Spring training has a funny way of rewarding the prepared.

I’m not suggesting you pack your Type A personality on your trip to Fort Myers, but you also don’t want to miss the big stuff. Like eating. Or finding shade. Or seeing your favorite ballplayers up close. 

That’s why Twins Daily created our Ultimate Minnesota Twins Spring Training Guide, and that’s why we just updated it. Consider it your 2026-ready field manual—tightened, refreshed, and upgraded with the stuff you only learn by being there, because we want you to love Twins spring training as much as we do. 

The biggest change is that we leaned into specifics for the 2026 season. No more needing to Google when the Hammond Stadium Open House or “Minnesota Day” is: you’ve got the specifics. Also, since 2026 includes the World Baseball Classic, we’ve provided additional tips on the best time to visit. 

We still have other activities you can do in Fort Myers, besides attending Twins games, and we now have additional tips on baseball-related activities when the Twins are out of town, including which road games are the easiest trips. But maybe even better, we’ve added tips about the best ways to watch your favorite players when they aren’t on the road trips. 

Of course, that also means updating our favorite restaurants and haunts away from the ballpark, especially in downtown Fort Myers, which is experiencing a bit of a revival. Since many of our readers are craft beer lovers, we are also keeping tabs on our favorite breweries, including the release of a new Twins D-Ale-y Pale Ale and “Beers with Beat Writers” event at Palm City Brewing on February 27th.

Best of all, the updates won’t stop today. Like our favorite baseball team, we’re committed to improving over the next few weeks. So check back often and leave your comments so we can get into Major League shape. See you in Fort Myers.
