While staying at the Marriott Copley Place they gave us two free tickets for this attraction - Well worth visiting! The views from the top of the Prudential Building are stunning! Great views of the Boston area, airport, barrier islands, and ocean. There's a cool exhibit below the top level that also provides excellent points of view for you to visit. They have a restaurant and bar up there too. Highly recommend stopping in here! read more

Love this place. It was like a ride at Disneyland. As you go up the elevator, the elevator car becomes a theater of what you would be seeing as you escalate to the top! The customer service was superb. It is quite obvious that a ton of Benjamins were invested in this project. When you enter the elevator, you shoot up to the 52nd floor (my ears popped). The top floor is all observatory. One side has interactive free-standing, 360 degree rotating computers that identify landmarks. The two lower floors are for observing as well but have a couple bars and food service. The drinks were in the same price range as the city. If your in town, I highly recommend this experience. read more

I'm an out of towner and this was our first and introduction to Boston. I highly recommend this and I'm really glad we checked it out. The view is amazing and informative for people like me who came all the way from Florida. It's really breathtaking to be so high and see all of Boston. There's also a really nice restaurant that we hit up that was a little pricey but we enjoyed the experience. Definitely a fun place to visit as a tourist. read more

A good experience. Probably good for a one-time visit if you are from Boston/live in Boston. Great views and very friendly/helpful staff members. read more

Great views to see the entire city. This was part of options with the Go City pass and we thoroughly enjoyed it. If afraid of heights safe to say this is not for you. Went during the day but I'm sure it looks amazing at night. read more

View Boston - Fenway from The View! Are the Drop Kick Murphys down there? - Observatories Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Situated in the heart of downtown on top of the Prudential Center, the View Boston observation deck provides an unparalleled vantage point, allowing visitors to admire the Boston skyline including iconic landmarks such as the Charles River and Fenway Park. With its floor to ceiling windows and open air deck, View Boston offers stunning views of the city, making it an ideal destination for tourists. We had a great time here. Aside from the observation deck my kids also enjoyed the projection-mapped 3D city model which was neat and there's also a bistro where you can get food and drinks as you admire the surroundings from 50 floors up. Overall, 5 stars! Undoubtedly cool destination. read more

This was the most amazing view I've ever seen!! It's a 30 minute drive from the airport and worth every minute. The food and drinks definitely had "a view tax" because it was a little on the expensive side for lunch. You do have to pay to enter but they have different ticket price points to choose from. We spent hours here and was well worth the price paid. read more

My experience at the view was amazing. The service was impeccable. Shout out my girl Destiny, she was truly an elite employee and made my experience 10 times better than it would've been without her.

Wow! What an excellent experience! I was very impressed with View Boston! We were only in Boston for a few days and View Boston was in walking distance to our hotel. I am SO glad we decided to come here on a Friday evening just as the sun was setting! This is an amazing 360 view of Boston! There was even a Red Sox game going on while we were there and we got a great view of the Fenway! You can spend as much time as you want walking around and checking out the view. There were also signs showing you where some of the most notable buildings are on each side. This is a must see in Boston and I would definitely go back again! read more

We had an hour or so to kill before our flight, so I decided to take my 3 year old to the View. My husband opted out as he thought the price was not worth it (especially since we had been to the Top of the Hub several times in the past). It was almost $40 for me to buy the base ticket, but my son was free. I don't think any of the more expensive tickets would have made sense to buy, as there was no line at all and the View was pretty dead at 2pm on a Sunday in early February. We spent about 40 minutes looking at the 360 views of Boston. We did not try any of the food or go to the bars, but they were empty. I wanted to buy an ornament on the way out in the gift shop, but there wasn't anyone around to check out with. As others have said: views are good, but it is overpriced and it would be helpful if they had more history of Boston and people or signs to show you what you are looking at if you are not familiar. Would I do it again? Probably not, but I had a nice time checking it out once. read more

Such a tourist trap. I beg anyone visiting Boston who actually wants to be immersed in the culture here to go to the Custom House tower instead for a much better view from a historical building. Locals would never go here. Only reason I was here was for a work event that was free and even then it was not worth the time. Absolutely zero effort to integrate Boston aesthetic or history in to the experience. You get shepherded around like on a middle school field trip; overpriced and feels poured out of a can into any city in America. read more

Beautiful views of Boston in every direction. Amazing service. There are staff everywhere ready to help and point you in the right direction. The lighting is terrible, it makes seeing out of the windows difficult. read more

