Eden Prairie Community Education

Our Learning Through Baseball program provides an exceptional and unique educational experience from the one-of-a-kind classroom setting that is Target Field. Our knowledgeable staff conveys baseball's beauty through a fun curriculum, which adheres to Minnesota K-12 academic standards, that students will engage with and enjoy. The program includes a 90-minute tour of the ballpark and a 30-minute classroom learning session.

The game of baseball is loaded with the principles of science. In this tour and class, participants will learn about the energy efficiency of Target Field, the physics and science of baseball, and much more! There will be hands-on activities, such as reaction time, potential vs. kinetic energy, and the exciting opportunity to step to the plate and take a swing inside a major league batting cage! All classes are geared to meet the Minnesota State Standards.

At the conclusion of our tour, lunch will take place on the Target Field Plaza.
