Giants County Fair at McCovey Cove

(event)
$5 adult admission; kids 12 and under free

There’s no need to leave the city for the fun and games of a county fair anymore, thanks to the first ever Giants County Fair at McCovey Cove. With carnival rides, bumper cars and all the fundamental fair elements, your inner kid (or own kid) will be delighted. Featuring a ferris wheel, pie-eating contests and haunted houses. ‘Nuff said.

We can only hope Tres Agaves' bacon-wrapped hot dog will look like this.

In the past few years I've heard of other ballparks in America serving "gourmet" fare—sushi in Seattle, Cuban sandwiches in Miami, fish tacos in San Diego. At AT&T Park the food has historically been pretty standard—hot dogs, garlic fries, beer. But starting on Monday, opening day, there's a new game in town. Tres Agaves has taken over the three concession stands formerly leased by Compadres, so eating at the game is about to get a lot better. What's in store?

Dining around AT&T Park is an event in itself.

Dining around AT&T Park is an event in itself.Sure, devouring the Gordon Biersch garlic fries, Niman Ranch hot dogs and $8 pints of Bud is a rite of passage at AT&T Park, but these game-day eats can take a toll on your waist and wallet. Why not have a tasty meal at one of these seven neighboring restaurants, instead?
