Highlights

360-Degree Views:

The best thing that one can ever see when they are at the Skywalk Observatory is the panoramic view of Boston. As far as the eye can see on a clear day, you can see even up to the Boston Public Library and up to the John Hancock Tower.

 

Top of the Hub:

The Skywalk is located right next to the Top of the Hub, a 52nd-floor restaurant that serves gourmet cuisine. It is an ideal place to have a meal and at the same time watch what is happening in the city.

 

Audio Tour:

The Observatory also provides an audio tour for free which describes the history of Boston while you are observing the view. This is a good opportunity to get acquainted with the historical background of the city and such significant events as the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution. 

 

Fenway Park:

From here at the Observatory, you will also be able to see Fenway Park, the stadium of the Boston Red Sox. It is a great way to enjoy the classic ballpark and all its splendor.

 

Features

Another advantage of the Skywalk Observatory is that it is centered around history and a learning experience. The audio tour provides a lot of historical information about the city and its history, important events, and monuments. There are also sections of the museum that are devoted to the history of Boston and thus it is a perfect place for learning for people of all ages. 

 

📖 Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit the Skywalk Observatory is in the evening because one can take pictures of the city during the day and at sunset. When the sun sets, the lights of Boston come on, and it is just as magical in a different way.
