Field of Dreams Movie Site

Paula was amazing! She was our tour guide and she had all the details and all the facts. The house still has some very nostalgic pieces from the movie, the field has this feeling to it that is indescribable and the grounds are so beautifully taken care of. If you grew up watching Field of Dreams like I did, a visit is a must. I was able to spend a moment chatting with Paula after our tour was over she shared some personal sweet memories with me as I did with her. She said a few thing that stuck with me but one thing was about how this movie spoke things into the future. If you have not been don't sleep on this spot, it is worth the feelings you feel I promise.

Wonderful surprise stop - definitely meant to be as it was the last book I packed for this move/road trip. Beautiful land amazing location, thank you W.P Kinsella for the story… I only wish my son could have been with me to play catch with, (Oct. 13’25). Lovely friendly knowledgeable staff, thank you!

Beautiful country drive to get to this place. We were in the area and we couldn’t leave without seeing this cute baseball field. It’s winter and that means no corn :(. Will be back when there is corn around.

Only giving 2 because we drove out of our way to visit the gift shop- website said open 9am-9pm weather permitting. Everything was closed. It was a ghost town (no pun intended). While it was cold out- that shouldn’t have closed down the shopping experience. We are in the midwest- built for cold- if you are only open seasonally- please say so.

A little bit out of the way but well worth it. Very cool to see the movie site. And the staff were very helpful and friendly. Very much recommend.

Recently visited the Field of Dreams movie site, and it was such a great experience! I was almost too young to remember the movie, but now I definitely want to go back and watch it. Touring the house was really special — they show scenes from the movie filmed right there, which helps you make a real connection to the place. My favorite part was that it’s dog-friendly! We brought our golden retriever onto the field for some photos on the bases and even played a little fetch in the outfield — such a fun memory. The staff was all wonderful and welcoming. We happened to visit during a fall festival weekend, which made it even better. They’re in the process of building a big baseball and entertainment complex for youth sports, so I’d recommend visiting now before it really blows up with tourists. But it’s great to see them expanding to keep the magic of this place alive. After all… if they build it, you know they will come. ⚾️

If you love baseball its definitely should be on your bucket list. We went in October on a Friday evening and was almost the only people there. We spent almost an hour playing on the field, batting, play catch and walking in and out of the corn.

Attended the Tim McGraw concert and it was kind of fun in the cornfield. The problem was, the parking situation was terrible. The volunteer parking staff didn’t try and direct anyone they just let everyone figure it out so people were going everywhere. It took several hours to leave and was quite a mess. More traffic control, better routes, more entrances and exits, or maybe even a different venue would be needed to fix it. Food was national vendors, all which were card only and expensive. Wish they had more local options. You don’t go to a festival for cheap food and drinks so I get that. I think they could learn a whole lot from this being pretty new to them and it could be an awesome time. I would do it again but they need some improvement.

I wasn't expecting to get choked up and emotional, yet here we are. My grandpa played baseball and absolutely loved it, and the minute I stepped on that field I thought of him. I have actually never seen the whole entire film - I know, I know, it's gonna happen now - but I've seen enough clips through my life to know the plot and how it's the most famous baseball field in history. And it definitely is moving. Especially as you walk out of the corn. Such a cool experience, make sure you have $20 cash on you to donate to help with upkeep. I'll be back again one day for sure.

This was on the bucket list. We took the house tour with a wonderful guide and then played catch and took some swings with other visitors. One of the ghosts was available for pictures and to answer any questions. And what trip would be complete without walking in and out of the corn field to disappear.

So in heaven being able to visit here! It's perfect! Watching a baseball game in the middle of a corn field was crazy fun! Grabbed a beer as well. I recommend their corn lager!

Of you loved the movie, this is a must visit! Gorgeous setting rich with nostalgia. If you get to visit on a pretty day it is just amazing.