Best views around! The pictures can't come close to grasping how beautiful it is up there. If you are looking for your favorite landmarks (almost all of them are there), looking for an excellent photo with your family, or just want to dine 50 floors in the sky, this is definitely the place!!! Absolutely stunning views up there! I highly recommend if you've got 20-30 minutes! Oh, and by the way, the model of Boston? Amazing! Definitely see it up there. 1000/10 recommend! read more

We love a good observation deck on a trip. This one was expensive at $37 something per person but we HAD to do it for those fabulous views! Strangely this place is in the middle of a mall! I recommend going just before dusk. That way you'll get daytime, sunset and night light views! You're welcome! read more

Incredible views of the Boston skyline at this attraction 52 floors up. Some of the dioramas are not positioned exactly in front of each viewing window but it's easy enough to figure out what and where you are. Disappointing that on the ride up or at the top, no staff or voiceover mentioned the open air floor on the floor below where we exited. Had we known that, we would have watched sunset from that vantage point rather than inside! Simple fix. Also, why aren't staff roaming around offering to take photos? This would seem to be the main point of paying so much for a visit. It was sad to see so many visitors begging others to take family photos. Park in the Prudential Center and follow signage to get to View Boston. It's near Eataly. read more

I went in with my girlfriend and ate at the restaurant. I ordered a pop and it was flat. I asked the waiter if she could get me a new one and I overheard the bartender said, "He can pour it his f-ing self". That sucked a lot. I don't know how bad your life and or job is that you have to go out of your way to say that. The actual viewing part was awesome though. Highly recommend the view part. The bartender had a man bun and brown hair I believe. Skinny ish build. read more

If you like city views, you'll probably enjoy this. From the top of the Prudential Center, you get a 360 degree view of Boston. It can be breathtaking to come here as a one time thing, but no more than that. I only spent about 30 minutes looking around until it started getting boring. The interactive neighborhood discovery tool was kind of cool to use. There is also a little lounge area with a bar so you can order drinks and chill. You can either purchase your tickets online or when you get there. read more

View Boston is a new attraction in the heart of downtown Boston located in the Prudential building, one of the tallest and oldest high-rise buildings in Boston. They did this right! There is one main inside viewing floor with sweeping views of Boston in all directions through floor to ceiling glass that soars at least 20 feet. Come about 30-45 minutes before sunset for the best views of the setting sun to the west. They sell drinks there as well so you can enjoy your adult beverage while experiencing spectacular views. The floor space is huge, and they have upper levels so if the main floor fills up you can still see by using the elevated platform. There is a full restaurant and bar on the floor just below the main, top floor. The restaurant bar has sweeping views to the west and great cocktails, priced for the view! This lower deck also has an outdoor platform that is huge. The day I went it was 20 degrees outside and the wind was howling, but I still could not resist going outside to see the amazing view. I will be rating this attraction with 5-stars. It is well worth visiting to see the city from this perspective. read more

A great time but a little pricey. I recommend watching their insta or Groupon for deals. The standard ticket is fine. The gift shop is ok but the restaurant is meh. The management is not helpful, leave the servers fighting for their lives. I would recommend other viewing points of the city before this one. read more

We went and it ended up being foggy and raining but it was still work the money. You have a 360° view of all of Boston on the 52nd floor and you walk down a flight of stairs to 51 for an awesome view on the outdoor open air patio and a bar. Then you have the shop and an a few really cool interactive things in that floor there too. This will be an amazing experience in nice weather. read more

An amazing experience!!! I've seen the advertisement that it was coming soon every time I was visiting Boston. This time I was perusing the mall and noticed that it was finally open! I made the last minute decision before my flight to go check it out!!! Was an amazing beautiful day and I enjoyed every bit of exploring the 51- 52 floors with 360 views!!!! read more

Finally the Prudential has opened the 360 degree view of Boston at the observatory. Registration and tickets begin inside the Prudential, near Eataly and Vineyard Vines. We booked our tickets online and in advance. It was a good experience for our city and they do indoor and outdoor experiences. They have interactive machines telling you the surrounding areas that gives you a brief history. At the end it leads you to a bar, a restaurant, and a gift shop. read more

If you can do it with a coupon or something then yes it's great. You can see the city from high up, after all. But it's pricey otherwise

New space at the Prudential Center to view all of Boston from above - think Edge NYC but in Boston! After absolutely loving our experience when visiting the Skydeck in NYC, we were ecstatic to find out that there was a new similar experience to have in Boston. I absolutely love Boston so my boyfriend surprised me with a trip here and it was absolutely incredible. Seeing the city from above is always a breathtaking experience and this was no different - it was so cool to see everything from above and I loved that there were little dioramas of the key sites in Boston. I also loved the screens which visitors can move and show different sites and landmarks as moved toward different directions - awesome in itself and even cooler that you could bookmark places you wanted to go to be added to a personalized Boston itinerary at the end of the experience. We also visited the bar one floor down which was really great and even had its own viewing deck on the floor. I was a little worried since I don't drink but the bartender made me a mocktail! So cute. Can't wait to come back here to see the city at night! read more

