What to do and see in Symphony, Massachusetts (MA): The Best Things to do
Walk the Freedom Trail the first time you visit Boston and you'll quickly get a sense of this coastal city's revolutionary spirit and history. But make sure you also explore some of Boston's fine museums (try the Isabella Stewart Gardner, featuring masterpieces displayed in their collector's mansion) and old neighborhoods (like the North End, Boston's Little Italy). You can't claim to have experienced real Boston culture, though, until you've watched a Red Sox game from the bleachers.

Conductor Keith Lockhart leads the orchestra at Symphony Hall and on the Charles River Esplanade.
Reviewed By Louminator
Awesome! I hadn’t seen/heard the Pops in 23 years and I was amazed. Keith and team went the extra mile with a phenomenal back up chorus. I was pleasantly surprised they made fun modifications to some Christmas classics like On the first day of Christmas. When they held up Tom Brady’s jersey for the 12th day the audience loved it. I plan to go every year now if I can. Very uplifting and beautiful. Keep up the great work!

Beethoven to open was delightfully playful and engaging. Tchaikovsky’s Fifth to close. The conductor’s passion for his craft shows through not only in him but in the way the ensemble responds to his cues. The cellos and horns sang through lifting up Tchaikovsky most beautifully. Being able to pay $25 dollars since I am under forty was a pleasant surprise. Regardless of the expense; the architecture, music, experience, and history make it worth the full price.

9. The Mapparium
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 900 reviews
Discover one of Boston’s hidden cultural treasures: The Mapparium! This world-famous, three-story immersive globe is one of the key attractions at the Christian Science Plaza and has been visited by more than 10 million people since it was constructed in 1935. While the map remains frozen in time, an LED-light and sound show invites visitors to contemplate how ideas continue to shape and re-shape our world.
Reviewed By Rahaal - Tampa, United States
Though the main attraction of the Mapparium is the walk through the the interior of the great glass globe, the building containing the globe is also worth exploring. It is full of Art Deco styled adornments within its classical atrium, one can easily spend time there waiting for the tour to begin. The Mapparium can only be explored as part of a tour, and photography is not allowed, but it is well worth doing the tour. Inside the globe one will see the countries of the world as they were known in the 1930's painted on glass panes which surround you in a 360 degree panorama. This unique structure also works like a whispering gallery, so one can hear and speak with others at the opposite in end despite speaking softly. This is a fantastic place to visit, I will not hesitate to explore it again when I return to Boston