If you are a baseball fan, then you have probably seen the movie, Field of Dreams. If you are in Dyersville, IA or nearby for a baseball tournament, then you will probably be stopping here for some baseball activities such as home run tournament. In any case, if you are in the area, it is definitely worth stopping by to see the iconic field and tour the house used for filming. This is my second visit and first tour of the farm house. There is a donation to park and walk around. A separate charge for the guided tour of the farm house with added information about the film that you wouldn't get anywhere else. New to the site is a venue for receptions that can be rented. Little known fact, the actual farm house can be rented out to stay in! Price seemed very reasonable, and had I known this, I probably would have checked on availability for that weekend as we were there for a baseball tournament. Also, check out the Field of Dreams movie exhibit in Dyersville, called "If You Build It Exhibit" to get more background on the filming.

Growing up one of my favorite movies to watch with my dad was Field of Dreams. I spent the weekend in Dubuque, IA and on our way there I saw the exit for Dyersville. Dyersville, IA is where they filmed Field of Dreams. Needless to say I totally geeked out and had to make a stop. It was beautiful! It looked exactly like it did in the movie. I just walked around taking it all in. It was kind of surreal to sit on those bleachers and stare out into the cornfield. I really wish my dad could have been there with me. As I looked around all I could think about was a line from the movie "Is this heaven? No, it's Iowa" And it is beautiful! It was pretty cool to see people practicing on the diamond. There was also a little league that came out to take their team pictures in front of the house and the cornfield. I even walked through the corn field. I didn't see any of the players - just a lot of corn stalks. Of course you can buy all sorts of memorabilia while there and even pay to take a tour of the house. Tours were over for the day when I showed up.

Cool movie site for an Iowa legendary Hollywood production. The cornfield baseball field is AWESOME. Knocked it down a star because in the fall/winter the only part open is the merchandise store...no house tour and no restaurant either. Long drive just to buy some merchandise, but they've got some great baseball themed merchandise.

It was an awesome place for a concert. Getting out of the parking lot was a nightmare. It was a 90 minute process because the local police closed certain roads. Bring snacks and beverages to do a post concert tailgate.

This site is amazing. Being greeted by and listening to the history and making of the movie from one of the "ghost players" was the best! The house where the movie was filmed was open and more of the history and anecdotes were shared. It was a most memorable experience.

It was raining the day we went , which was a Monday, so really couldn't enjoy the entire atmosphere the site created for the movie. That said It's changed a lot from what was there in the mid nineties as much more has been added to the site and the building of a new ballpark to support annual MLB games and future concerts has really evolved this IOWA farmland. In one sense it's sort of sad how commercialized it's become however I guess they call it progress.

Went here with my mom and it was so much fun!! We did the farmhouse tour, ate at the concessions/ice cream stand, played baseball together on the field of dreams (!), and had a blast :)

Magical! Brought a tear to my eye. Not to be missed if you are a baseball fan or a fan of the movie. The field and house have been lovingly maintained and make the whole experience worth the drive. Everyone we met there was welcoming and gave us all the tidbits of information about the film and the set that made it even more magical. Thank you ... we will be back. P.s. very pup friendly, just keep them in the leash and clean up!

If you are in Eastern Iowa you almost have to stop here to check it out. There's a nice size crowd when we visited. Looks like there might be a reenactment of the players coming out of the cornfield done a couple of times a day which is pretty cool. Set to the music of the movie. They are brand new gift shop that has various souvenirs like shirts and baseball caps. There's a restaurant I think on site too we didn't walk in to check that out.

The website says open until 9pm, the front gate says 6pm. Made the long drive to be told they close at 4pm. There were people here. Would not allow into the store. But upon entering asks for a $20 donation. Extremely upset.

A must check out spot if you're within the area. It's a $20 donation and they only accept cash. There are baseball bats and balls on the field for anyone interested in hitting a few. They do offer tours or you're able to check it out on your own as you please. There's a few signs with information about the history of the movie. There's also a gift shop and a place to have lunch or a few drinks. Parking is minimal so try and get there earlier in the day vs 2pm or later.

Nothing way too outrageous here, but very nice that they have kept the feel of the field that was used in the movie and the movie house. Very nice that you can walk the field and sit in the bleachers, I was surprised by how much of a hill right field sits on. It would be very interesting to play a real game there with the light pole right in the middle of play. Overall, for someone who loves the movie if you are in the area you should not miss this.

