- Armando ASteamboat Springs, CO30 contributionsFirst visit to Fenway Park and we were not disappointed in the slightest! Incredible atmosphere, great fans, great seat and the food wasn’t bad.
We sat about 20 rows up from first base side and paid a very reasonable price for them. Each vendor we encountered couldn’t have been friendlier.
The feeling of the history of Fenway was at times overwhelming!Written June 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The trail is very obvious and there are tons of free resources to explain each location (I used the NPS app.) A few of the sites have admission fees, but most are free. We had beautiful weather, so that helped. Boston was cleaner than I expected (and than most large cities) so that was a pleasant surprise. It is a bit of a hike, so wear comfortable shoes and take a seat when you can.Written June 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Trail665146776433 contributionsExcellent museum. We stayed 3 hours and still did not see everything. Tied together a lot of what we saw in Boston, Providence and Newport (plus a ton of other art and history information in addition).Written May 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shirley N6 contributionsA brilliant attraction, and interactive, and the café had plenty of room, lots to see and hear about the history of the Boston Tea PartyWritten March 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew T289 contributionsWent around mid afternoon. Overall 7.9/10, not a ton of flowers in bloom but nice green space area to walk around and enjoy the space, weather or people.Written May 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- michelle d3 contributionsSuch a great place to walk around and appreciate the historic buildings, eat some of the best food in Boston, and shop in the quaint little stores. With all of the amazing places to get coffee and baked goods, I wish someone would organize a coffee tour and a bread/pastry tour.Written May 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan CSanta Clarita, CA73 contributionsBeautiful building, worth a visit. Older sections were very hot but we enjoyed the architecture. Got a snack at the cafe, but the “gift shop” really isn’t a gift shop.Written June 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- judyg735Malvern28 contributionsWe spent 3 hours here and could easily have spent longer. Stunning setting and great use of video and audio clips to tell JFK’s story which seems super relevant to today’s world. The food at the cafe was also great (especially if you are vegetarian) and reasonably priced and the view from the windows back to Boston and over the bay just glorious. We visited on the anniversary of JFK’s birthday and charmingly all staff and visitors ate cake together beneath JFK’s inspirational words reproduced on the wall of the pavilion.Written May 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan CSanta Clarita, CA73 contributionsEnjoyed the Freedom Trail from here, though one of the two teens didn’t like all the walking.

- pattybiemSparta, NJ8 contributionsSam Adams BreweryTour is the best one we've taken! Tour guides Greg and Taylor are fantastic, entertaining, and informative.

- megang72491Saint Paris, OH44 contributionsI went to this museum with a friend. It was a wonderful experience. The tickets were well priced. There’s plenty of access to restrooms (which are very clean). The whole place in general was well maintained and clean. There’s plenty of staff around if there’s questions. It is a timed entry so probably best to get tickets in advance but when we showed up and just bought tickets we didn’t have a long wait on a Wednesday afternoon in June. We loved the history of Isabella Gardner herself and learning about her collection of art (and of course learning about the great 1990 heist). It is climate controlled. I could photograph the courtyard forever. It’s fairly large and there’s plenty of walking and steps involved (I did see an elevator though). There’s a gift shop although I didn’t go in so I can’t speak to that. I think anyone that appreciates art and history will enjoy. Everyone working there was super friendly and approachable.Written June 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LovesToTravel31Rocky River, OH125 contributionsIt’s free to visit the USS Constitution and its neighbor, the USS Cassin Young. Both are operated by the Park Service—you just need to go through a metal detector. There’s a 10 minute video in the visitor’s center that’s worth watching (plays at the top of each hour). Both ships offer an amazing glimpse into the past, and the dry dock is also worth a peek.Written May 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- YolieTampa, FL39 contributionsGreat place to walk and take pictures. The streets were clean. The street was unique.
The homes were beautiful in the area some of a hill to walk.Written May 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan CSanta Clarita, CA73 contributionsThe hall itself isn’t too interesting, with some touristy trinket shops, but if you’re in the area it’s worth walking through.Written June 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
