About the event
Join us on Tuesday, April 28th, 2026 for a fun, engaging, and educational field trip experience centered around a baseball game between the Heartland Hawks and Lake Land Lakers. First pitch is scheduled for 11:00 AM, with gates opening at 10:00 AM, giving students time to arrive, settle in, and enjoy the ballpark atmosphere.
Education Day is designed specifically for schools and educators, blending learning with live sports in an exciting, memorable environment. It’s the perfect opportunity to reward students, reinforce classroom concepts, and enjoy a unique day outside the classroom.