"Is this heaven?" "No it's Iowa!" I'm going to have to slightly disagree with Kevin Costner here. While it is Iowa, Dyersville to be precise, I think it just may be heaven. Baseball lovers will rejoice at the Mecca for one of the greatest baseball movies made. Admission is free but they suggest a donation. Walk around the sacred grounds, enter the field and hit a couple balls, and explore the cornfields. The house tour will set you back $20 a ticket but the tour guide shares a wealth of stories and information. It was definitely worth the price. After the tour my husband and I sat in the bleachers and watched an impromptu game in progress. After 10 minutes they asked him to pitch and soon we had a game! You don't have to be a fan of baseball to enjoy Field of Dreams, although after spending a few hours here, you just might be converted. Like Brad Pitt says in Moneyball: How can you not be romantic about baseball?

Any fan of the movie or baseball will enjoy this site. You can walk through the corn fields and play a little baseball on the actual field. Staff was incredibly friendly

Such a cool place to visit. We went during the night ghost game. It was packed but super cool. It's free but they collect pressured donations as you pull in which is whatever. It's clean and well taken care of. Theres a gift shop and the new bar is super cool. They had food and drink there. The only bathroom I found was in the bar otherwise there are porta potties around. We took pictures in the corn and waited for the ghost players.

Nice get away to see an iconic movie site. Original field intact with a few new buildings off to the side. Tour guy says no plans to modify the field and MLB is now in charge of all things Field of Dreams.

If you love baseball, then you know this place is a cathedral. Make the pilgrimage. It's easy to find, easy to enjoy, and makes a memory that lasts a lifetime. Run the bases, sit on the small bleachers, fill your camera with zillions of photo ops...and, if you're there at the right time, disappear into the corn like the ghosts before us all. Pro tip: mid-July & August will have the corn at its tallest, tasseling and full, allowing you to recreate those cinema moments. The gift shop is commercial instead of charming, and the snack bar is clearly making margin. Parking could be muddy if the heavens gave Iowa some rain, but none of those things are why you're here. The Field of Dreams site gets every star I can give because baseball is part of the stream that irrigates my soul and the moments to throw the ball with my son on this parcel of earth is a true 'bucket list' opportunity. If you want valet parking, then just make a u-turn and go find a spa. Sure, baseball is just a game, but the Field of Dreams is a sliver of nirvana to anyone who just loves the concept of fantasy coming to life.

If you're a huge fan of this movie like me or even just a huge baseball fan, this is a must visit place. My husband and I did not go during peak season, so we had the whole place to ourselves. It was colder in February than it would have been had we come in Spring or Summer, but we wore jackets and beanies and were just fine. We took a lot of pictures and shopped at the store. The farm house is in great condition, and the property is well maintained. This was not a planned trip, so there is only one thing I would have done differently; I would have brought my glove and ball to play catch. It also did not matter to me that there was no corn field this time of year (late February), but that might matter to you, so plan accordingly. If you go during peak season, you will likely have a lot more people to navigate. Personally, I preferred having it all to myself.

Simple, great fun. It's so much fun to walk in the corn, throw a ball, sit on the famous bleachers etc. There is a concession stand that looked good but wasn't open for food due to the high heat this day. Watch the movie before you come - makes it even better.

Better than the movie. If you imagine what a baseball lover could conjure up in my wildest dreams, throw in some corn and gravel roads, you've got Field of Dreams. Movie sets are sometimes aloof, stuffy, guarded, pretentious, if you even get a glimpse from afar. Or pay high fees to imagine whomever standing where you were when not in their movie-star trailer. Not so at FoD. The memories come rushing back of diamond-days of yesteryear, mixing with the new memories you're building during the trip here. Baseball should be a game where all can hop on the field and pick up a bat or ball, and there was plenty of that going on for our visit. Just a line of kids and parents pitching and hitting. Back in the day you could hit a fly over shortstop and hit a power line. Now it's all MLB-like and a little more commercialized, but still a great experience. Yes there are touristy things to do and overpriced things to buy. Enjoy that if you will. My daughters were intrigued with the corn-wall exploration since we visited in late-summer. But then two seconds later they were bored while my son and I continued to play and keep the magic alive. At least the pink fire truck provided them an additional moment of distraction. Finally we were coerced into leaving (forced with "the look" from my wife), but we departed sadly, yet grateful, hoping to return another day in our dreams.

