About
Hallowed ground to baseball fans, this century-old ballpark is the home field of the Boston Red Sox. Fans often flock to Fenway Park to catch a game over beer and hot dogs—the game season typically runs from April through October. You might want to stay till at least the eighth inning to sing “Sweet Caroline” with the crowd. The stadium is also home to the iconic Green Monster wall, a 37-foot-tall left-field wall. Apart from games, you can join a year-round guided tour of the stadium to learn about the history of the sport and the team, as well as get a behind-the-scenes peek into the locker room. – Tripadvisor

    Red Socks Fenway Park History in real time
    My grandson and I had a great time learning about the team and the stadium. So many interesting stories and wonderful memorabilia to admire. The guides ooze with enthusiasm and pride. Well worth the time and effort.

    Loved it! In terrific shape for its age!
    My wife and I flew in from Seattle to see the Mariners take on the Red Sox for two games. We sat in the visitors dugout area both nights and the views of the game were awesome! But it seems there isn't a bad seat in the place unless you are behind one of the beams in upper part of lower levels. The concourse was very clean and the food and drink lines weren't bad at all. Plenty of restrooms and again lines weren't bad at all. I highly recommend seeing games at Fenway to any baseball fan.

    Do it!
    We decided last minute to go to a Red Sox game while we were in town. We enjoyed walking around the outside, wandering the inside, watching the game with the old school score wall, and visiting the merch shop. Very cool stadium, we just wish it would have been warmer!

    Great!
    We were visiting Boston for the weekend and decided to come to a game! Fenway Park was awesome to see I’m glad we came! I was a little disappointed in the food, it was nothing special and I was expecting more. Great stadium definitely worth a visit!

    One of a kind
    We took a Fenway Park tour, which we highly recommend. The park has a tremendous amount of history, and it may be your only chance to occupy the Green Monster seats unless you are on an expense account. We also saw a game while in town, and the experience is at least on a par with Wrigley Field in terms of feeling close to the action and a part of the crowd.

    Nostalgia Galore!!
    Socks were playing the Rays, and we lucked out with a Sunday game. Since we are from Florida it was a win win for us to attend a game. What a great experience. From the subway ride to the park, the feel of the stadium, and even the crowd excitement. All made the experience just superb. We were so impressed with how well the stadium functioned and we felt like we stepped back in time. What a great experience!

    Brilliant experience
    Fluked two tickets for the recent Friday night game between the Sox and the Yankees (Boston won 15-5). Absolutely superb experience: amongst the best sporting experiences I’ve had. Even saw a Grand Slam ! Might be getting hooked on Baseball now…

    Old but great!
    It really is a unique ballpark with the Green Monster, the distant centerfield bleachers, the many seats that don't face home plate, the cramped leg room, and the expensive (and not very good) food and drink. But I wouldn't trade it for any other MLB park! The fans are knowlegeable, and let their opinion of good or bad plays be heard. Hint: try why of the reselling ticket agencies before you pay box office price for admission.

    Amazing baseball experience
    I have been to lot of of baseball games across the country, and Fenway Park is my favorite. The oldest existing MLB stadium and it has so much charm. It actually doesn’t feel big…. feels warm and homey. We stayed just west of Copley Square and it was a quick 20 minute walk to the park……. I love how I didn’t have to Uber, take light rail, or drive. There are a ton of restaurants surrounding the park, which creates a fun party scene. We went to an evening game against the Yankees with young kids and felt very safe. Lines went quickly. Our seats were comfortable (there are some that are small/tight). Food inside the park is expensive. One negative, is there isn’t a huge variety of food options in the park. Plus, it’s expensive. I recommend you eat before or after the game in one of the restaurants across the street from the park. Some seat are can be problematic….. strongly recommend doing a quick google search on which seats to avoid. And of course, one of our highlights was singing Sweet Caroline….. everyone was so into it.

