These “Do Not Open Until” bags are one of our favorite road trip traditions. I fill them with small toys from the dollar store, and they always give the kids something fun to look forward to during long driving days.

TIP 2

Many stadiums also offer First-Timer certificates for kids for free! Be sure to look this up on the team’s website in advance so you can see where to pick one up.

Look for kid-friendly souvenirs to commemorate your trip. We started a tradition at the first stadium (and continued with each game) of getting Sawyer a pack of baseball cards and Grayson a mini brick man of the team.