After checking out the Boston Public Library, we took a quick stroll over to the View Boston Observation Deck located in the Prudential Center. This was another item included in our Go City pass. If it hadn't been for the rain and cloudiness it would have made for a much better experience. Not much we could do about that though. There were brief moments when the clouds did clear out, but it didn't happen very often. As you might suspect, you get an awesome view of Boston from the upper level. There is also a restaurant, bar, gift shop, and exterior sitting area. There is also a mini movie showing off some of Boston's landmarks. There is also a large scale model of the city with some far out lighting effects. If only the weather had cooperated!! read more

Felt disappointed with our dinner experience. Cool sightseeing but the dinner was rushed, food was not good, and overall the experience felt overpriced. I would recommend to see the view, but don't have dinner there. Save your money and go to a place that will actually make you feel special. read more

View Boston exceeded my expectations. Finally Boston has an observation deck that can compete with some of the bigger cities. My experience at View Boston lasted over two hours and I enjoyed every minute of it. The staff was so friendly and approachable, and they were happy to help with any questions. I love that you're not being rushed out like some other observation decks make you feel. They even let you go back to the previous floors, in case you missed anything or just want to go back. There are three floors, plenty of great views, and a few interactive sections. There is also a bar, a restaurant, and a few spots to have photos taken... and the photos are free!!! read more

Wow I was so impressed with this experience! The view of Boston was fantastic and my group and I had fun trying to point out different landmarks around boston. Food and drink were solid as well. We stayed mostly on the open air floor. Would recommend coming here in the early evening on a clear day to watch the sunset and see the city come alive with lights. read more

Ruined date night. I wanted to take my wife out for a nice evening, have a cocktail on the outdoor deck before dinner reservations. "View" had a private event, so no outdoor deck. If you book a private event, LET PEOPLE KNOW IN ADVANCE BEFORE THEY BUY TICKETS!!! I think there were 100 employees working, but they all seemed more interested in chatting with themselves than actually helping customers. No one around to show folks where to go, signage was nonexistent or confusing. The restaurant bar was practically empty, but still took forever to get drinks and no followup for refills, even though there were 4 bartenders!? The entire experience was overpriced, overly complicated, and well below all the hype. We were so frustrated that we canceled dinner plans at another restaurant and just drove home. read more

Absolutely fabulous!!! My last full day in Boston, I spontaneously purchased a ticket to visit this new landmark. I have lived in this city for six years. I have commutes, shuffled my way through crowded streets, rode trolleys, buses, and subways around town. I have cycled, like, everywhere in this town. And now that I am about to leave, I discover Boston from the 52 Floor observation deck and my eyes welled with tears! Wow!!! As my visit started to wind down, I enjoyed a Grapefruit soda and warmed olives from the Sundeck, 51st Floor, Stratus restaurant. Lovely experience as I dined and viewed the city! I cannot recommend it enough. Whatever you do, do it, View Boston!! read more

The view is amazing... that's the easy part. But my my wife wanted oysters so I made a reservation ELSEWHERE.... BIG MISTAKE... One little trip downstairs to The Beacon with our guys, Brant and Thomas CHANGED EVERYTHING! Brant is a force of nature! Perfectly balanced cocktails with all the charisma and flair of a world class artisan. My wife and I literally cancelled our other plans and had THE BEST TIME right here!! read more

If you are visiting Boston and are tired of being gouged by high prices and disappointing facilities (I'm looking at you NE Aquarium) take the time to visit View Boston. The views themselves from the 52nd floor of the Prudential building were worth the $10 each it cost for 3 over 12s, and $7 each one 11 year old to enter on a cloudy drizzly day. Floor to ceiling windows wrap around all 4 sides. Go down a level and there's a restaurant and an outdoor deck. Go down another level and there are interactive displays. read more

As well rounded travelers, we've been to too many top of tall buildings for amazing view. We were short on time during our weekend trip, but we found out there was a sale for the admission price during Labor Day. So we're like hey why not? Thanks to the nice worker for the info! Entrance was on ground floor inside the mall, and were were scooped up to the 52th floor of the Prudential Center in a couple minutes. You are rewarded with 360 degree view of Boston. It was nice to see and point out all the places we just visited over the weekend. There's a bar on top floor where you can relax with drinks. Lotsa great photo ops and the bathrooms are clean! You can also scan your ticket code for some nice background pictures where normally other tourist spots will charge you for it. I thought that was a nice perk! read more
