What travellers are saying
- Armando ASteamboat Springs, CO20 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.
