Acrosports was founded in 1993 by Sergey Zenov, a former circus performer and Soviet gymnastics champion, and Dorrey Huntington, the current Executive Director. Located in the old East Poly High gym across from Kezar Stadium, its transformation into a thriving sports center has been Sergey's labor of love.

Acrosports offers training in Acrobatics, Circus Arts, Capoeira, and Gymnastics. It has a decidedly "aerial" orientation compared with other gymnastics facilities. The kids love the way the teachers challenge them physically, and even the three year olds are introduced to the trapeze and trampoline.

Acrosports' Gymnastics classes are for children of all ages and levels beginning with Tiny Tots for children 18 months old with a parent. For accomplished gymnasts, expect class requirements of three times per week. In addition, children six and older can opt for a range of performance classes including circus, acrobatics, aerial arts and extreme sports (placement is by evaluation only). Acrosports also offers summer and holiday camps.

Parties: Acrosports opens for parties on weekends and evenings. You can choose from four packages. Each package includes time on the gym floor with instructors and time in the Sunroom for cake and presents.

Note: Offers lots of fun circus classes for adults, too.

The ballpark is one of the city's jewels. Located right downtown, it boasts a handsome brick edifice and seats that look out on the ballfield and across the Bay. At AT&T - formerly SBC - you've got the usual trappings of a ballpark - dogs, chips, soda pop, and spectators in forward-facing baseball caps - and so much more.

The food, for instance, doesn't stop at dogs and chips. Fans can choose from garlic fries, pizza, quesadillas, and portabello mushroom burgers, among other options. Many spectators plan on having lunch or dinner here because the food is so good. If you do decide to dine a la park, however, bring plenty of cash. A burger, fries, and drink can run $15.

Coca Cola Fan Lot is an interactive play area for children and adults. Fans of all ages can enjoy a slide into home plate from one of the four slides inside the 80-foot wooden Coca-Cola contour bottle; stroll up to the world's largest baseball glove, a vintage three-finger classic; get an autograph rubbing from some of their favorite all-time Giants; and kids can run the bases inside "Little Giants Park." On game days, visit the Giants InstaFoto booth to take home a special moment of your ballpark experience. The Fan Lot offers guests not only a great view of the game, but also views of the city's skyline, Bay Bridge and San Francisco Bay.

The problem is that seats are harder to come by than home runs. Tickets can be purchased at Tickets.com Ticket Outlets in Northern California, Giants Dugout Stores, at the AT&T Park ticket windows (games days only), or by calling Tickets.com charge-by-phone at 877.4SFGTIX.

Birthday Party Tour packages are available in the Fan Lot on weekends, when the team is on the road during June, July, and August, and most weekends Sep-May. The package includes a private "Behind-the-Scenes" Tour of AT&T Park for a group of 10 or more, as well as a sandwich box lunch with cupcake for $27 per person. Contact the Ballpark Tours Manager at 415.972.1852 for more information, or to make a reservation.
