North Little Rock is home to the Arkansas Travelers, a minor league baseball team.

It's time to take the family out to the ballgame! The Arkansas Travelers are kicking off their 2017 season on Thursday, April 6 at 7:10 p.m. against the Corpus Christi Hooks.

The team's 11th season at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock will be full of delicious treats, fireworks, entertaining mascots and so much more. 

Tickets for individual games range from $6-$12 depending on seating. Games feature fun regular promotions including $1 hot dogs and $3 college student admission on Wednesdays, "Zoosday Tuesdays" when the zoo brings animal visitors to the park and baseball bingo.

The full schedule is available here and tickets are available online or at the box office.

Worried that your little ones won't make it through a full nine innings? Have no fear — the Travelers have you covered with lots of fun activities at the park.

The popular Kids Korner debuted four brand-new inflatable attractions during the 2015 season, including a bounce house, obstacle course, and slide. The main attraction is a custom bouncer in the shape of Otey--kids can jump on the swamp possum’s belly! (Admission to the Kids Korner is $4 and includes unlimited play during the game.)

There is also a trackless train that drives through the concourse for the entire game and rides are free on Mondays. Older kids can check out a small arcade behind home plate.

The Travelers' season goes through early September so there's plenty of time to fit a few games in this summer. Pro tip: sit higher up in the bleachers to stay in the shade during the hot and sunny summer months. 

Now who's ready to play ball? Let's go Travs!
