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.

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.

Must see

Judy_T, May 2026

Definitely a must see when in Boston. Centrally located and closed to lots of shopping centers. We enjoyed our time here. Thank you.

Obviously the weather...

Norman_K, May 2026

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.

Lots of fun

Best Views In All of Boston

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.

Amazing Time

karnold21, Mar 2026

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!

A great view above the hustle and bustle!

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.

Cool views!

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

It gets very cold on the...

GIRISH_S, Jan 2026

It gets very cold on the outdoor decks. It is usually closed during snowing. But overall a wonderful experience.

Boston Tea Party

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.

Not to exciting

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

Beautiful

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.

Absolutely amazing!!

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.

What An Awesome View Of Boston

Gloria_C, Oct 2025

Words cannot describe the view from the Prudential Building. You need to experience for yourself. Very inexpensive thru Viator App

Very well organized and...

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

Bad Weather

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.

Great experience but unclear directions

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.

Observation was closed due to construction

Celia_C, Sept 2025

They are currently under construction and closed we were unable to visit and do the activity we paid for

Wendy_J, Aug 2025

The top floor is completely inclosed. One level down is open air. The views were okay. Price was okay.

Breathtaking

Quana_L, Aug 2025

The views were spectacular. We went just before sunset so we got a view of both day and night. The staff was helpful and friendly
