Heading to an Orioles game? Oriole Park at Camden Yards has been one of baseball's most beloved ballparks since it opened in 1992, tucked into downtown Baltimore beside the historic B&O Warehouse. This guide covers how to get there, where to park, the bag rules, and how to make a day of it around the Inner Harbor and Federal Hill.
Where it is
Oriole Park sits at 333 W. Camden Street, in the Camden Yards Sports Complex in downtown Baltimore — a 10–15 minute walk from the Inner Harbor and just north of M&T Bank Stadium. The warehouse-lined Eutaw Street promenade runs alongside the ballpark and is open to ticketed fans before and during games.
Getting to Camden Yards
Light Rail (easiest, no parking): Baltimore's Light RailLink has a dedicated Camden Yards stop right at the ballpark. It runs from Hunt Valley in the north to BWI Airport and Glen Burnie in the south, so you can park at a suburban station and ride in.
MARC train: The MARC Camden Line ends at Camden Station, steps from the gates (weekday service). From the Penn Line, get off at Baltimore Penn Station and connect via Light Rail or rideshare.
Driving: From I-95, take I-395 north straight into downtown and follow signs for the stadiums. Traffic and lots fill up fast on big nights and weekends — leave early.
Rideshare & walking: Uber/Lyft drop-offs are routed to designated zones near the complex; expect surge pricing after the final out. If you're staying near the harbor, walking is often faster than driving out.
Parking
The Maryland Stadium Authority operates several lots around the ballpark and warehouse, and there are dozens of private garages and surface lots across downtown within a short walk. Prepaid parking is usually cheaper and saves time at the gate — check availability and pricing in advance, as rates vary by opponent and day. Street parking downtown is limited and metered; read the signs carefully.
When to arrive & gates
Gates typically open about two hours before first pitch (earlier for the Eutaw Street gates). Arriving early is worth it: you can walk Eutaw Street, see the Orioles Legends statues in the picnic area beyond the bullpens, and beat the security lines. Always confirm the exact gate time on your ticket or the team's official schedule.
Bag policy & what to bring
Camden Yards limits the size and number of bags you can bring, and maintains a list of prohibited items. Travel light — a small bag or none at all clears security fastest. Because the policy and allowed dimensions change from season to season, check the Orioles' official A-to-Z ballpark guide before you go.
Food & drink at the ballpark
Eutaw Street is the food destination: Boog's BBQ (run by Orioles legend Boog Powell) and a proper Maryland crab cake are ballpark traditions. Inside you'll find local beer, Old Bay everything, and the usual ballpark staples. Look for the bronze baseballs embedded in Eutaw Street marking where home runs have landed.
Best bars & eats nearby
The blocks around the stadium and up into Federal Hill are packed with pre- and post-game spots — sports bars on Washington Boulevard and along Cross Street, plus crab houses and breweries toward the Inner Harbor. Expect a crowd on weekend game days; reservations help for larger groups.
Accessibility
Oriole Park is fully accessible, with accessible seating, entrances, and restrooms throughout. The Camden Yards Light Rail stop and nearby drop-off zones are level with the concourse. For specific accommodations, contact the Orioles' guest services ahead of your visit.