I actually had the cool privilege of going to the Sox game against the Yankees at the Field of Dreams. I always wanted to come here as a boy but as nostalgic as this place is, it wasn't as powerful as I thought it would be. The gift shop is definitely overpriced but it's definitely see a bunch of die hard baseball fans like myself make the journey up here. The movie site is well maintained and nobody is allowed to walk on it. It's fenced off and well reserved. Note: there's two stadiums!

My friend and I drove out here from a mini trip to Cedar Rapids. Unfortunately, there were some thunderstorms moving in, so we weren't able to go on the field. It was a bummer to not be able to see more of this site, but it's good to know that the staff take weather safety seriously.

Go to the downtown museum if you want a full experience. I'm an Iowa native who finally got around to taking a day trip with my family to see the famous movie site. The field and house were aesthetically pleasing to see as a landscape but it only took about 5 mins to take it all in. There is a gift shop on site, and I wish I could say that it was impressive but it wasn't. We weren't able to take tours of the house on the day we went, but based on other reviews, that's the redeeming quality of the site. I hope that in the future, more is done to make this location a novelty visit. My family ended up finding the museum downtown that had great displays and fun facts about the movie. I recommend adding that to your trip to the field for a full experience!

"If you build it, he will come." ... "Ease his pain." ... "Go the distance." And WELCOME TO MY 400th YELP REVIEW!! :-D :-D :-D For my quatro-centennial Yelp review, I picked a special place for the occasion. We recently had the great pleasure of visiting the Field of Dreams Movie Site! For my husband's 40th birthday, he requested a pilgrimage to the site of a film that for years has meant so very, very much to him, having also lost his father at a young age. We made the trek to Dyersville, Iowa all the way from Buffalo, New York. We were so lucky to sync up our trip and visit to Field of Dreams on the same day as the annual Ghost Players game! This happens twice per summer, but has not happened since 2019 due to the Pandemic. But this Greatest Show on Dirt was back in action this summer! The Ghost Players are a group of volunteers, many of who were also actually extras in the movie. They were traveling for many years to entertain our troops overseas and perform for other philanthropic efforts, but now mainly hold their show at the Field of Dreams. Their hilarious show includes crowd participation, and ends with an opportunity for autographs. Our 11-year old son was just TICKLED to have his Buffalo Bisons jersey signed by all of the Ghost Players, as well as a baseball we purchased at the gift shop. The players were so silly and friendly, and razzed each other and the crowd with such sarcastic expertise. We enjoyed chatting with them all! We were lucky to be at Field of Dreams during this fun event, but if you are visiting on a day when no events are happening, it is still an amazing attraction! There is of course the baseball diamond itself. Bring your mitts, bats, and balls, to have a catch. ;-) We tossed the ball around the outfield for a long time, and got to pitch from the mound and bat a few, too. Then there is of course also the corn. Take your time walking in and out of the corn, experiencing its mellow but magical atmosphere, unplug and just breathe it all in for a while, and then take lots of photos of it all, too! If you are able to be there at sunset, the colors in the sky over the corn are entirely breathtaking and otherworldly. And there is the house! The farmhouse from the movie is now exclusively used for tours. Visiting the baseball field and corn is free (a Terrance Mann $20 donation is suggested, which we paid), but there is an admission charge to tour the home. It was well worth it for my die-hard movie fan husband. The tour guide was fantastic, with many interesting factoids about the making of the movie. Plus your tour admission comes with a nice souvenir magnet. And while you are in the house, anything you can see is fair game to photograph. My husband and I took some pics on the stairs, reenacting the scene where Annie and Ray decide to send Ray to Boston to find Terrance Mann. Much of the furniture in the home has been re-envisioned as the set was dismantled after the movie wrapped, but there are a few authentic pieces, including the old 80s floor-model TV. Plus during the house tour you can walk the wraparound porch, and sit in the porch swing that overlooks the field. ("We didn't hear anything!") There are tons of photo opportunities outside of the home as well, with various signs and movie quotes placed around the site. Also at Field of Dreams is a souvenir shop. If you want to buy souvenirs, expect to drop some dough here. Teeshirts are $35 and up. Since this was the hubb's 40th birthday pilgrimage, we went a bit broke in the souvenir shop, but the tees and hats do all seem to be very good quality. The concession stand on the third-base line is also a must-stop for a dog and a beer while you're at Field of Dreams. ;-) Concession stand prices were actually fairly reasonable. The $8 for my husband's dog and a beer was fairly priced, and a must-do while we were here for him to complete the experience. We arrived at Field of Dreams at about noon, watched the Ghost Players game at 1pm, then played on the field, explored the corn, did the house tour, shopped for souvenirs, and had concessions which kept us busy having fun until after 5pm. We went into Dyersville then to eat dinner (a five minute drive), and came back to watch the sunset over the field after we ate. You may wonder how much time can you really spend at a baseball field in the middle of a corn field in the middle of nowhere, but it is not hard to make this an all-day event, and really soak it all up. So that is the bottom of the ninth on my 400th YELP REVIEW!! And what a review it was!! I will leave you with the immortal words of Terrance Mann that perfectly sum up why us, and so many others, still voyage to this baseball field, thirty years after Ray Kinsella first cleared the corn. "Ray. People will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. ... Oh people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come."

