understand clubhouses and field access are restricted at most parks on game day, but this tour really only explored the suites, so it felt like a marketing ploy rather than a real inspired tour of the grounds. The museum was also closed when we went for a private party, and so we didn't do much a game-day ticketholder couldn't do on their own. It felt like a waste of time and money.
Pregame Tour Guide should have and use a microphone so all guests in the group can hear. Guide was good and used loud voice but couldn't be heard unless you were very close and group was too large for everyone to be close. Time in the museum was too short to be able to see everything, although we were told we could come back later. Time at the memorial was adequate to see it.
Uber dropped us off at Gate 4. Got a little Bronx cheer from the workers there who told us to go to Gate 2 rather than 6 at the Hard Rock entrance. It did not overdelay us and the gentleman who led our tour (430pm Thursday 6/22) was stellar with stories and pacing. I am sorry I don’t recall his name, because he was great. Then, German sucked and Boone sucks bc he should’ve pulled him earlier. But the tour was awesome, the museum was amazing & monument park brought tears to my eyes 5 stars
We loved our tour. It was my sons birthday. Everyone wished him a Happy Bday. While he didn’t get a ball watching warm ups he was thrilled to see Gerritt Cole so close up. All our dogs have been named after Yankee greats so it was cool to take pictures w their numbers in monument park! Lou, Mo, and Yogi!
The tour was enjoyable, but most of the time was spent watching batting practice, trying to catch fly balls. The entrance commentary was very hard to hear due to blaring music and the size of our group, then we walked to the museum which was very interesting, on to the exceptional Monument Park, then batting practice where we watched from the outfield. It was nice to enter the stadium before the crowds. This is a very casual tour, but very relaxing and fun for serious Yankees fans!
