Their parents or guardians must purchase a ticket for themselves and for any children who will be attending this event. To register, the email associated with the parent or guardian’s Pokémon GO account must match the parent or guardian’s email address on file with Niantic Kids or Pokémon Trainer Club.

When you purchase your ticket, you’ll select which habitat you’d like to start your day in. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to visit all four habitats during your event day! This choice will not have any permanent impacts on your gameplay.

Pokémon GO Tour is ADA compliant, including accessible entrances and restrooms. Power outlets for recharging mobile devices will be located at physical PokéStop-shaped chargers inside the venue. For more information on accessibility accommodations, visit the Information Booth during operational hours. Services offered at the Information Booth include, but are not limited to, the following.

• Answers to questions specific to the ADA access program
• Information relevant to our patrons with disabilities

If you encounter a guest with a disability who has any access questions or needs assistance, please direct them to the Information Booth.

Please be considerate of all Pokémon GO Tour attendees. Never ask the nature of a person’s disability. Never push a mobility device or wheelchair unless asked, but you can help clear crowds as appropriate.

A patron requiring insulin is allowed to bring their medically necessary materials and medications as long as all medicine has a prescription label with the patron’s name. Out of concern for the festival staff who handle the trash, patrons are expected to dispose of medical waste and syringes in the proper disposal located at the Public Safety Building adjacent to Gate B inside the stadium or the medical area on the golf course. These locations will be designated on the event map provided prior to the event. Please do not dispose of these items in other trash bins at the event.

If additional support is required, please check in at the medical area.

The venue grounds are ADA accessible, but please be aware that this is a venue with distance between attractions. The length of the experience is about 1.3 miles. Please be mindful that this is an outdoor event where most travel is over natural terrain and pathways. If it rains, there could be mud in some places. Pokémon GO Tour 2025: Unova does not provide personal care, golf cart rides, or push services of any kind or wheelchairs for rent or loan. Guests should make arrangements in advance if a wheelchair is needed and plan to bring attendants, if required.

Motorized vehicles, such as Segways and golf carts, are not allowed.

Accessible toilets are available throughout the venue.

Pre-paid ADA parking is available within the park on a first-come, first-served basis. Accessible parking is based on first-come, first-parked. Once accessible parking lots fill, patrons are directed to the closest available general parking area. In some instances the closest available parking for accessible parking is on grass.

Patrons with a state-issued accessible parking placard or license plate will be required to present upon request the accessible identification/registration card that is issued to the person. Rose Bowl Stadium honors out-of-state accessible placards and identification/registration cards to gain access to accessible parking.

Accessible parking spaces are located at several locations within multiple lots around the venue. ADA and Access Vehicle drop-off and pick-up at the Rose Bowl Stadium and in the Arroyo Seco is located in the northeast corner of Lot I of the Rose Bowl Stadium parking lots.

Please reference the parking information above for more information.

There will be one merchandise booth located within the event area that will sell Pokémon GO Tour–exclusive merchandise to attendees while supplies last, which includes two different colored T-shirts, a hoodie, a tote bag, and a lapel pin. There will also be one merchandise booth for preorder pick-ups.

To save time in line, you can preorder your GO Tour merchandise when you purchase your ticket. If you’ve already purchased your ticket, you can go back and add merchandise to your order while supplies last.

Be advised that the merchandise shop is cashless.

There will be an Information Booth located within the event. Stop by to get answers to your questions, receive registration help, learn about our accessibility plan, return found items or look for lost items, and learn more about Pokémon GO!

Security guards will be located throughout the areas of the event to provide assistance. If additional assistance is needed, find the nearest security staff or call 1-1-0.

Plan Ahead and Prepare

• Think about what you bring. Choose reusable bags or totes for your supplies and souvenir items to help eliminate plastic bag waste. Avoid buying single-use items and disposing of them while in the venue.

Stick to the Path

• While playing, make sure to stick to designated paths and avoid any areas that are closed off. When vegetation is trampled, there is a greater chance that weeds will grow back in its place or nothing will grow back at all. If everyone taking part in Pokémon GO Tour strayed from the path, it could severely impact our host venue, so help us take care of the park by sticking to dedicated paths and trails.

Pack It in, Pack It Out

• Our goal for Pokémon GO Tour is to leave the venue better than we found it. As much as possible, things you bring into the venue should leave with you, too. For other waste, Pokémon GO Tour will have trash and recycling stations around the host venue for your use. Even leftover biodegradable materials, such as food scraps, should be disposed of in a compost bin. Though these items are biodegradable, they are not native to the host city and can create an eyesore for others. A general rule of thumb is to ask yourself, “Would this be here if I weren’t?” If the answer is no, then the best practice is to pack it out with you and dispose of it properly.

Keep Wildlife Wild

• Observe wildlife from a distance and never feed them human food. Animals can become dependent on leftover food or trash and become aggressive as a result. By sticking to paths and not approaching wildlife, you avoid stressing animals or damaging their habitat.

Leave It as You Find It

• If each visitor picked a flower, collected a rock, or didn’t properly dispose of waste, then the natural habitat would be depleted. Leave the venue and city as you find them to protect the habitat of plants and animals, as well as the outdoor experiences of millions of visitors. Even better, with the help of fellow Trainers, we can leave our host city better than we found it!

Garbage/refuse collection and disposal is ultimately the responsibility of everyone. Any and all refuse generated must be properly disposed of in receptacles located throughout the venue. Please dispose of your trash in the correct receptacles, as notated by signs.

Service animals will be permitted inside the event space with proper credentials. Service animals include guide dogs, signal dogs, or other animals that have been trained to provide support to a person with disabilities. Any other animal poses a threat to the health and safety of others and will not be permitted inside the event space.

No outside food or beverage will be permitted with the exception of two factory-sealed water bottles. There will be a variety of food vendors on-site.

Water fountains and hydration stations to refill water bottles will be available throughout the golf course and Rose Bowl Stadium.

The event will have food vendors that will be able to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dietary needs. Please visit the Information Booth for a full list of vendors and further information.

The event will take place rain or shine. Please dress appropriately for weather conditions. No refunds will be given due to inclement weather.

Please reference the Visit Pasadena site here for more information on what to do while in town.
