Minute Maid Park

Minute Maid Park is downtown at Crawford St. and Texas Ave. Home of the Houston Astros, the baseball stadium seats 41,000 and features a retractable roof which can close in 12-20 minutes. Guided tours begin adjacent to the natural-grass field in Union Station, a renovated train terminal built in 1911. A 25-percent-larger-than-scale replica of an 1860s steam locomotive runs some 800 feet along the low roof track on the west side of the ballpark. Pregame tours before Astros home games are offered as well as daily and other specialty tours.

Note: Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Guided tours are available. Food is available. Time: Allow 1 hour minimum.