It was okay. Admission to the grounds is donation based. We arrived too late to get on a tour of the house so there really wasn't much to see. We donated $20 to look at some corn and a gift shop. There was a family playing a game of baseball on the field that was fun to watch but made it so we weren't able to step on the bases or check it out closer. I guess if you're a big baseball fan or fan of the movie it would be a cool experience but I probably wouldn't go again.

Magical. Let me first say, that you definitely need to be a fan of the movie to appreciate this at all. But, if you are a fan of the movie, Field of Dreams? You will love this. You can sit in the bleachers and imagine players wandering out of the corn field and into the game. You can have a catch. Go early in the morning and you can sit in the silence and magic that is Iowa farmlands. They also offer tours of the farm house. It's been as accurately restored as possible. Our tour guide (Craig) was interesting and engaging. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. There's a little gift shop as well where you can purchase baseball and Field of Dreams themed merchandise. Don't forget to donate at their donation station (located near the field) to help maintain the field and grounds. Turns out, it's true what James Earl Jones said in the movie... "People will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past..." Get to it!

I'm a huge fan of baseball and while the movie wasn't my favorite of all time about baseball, I did enjoy it, and I enjoyed going to the site where the film was made. It was nice to see the house and I loved being able to walk into the corn and walk on the field, and get some great photo ops. Marv Maiers told some nice stories about being one of the ghost players in the film. But everything soured when he described the legendary actor James Earl Jones this way. "I don't care whether you're black white, purple, brown or red, he was a really nice guy." Like what in God's name does that even mean. He was nice for a black guy? I could not believe what I was hearing. It was such a racist qualifier. And I'm not one to play the race card at all. Not sensitive about these things. But that was ridiculous. We did not need that disclaimer or introduction before he spoke about this legendary actor! He could have simply said the man was a nice person. It's 2024 and people are still saying things like "He was articulate for a black guy" or "Regardless of his race, he was really nice." Come on! In his attempt to sound inclusive, he just sounded out of date. Words matter. Do better!

Wow, what an experience and the opportunity to play catch with my son on the Field of Dreams is a notch off the bucket list. You do need to be a fan of baseball and be familiar with the Field of Dreams movie to deeply appreciate this experience, but anyone could somewhat enjoy the scenes of the site. You can enjoy the field at no charge. If you want to go through the home it's $20 for adult admission. The home in the backdrop of the field was sufficient to satisfy my nostalgia for the movie, but the inside of the house is as it was in the movie. They put up a 30' screen in the outfield and sitting in the outfield after dark watching the movie was a great experience. Even more so with fireflies doing there thing in the outfield and fireworks from distant 4th of July celebrations being seen in the distance. It was fun to be watching the movie and looking back toward the house and picturing where everyone was in relation to where I was seated. Just a great experience for a baseball aficionado.

