Fenway Park

Hallowed ground to baseball purists, this cozy, quirky park has been the Boston Red Sox home field since 1912. The most distinctive feature of this classic baseball park is the 37-foot-tall left field wall, known as the "Green Monster."

Fenway is one of the greatest places to see baseball how it is meant to be. Hot (or Cold) but close to the players and with an atmosphere unlike any modern stadium. Food isn't that great but that isn't why you come here.

These seven thousand acres span six Massachusetts cities and towns.

Came here in late Feb while visiting family and friends and there was still some snow from the previous week which made some of the rocks quite slippery, so make sure you wear suitable boots at this time of year as there was also a lot of water from melting.
The trail we used was great fun as it wound it's way between the rocks and there are some great views of Boston and the surrounding coast and countryside.
If you enjoy walking with a little rock climbing then this is a must when visiting the area.

I brought a group of >10 there last night. I was really impressed with the organization and high awareness of our group's needs throughout the night from several staff members. Amanda & Molly, our servers, were especially helpful and added some humor along the way. They were there when we needed them but not hovering...what more could you ask for.

The facility is very clean, very modern...hardly would know you were in a bowling alley, as the Kings design concept is clearly more-than a bowling alley.

Booking, ordering, and execution were all on point that left our group feeling like it was a relaxing and enjoyable evening. Extra kudos for dealing with dietary restrictions for the group as well with clarity & compassion.

Cinema De Lux

Reviewed By msga159 - Boston, Massachusetts

On a last minute plan my friends and I attended Beauty and the Beast at Dedham's Cinema De Lux at Legacy Place. The cinema is adjacent the free parking garage, so it is very convenient. I order tickets on line to avoid lines at the theater and so I can pick my seat.

The service at the Lux Level was great and attentive. Snacks and drinks were very good and priced reasonably. The quality of the chairs, sound, AV and cleanliness was outstanding.

Additionally, go see the movie! It is one of the best I've seen in years and I did not expect it.

Eustis Estate Museum

Reviewed By jakegreenville - Milton, Massachusetts

This property is maintained by Historic New England. The house is worth seeing because of the history, architecture, interiors and furnishings which include oil paintings by well known New England artists. The staff is helpful. There is a reception area with restrooms. The grounds are attractive. Overall a property that is worth a short journey.

Global Flight Adventures

In our new flight simulation center south of Boston you can be the captain of a top of the line Boeing 737ng simulator where every knob, switch, gauge and lever work just like in a the real aircraft. With an amazing true 220° multi projection vision system, it won't be long before you'll forget you are not really in the air! Our instructors are real pilots who will be happy to be your CO's

Reviewed By Leah C - Boston, Massachusetts

My dad tried out the 737 simulator at this location. He’s tried this at another location, but this place was definitely the best! The difference was even more than “night and day”. The instructor Alec was amazingly smart and a great teacher. He took the time to explain the reasons for every action. Will definitely be going back again! Me and my husband got to observe the whole flight too which was really fun :)

Thanks for a great time!

Really fun and affordable Ice Rink. Visited with the kids and they had a blast. The entry and rental fee was very reasonable and easy to navigate. They also have snacks and hot beverages. They even lent a hockey stick and puck to my son so he could play in the side area available. Make sure to check the public session hours as they are not always open to the public.

Strategic parking is paramount as the stores are scattered. Parking is limited so if the weather is poor, you'll be walking a lot or fighting for spots. If you know the stores you want to hit and where to go, you'll save yourself a lot of aggregation. Definitely more upscale than most malls

Trillium Brewing Company

Reviewed By biztrav123 - Avon, CT

I've usually stopped at Fort Point to pick up beer from Trillium on my way outta Logan, but decided to come here after visiting Tree House brewing, in Charlton. Worth the extra drive for me! They had a broad array of beers available in the tap room and, between us, my wife and I had 4 sample pours of 5oz.

Trillium is big on the IPA's...most of their volume is in a variety of IPA's...but they make great Stouts and gose. Their Trillwater gose may be the best I've ever had. Fantastic.

Large tap room, but not too much seating or even tables to lean on. Frequently has food trucks outside (a Felafel truck the day we were there). Lots of dogs...I don't understand the whole hipster bring my dog to a crowded taproom full of other dogs thing, but, hey, I guess that is my problem.
