Getting here
Where it is
The Salón Tricolor is on Level 1 of the Estadio Monumental de Caracas Simón Bolívar, in La Rinconada (Coche parish, Libertador municipality), in the south of Caracas. The ballpark shares its grounds with the Poliedro de Caracas arena and the La Rinconada racetrack.

The closest station is La Rinconada, the southern end of Caracas Metro Line 3 (the line that starts at Plaza Venezuela).
Coming from Los Teques? The Los Teques Metro meets the Caracas Metro at Las Adjuntas (Line 2); from there, change trains to reach Line 3.
By train
Next to La Rinconada Metro station is the terminal for the commuter train from the Tuy Valleys.

Accessibility
The tour
The Salón Tricolor is on Level 1 of the ballpark. It is a walking tour, one way only, through 9 stations, in about 45 minutes.
If you use a wheelchair, a walker or a stroller, or need help getting around, let your guide or the staff know before you go in.
Light and sound
There is no natural light in the hall. Some stations have moments of darkness, changing lights and loud surround sound, such as the celebration of out number 27.
If you are sensitive to light or sound, or have photosensitive epilepsy, tell your guide before the tour starts.
Virtual reality simulators (zone 8)
The hitting and pitching simulators are played with virtual reality goggles. Manufacturers do not recommend them for children under 10; the staff will confirm the minimum age for this simulator.
Check with your doctor before using them if you are pregnant, have ever had a seizure or epilepsy, have a heart condition or another serious medical condition, or use a pacemaker or other implanted medical device. They are also not recommended if you get motion sickness easily, have balance problems, are very tired or have been drinking alcohol.
If you feel dizzy, nauseous, get a headache or eye strain, or feel unwell in any way, stop and take the goggles off. The simulator is optional: you can stay with your group without playing.