Very cool and iconic set to check out. We made it out here just for this view of the field. My wife and I came to check out history as the movie took home numerous awards and made many children's dreams and lives. When you pull up to the site, you notice right away the field is kept immaculate. The house and barn are also there. The best coolest part was the corn stalks in the outfield. Legendary scene of the movie as the players walked out of the stalks onto the field. My wife, also enjoyed the set. I'd come back with my future kids one day.

If you're a baseball fan, this is a very special place to visit. Located about 25 minutes from bustling Dubuque, The "Field of Dreams" movie celebrates its 30th Anniversary this April, and I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the farm house, grounds, and baseball diamond. The farm house tour is fantastic, loaded with movie facts and fun nuggets, plus terrific memorabilia all around the interior. Hall of Fame autographs, items from the movie, and the farm house is completely intact as if the film was still happening here. Elevating the experience further is that the tour guide (on this day the absolutely terrific Clarence Heacock!) is dressed in a 1919 White Sox vintage uniform! It's a must-visit in the warmer months, whether for a game of catch on the beautiful Field that once had Kevin Costner tossing a ball with Joe Jackson, or one of their "Ghost Sunday" summer shows. They tell me that Ghost Players, wearing the vintage jerseys, emerge from the iconic corn field. I'm coming back when the corn is growing in the outfield, a truly iconic visual, and want to sit on the porch's swing like Annie and Ray did in the film. I stayed overnight in the farm house, an absolutely glorious experience full of nostalgia and a unique visit. Consult their website (www.fodmoviesite) for more info, but it was one of the best stays of my adult life. Loved the interior's nostalgic appearance, down to the oven, railings, and tables. They have a gift shop that includes apparel and movie-related items, priced fairly. Parking on-site. Really fun, glad I made the trip.

Well worth the drive. It was so heartwarming to see dads and their kids catching on the field. Bring your mitts! Great picture taking spots. Corn rows, bases, build it sign. Gift shop and snack shop. Suggested car donation $20.

A must trip for a baseball enthusiast. One of the best baseball movie was set on this very field. It is free to hang out and play catch on the field (although they do ask for a donation to maintain the grounds). It's really difficult to put into words what this experience was for me. This is a great father-son and/or family getaway. They have baseball type food on the third base side. They also have a store where you can gear up with shirts, hats, sweaters, or other items. I highly recommend that you make this trip.

A truly amazing experience, with the greatest tour guide I've ever experienced. Craig was born to do this job, some thing about the some of all of his knowledge and his delivery matches the ethereal nature of the movie, the location and the magic of it all. Definitely take the time to add the house tour to your visit and do the tour before you step on the field, it adds a context that will make you feel more like you are part of the experience of Field of Dreams. I had dreamed of visiting this place for years, always told myself I would never make it. I am truly glad that I finally made the time to travel to this seemingly inconsequential place. It was a moving experience.

We were not expecting to have as much fun as we did. This spot was amazing! We took a detour on our way to Cedar Rapids and so glad we did. We took the tour of the home of the movie site. Worth the money. The tour guy was very informative and full of fun details. When your done you can just walk the grounds and play, sit on a swing or shop in the gift shoppe. Only thing I would say about the gift shoppe was I thought it was very expensive. $38 for a t-shirt and ther memorabilia was very over priced. But the field and grounds were so fun. Check out our pictures!

I have been there several times over the years, still excites me. It is a great place to visit. When I plane to go I always watch the movie the day before. "If you build it they will come is so true" Every time I go I happily hand them 20 Dollars.

It was really neat to see. Two things there are no bathrooms only Porta potty's And the MC thought he'd take the time to become a preacher, and we spent an hour listening to him job

Perfect place for lovers of the movie or lovers of baseball. You really do get to step onto the field where the movie was filmed. Lots of kids and families playing baseball or catch while I was there. They have benches you can sit on (from the movie), where you can watch. There is a tour of the movie house as well. It was interesting and the tour guide was very knowledgeable! They have a gift shop and a food stand as well. I guess the only downside is they only have Porta Potty's, but they were clean.

