A great observation deck (helped by some glorious weather). Fantastic views and a friendly and reasonably priced bar. Easily on a par with the “Top of the Rock” in NYC, and “The Shard” in London.

THIS WAS OUR FIRST TIME VISITING BOSTON AND WE EXPERIENCED MANY OF THE HISTORICAL SITES ENDING WITH A VISIT TO TH E BOSTON OBSERVATION DECK. IT IS A TRULY AMAZING VIEW OF THE CITY.

HE PROVIDED US WITH SO MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THE CITY AND CONVINCED US BY HIS ENTHUSIASM TO RETURN AT A FUTURE DATE. HE IS A TRUE AMBASSADOR FOR THE CITY OF BOSTON!
