Great Hearts Day Returns to Chase Field with the Arizona Diamondbacks

Great Hearts is excited to announce the return of Great Hearts Day at the D-backs, a popular tradition for our Arizona academies that brings together families, faculty, and friends for an unforgettable night of baseball. This year’s event takes place on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at 6:40 p.m. MST, as the Arizona Diamondbacks take on the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chase Field.

Families can secure exclusive discounted ticket packages, making this the perfect opportunity to enjoy a Major League Baseball game alongside the Great Hearts community.