Neat place, especially if you are a fan of the movie or baseball. As the signs say, the place is very non- commercialized. There is the house, barn, field and corn! That's it. They only have port a potties and they sell no food or water. There is a small stand for souvenirs. The Field of Dreams is located in a pretty remote area of Iowa. You travel on gravel roads to get there. However, the Field and surrounding corn fields were pretty cool. There were people playing pick up baseball on the field, it's a great family place! They do offer tour of the house and property for free.

I love my movies. Being from Iowa and a fan of the movie I have finally made it! Only took almost my adult life, but today was the day. Free. Drive up, park and take it all in. I got goosebumps as we took our seats on the bleachers. I smiled ear to ear as we wondered the field a little. Watched the kids play ball a little bit. People bringing gloves and balls with them to play a moment of catch. Didn't bring what you needed? No worries the souvenir shop has some. This visit was a surprise for me so I didn't have my glove so just watching and enjoying the joy of people playing was enough. People playing in the corn, and picnicking on the grass. The day couldn't have been more perfect weather wise. Bright well kept green lawn against the sharp blue skies. White fluffy clouds being rocked by the high August corn stalks. We opted to pass on the house tour but there is a donation box I highly recommend you hit to keep this place alive and beautiful.

Neat stop when driving through town! No charge and great for kids to get out and run off some energy! Cash concessions and portable toilets available.

If you're a movie fan or a baseball fan, either way, this place is worth checking out. I was there on a cold spring day before the corn fields are visible for the season, and it still gave me goosebumps. Our tour guide was outstanding - he knew every piece of trivia, shared fun facts, and answered every question. They're very generous in terms of allowing picture taking and running on the field. The gift shop had tons of neat paraphernalia. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I stopped by here a couple of Sunday mornings ago with my wife. We happened to be in the Dubuque area for the weekend and saw that the Field of Dreams was only a short distance away. Even though its been quite a few years since I have seen the movie, it's definitely one of the more iconic ones. So we made sure to make time for it and headed over. The field and the house are sort of in the middle of nowhere in Dyersville which makes sense if you think about it. It's free to go there and check out the field and walk into the cornfield. Many people bring balls, gloves and bats and I believe that you are free to play a pickup game if you so choose. It was great to watch many parents and kids playing catch and everyone seemed to be super friendly to everyone else. There is a gift shop also located at the field where you can buy souvenirs. It sells everything from shirts to shot glasses to Christmas ornaments and even has some ice cream for those extra hot days. Much to my surprise the prices of everything we looked at were reasonable. Since you are out in the middle of nowhere it would be so easy to gouge you, especially since the family that owns the field had to pay the movie company to use the name. The bottom line for me is that I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. I love that it is free to come here and that everyone we met seemed to be super friendly and happy to be there as well.

It's as simple as this: if you love baseball and the movie "Field of Dreams", it is well worth a trip to Dyersville. (Not worth it if more than 2-3 hours out of your way, but worth it if you're in Iowa.) The field and house look exactly like the movie. If you have kids (or a baseball player in your group), you can play on the field. It costs $20 to tour the house. Again, if you love the movie, it's worth the $20. The house tour guide is Clarence, who's very good. (I think he should tell people he's Archibald Graham - he's got the build of Frank Whaley and the face of Burt Lancaster. And the White Sox uniform!) The tour is maybe 30 minutes. Good info about the movie, and just awesome to be inside the actual house where most of the movie was filmed. Take lots of pics. The one disingenuous part of the tour was the picture of the woman who "owns" the house, and her whole story. While she may have an interest, the property is now owned by an investment group, which includes Wade Boggs. They are apparently planning on building multiple fields and a training facility. That would absolutely take away from the charm and authenticity of the entire experience!! Just saying.

If you are a fan of the movie this is a must stop if you happen to be nearby. We are on our way to suiox falls from Duluth and decided to make this stop. The nostalgic feeling you get cannot be described accurately if you are not a baseball fan. Anyway I would recommend a stop.

An hour and 50 minutes into my 2 hour drive to see the Field of Dreams, I realize that there will not be any corn field backing up the baseball field... Ugh! If you have to visit and can plan ahead come during the corn season. Oh well, it was a long drive from Madison to get here but it was fun to check off the list. There really is not much else to see out here. It's a baseball field.
