Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the Braves or simply enjoying getting to know the game, here’s our team recap with everything there is to do at a Braves game to ensure you have an unforgettable experience.
Located in the heart of Dunwoody, Perimeter Mall stands as a bustling hub within the Perimeter Area, offering a variety of shopping experiences tailored for Braves fans. For those seeking authentic sportswear, Champs Sports is a go-to destination, stocked with everything from hoodies to jerseys. Nearby, Lids specializes in stylish baseball hats, perfect for shielding oneself from the sun.

Perimeter Mall isn't just about shopping; it's conveniently located near the stadium, making it an ideal spot for pre-game preparations.

Along with these amenities, there are excellent transportation options like MARTA and Uber to ensure seamless access to the stadium, enhancing the overall Braves experience.
Parking can be a dreaded task when going to any sporting event. This can be even more difficult if you go to a weekday game where only half of the parking spots are available due to neighboring business hours. Follow our lead: The Discover Dunwoody team took an Uber to the game. In anticipation of the game day traffic, Ubers are plentiful and can pick you up within minutes. This 20-minute car ride goes by like a flash when you’re amping up for game day with your friends. Get dropped off right outside The Battery, an outdoor shopping and dining center, and enter through any gate.
Truist Park, the home of the Atlanta Braves, is a modern marvel. The stadium boasts impressive architecture, comfortable seating, and a myriad of top end amenities to enhance the fan experience. Take some time to explore the concourse before finding your seats. The variety of food at this stadium could fill an entire blog of its own but we’ll give you the quick rundown.
Baseball is synonymous with hot dogs and beer so make sure you grab these classic snacks available on every level. If you want something to keep the kids busy and have a souvenir to take home, order the dip ‘n’ dots served in a Braves baseball cap. The H&F classic burger is pricy but also a gourmet local favorite. For those looking for another Atlanta favorite, try anything from Fox Bros Bar-B-Q or Superica, you won’t regret it. We’re only one of two Garden & Gun Club restaurants in the country specializing in the popular magazine’s take on Southern cuisine.
After you’ve stuffed your face, take a walk around to burn off calories and discover everything Truist Park offers. Check out the Braves Authentics: From the Game store where you can purchase signed memorabilia from all your favorite players. Walk through time at the Monument Garden as you learn the history of the Braves team. Did you know that the Braves have sported more than 25 different jerseys since their inception in 1871? You can view them all at the stadium while learning other interesting facts about this incredible team. If you find yourself looking at a massive conveyor belt of jerseys, then commemorate your experience with a customized jersey at the Custom Shop.
If you’re attending with kids make sure to stop at the Sandlot Kid Zone for some incredible hands-on activities. Enjoy experiences such as rock climbing, ziplining, or carnival games. This is a perfect spot to take restless kiddos who struggle with sitting down for a few hours. Look for a game on Sunday when kids get free access to these activities.
