Fun to see the city from this point but nothing else to do unless you come after 3pm. No food or drink before 3p. Not advertised as such when booking.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback—we’re glad you enjoyed the views of the city.
You’re absolutely right to call out the timing around food and beverage, and we understand how that could be frustrating if it wasn’t clear when booking. Our bar and food service do open later in the day, and we’re actively working with our partners, including Viator, to make sure those details are more clearly communicated so guests can plan their visit accordingly.
While food and drink are part of the later-day experience, we aim to provide plenty to explore throughout the day, including our indoor and outdoor observation decks and immersive exhibits that help guests discover Boston from a new perspective
Leslie_T, May 2026
Not only do you get 360 degrees through the glass, there are balcony views outside as well which I wasn’t expecting at all.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for such an enthusiastic review—we love the energy!
You’ve actually mapped out the perfect way to experience View Boston: starting at the very top for that first panoramic “wow” moment, then making your way down to the open-air observation deck, and finishing with the indoor exhibits. That’s exactly how to take it all in.

Definitely a must see when in Boston. Centrally located and closed to lots of shopping centers. We enjoyed our time here. Thank you.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience—we’re glad to hear you enjoyed your visit.
We agree the central location is one of the big advantages of View Boston, with easy access to nearby shopping, dining, and many of Boston’s key attractions. It’s great to know you were able to make the most of your time both at the deck and in the surrounding area.
We appreciate you visiting and hope to welcome you back again soon!

Obviously the weather does impact the views but it did stop raining before our assigned time. The views were okay with no one (four other visitors) on the observation level.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback—we really appreciate you sharing your experience.
You’re absolutely right that the weather can play a big role in how the views come across, and we’re glad to hear the rain cleared in time for your visit. On clearer days, the visibility and overall experience can be quite different, so we always hope guests get to see Boston at its best.
It’s great to hear you were able to enjoy the space with a quieter atmosphere as well—having a bit more room to take in the views can be a nice upside.
We appreciate you visiting and hope you’ll consider coming back on a bright, clear day for the full experience.

Really fun. Kids are 10 and 12 and had fun identifying buildings around the city. Took my 7 and 4 year old grandchildren the week before with their Dad on a gorgeous day and they loved it. The video in the theater should be in a Boston welcome center or more heavily advertised. Sell some good food and more people would go up.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review—we’re so glad to hear your family enjoyed the experience across multiple generations!
It’s wonderful that your kids and grandchildren had fun spotting and identifying Boston’s landmarks from above—that’s exactly the kind of interactive, memorable moment we hope to create for guests of all ages. We also love hearing that you’ve been able to experience View Boston on different visits and different weather days.
We appreciate your feedback on the theater video and food offerings as well. Suggestions like yours are really valuable as we continue to improve how we showcase Boston and enhance the overall guest experience.
Thanks again for visiting—we hope to welcome you and your family back again soon!

Fantastic views and fun for little kids. We took our baby up and he loved pointing at all the buildings and cars driving on the roads bellow.
The miniature diorama of the city was super cool as well.
Jordy_R, Mar 2026
The views from the top of the Prudential Center are amazing! We got there around 6:15 pm And stay till about 7:15ish. On this day the outside deck was closed due to high winds, but besides that it's amazing up there. You can see Fenway Park, Logan airport and The Encore casino and beyond. I want with my partner but it is good for any occasion including kids, elderly or groups. Definitely recommend.

My 1 year old had the time of his life! He truly enjoyed the views and sights of it all! I was nervous at first but the moment we went in he was full of joy and amazement!
Michelle_H, Mar 2026
It was a cool experience to see Boston from up above and be able to orient myself to all of the places I had visited. It was very open, clean, and the music that was rolling was an added treat.
Arian_A, Feb 2026
Cool to checkout but definitely a one and done thing. Unfortunately with the recent snow you couldn't go out on the deck which was a bummer. There was also a private event which blocked some of your access. Amazing views though
GIRISH_S, Jan 2026
It gets very cold on the outdoor decks. It is usually closed during snowing. But overall a wonderful experience.
Aly, Jan 2026
Wonderful experience with our tour. The actors were fabulous! We recommend this tour 💯 . The gift shop was awesome and we bought a few souvenirs for family.
Peter_T, Jan 2026
The view is ok. Half of the deck was closed off for private party. The Beacon was closed so not much we could do
Laura_O, Jan 2026
Such beautiful views, a gorgeous experience! To go at sunset is a must. We had food in the restaurant and it was lovely.
Trudy_K, Jan 2026
Everything went smoothly, beautiful views staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go here again! Thank you!!
Stephany_M, Nov 2025
The views were really nice but I expected a lot more out of this experience. You wouldn’t miss anything if you don’t go.
Karol_H, Nov 2025
Wonderful view of the city! Epic views!!! Plus the two levels going down are as nice as the 52nd flooor. Gift shop and restaurant and cocktail bar, too.
Kathy_C, Nov 2025
It can be windy and coldj
Beautiful view
It was worth the trip
A little pricey but a fair value.
Give it a try
Gloria_C, Oct 2025
Words cannot describe the view from the Prudential Building. You need to experience for yourself. Very inexpensive thru Viator App
Rachelle_S, Oct 2025
Very well organized and informative. Huge area so no crowds and multiple levels .. you can stay indoors or also enjoy open air views
James_A, Oct 2025
Unfortunately through no fault of their own, a noreaster came in while we were visiting Boston so we were not able to see very much. We did meet a very nice man that works for Boston View. His name is Ben. He spent a lot of time talking about things in Boston and the surrounding area that we were not able to see because of the weather.
Amy_R, Oct 2025
The experience once you got up was great. Unfortunately the directions of how to find it are missing crucial information so we walked for ages around the location trying to find the entrance.
Celia_C, Sept 2025
They are currently under construction and closed we were unable to visit and do the activity we paid for
Response from Host, Sept 2025

The top floor is completely inclosed. One level down is open air. The views were okay. Price was okay.
Quana_L, Aug 2025
The views were spectacular. We went just before sunset so we got a view of both day and night.

Lisa_T, June 2025
It was not bust. Just 1 or two others. I went to see Boston and I took some nice pictures, not just from the observation deck but also the nice buildings and surrounding places. I also went to the Franklin Zoo. I made a day of it.