    Fun experience!
    It was fun and entertaining! The place was packed for the game, outside was also packed. Food inside is good but pricey. Vendors bring around hot dogs, peanuts, beer and other drinks. Staff was very friendly! Watch the Jumbotron you may be on it, so be prepared! A very fun experience!

One of my best trips to Fenway yet, The Red Sox ended up winning 6-4 in 13 innings with a walk off home run by Christian Vasquez. The food and drinks are pretty expensive but you can get good tickets for a fair price ($60-136 for decent seats.)
If you go to a game in the fall or winter make sure to bring a few layers so you don’t get to cold. Go Sox!

What kind of baseball fan doesn't visit a shrine like this. I am not a Red Sox fan but I can appreciate a throwback park. The stadium is not like the new ones which are built today but who the heck wants new? I want history, charm and no better place to get this than visiting Fenway. My first visit but not my last. Our seats were by the Penske Pole so to catch the action our neck was turned for the whole time but who cares it was fun. The concession stands were average but what the heck you are at a ball park, eat ball park food.
By the way, the fans in attendance were fun to engage with, it was fun to be able to check off another stadium from the bucket list of fan things to do and visit.

Fenway Park has a lot of history behind it. While we did not attend a game at Fenway, we did take an organized tour of the Park. It opened in 1912 and is the oldest active ballpark in the United States. The one-hour tour took us to the press area, the "monster seats" and many other areas of the ballpark. Our tour guide did an excellent job of explaining the history of the Park and the use of the Park for concerts, hockey, football, etc. over the years.

In addition to the tour, I recommend you visit the Red Sox store right across the street from the park. It is the largest souvenir store I've ever seen and covers an entire block. Red Sox memorabilia galore!!

I highly recommend a tour of Fenway Park if you visit Boston. Due to the scarcity of tickets available to see a game, this tour may be the only way you will ever see the park up clase as well as learn about its history.

Unless you hate baseball I can't imagine not enjoying seeing a game here - it's such a classic ballpark. As other users have noted, however, the seats are quite pricey compared to other parks but that's to be expected. I'd definitely recommend it for those who even remotely enjoy baseball.

I love the fact that Fenway is located in Downtown Boston - an easy walk from anywhere in the City. Fenway is more than a ballpark, it is a destination. With the opening of TimeOut in the neighborhood, you can now eat at a 5 Start restaurant before or after the game!

I had visited Fenway Park on a tour when I was young, but now finally made it back for a game with my son. We lucked out and saw that Green Monster seats were available from the Red Sox directly. They were still some of the more expensive seats in the building, but much much cheaper than what they were selling for in the secondary market. So we splurged, and I'm happy that we did. It's truly a unique experience to watch a game from up there.

It was an easy walk from the Back Bay neighborhood where we were staying.

My only caveat with the Green Monster seats is that unless you're seated in the front row, then the viewing experience may not be ideal. Our seats were in the front.

As a baseball fan, it's a must do experience. My son has a lifelong goal of seeing a game at all 30 stadiums. Out of the 7 he's hit so far, this one ranks #1.

We visited this stadium and we knew it has history like no other and had heard you are always guaranteed fun and action when you come to a ballgame at Fenway Park. The food is quite tasty and available at each and every corner you make. The prices are very reasonable but the thing that sticks out the most is the superior service from all the staff. Such a good team. Excellent job to everyone and a special thanks to the management for running such a well oiled machine. Why can’t all stadiums be like this?

We are on a quest to see a game in every ballpark. We had tickets for a night game but went over in the early afternoon to walk around the park so we could take in the statues and ambiance without a big crowd. My son said the seats in the park were uncomfortable and I reminded him they were made at a time when people were smaller (height and especially weight). This a must see if you are a fan of the game.

Somebody needs to tell these Boston fans to get a grip. You can't walk into this place supporting any other team without being heckled and threatened. There were bloodstains and sticky beer spills all over the floor. Boston lives up to its reputation.
