...reads, "25% safer than most other business cards." It's a little impish, yes, but also engaging, like the offbeat advertising campaigns dreamed up at Bogusky's Miami firm, Crispin Porter & Bogusky. That's the company, after all, that created the Subservient Chicken, Burger King's bizarre chicken-sandwich mascot.

Citizens Bank Park, right, in Philadelphia features a skyline view beyond center field, a promenade where Geno's and Tony Luke's offer their famous cheesesteaks, and the Phanatic Kid's Corner, where children can dress their own mini-version of the Phillies mascot. With a sandbox behind the outfield wall, San Diego's Petco Park is also kid friendly. Trolley rides to the waterfront park and the old brick warehouse in left field are among Petco's other charms.
