Carousel Station
Nov 2, 2005 by anne from hull

Overall Rating: 10

• The music was not too loud and the attendants were careful watching the children.
• None.

“Having grown up in Hull and was brought as a child to the Carousel, it just seemed wonderful that I could bring my Great nephew this summer there. It really brought back some old memories and maybe we made some new ones as well. I hope he remembers riding on the "Flying Horses". The ride was well run and the area was safe and neat. We had a super time and will return.”

Newbury Street
Oct 18, 2005 by JOE_A (See all reviews by JOE_A)
Overall Rating: 9

“A real flavor of Boston is checking out the shops on Newbury Street. Plenty of small unique stores. Many places are just for wealthy (and window shopping/people watching for the rest of us), but many main stream shops are sprinkled in (Gap, Banana Republic, etc). Boylston Street is just a block away for Bars and plenty of food (and more shopping at the Prudential Center).”

Faneuil Hall Marketplace

Overall Rating: 9

• Boston history in a great location
• A bit of a tourist trap

“Take The Government Center T stop for some great little shops, vendors, and people watching. Surrounded with old Boston Pubs, newer clubs and restaurnants. Located right near the North End - stroll over for some fantastic Italian food or desert.”

Fraiman Enterprises Inc
Oct 18, 2005 by Manson from Boston

Overall Rating: 10

• Everything.
• N/A.

“An old fashion theater with wide isles and great service. Food and decor. I travel in a wheelchair and by taxi. I was taken home by an Arlex Yellow Cab which has a stand directly across the street from the theater. The drivers were obviously trained and well spoken, English even. Thank you to the theater for such a great experience. I will be back with friends.”

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Oct 18, 2005 by Jennifer from Texas

Overall Rating: 10

• The gardens and tour.
• Nothing.

“Of all the museums I've seen in Boston and the world, I think this one is my overall favorite. The whole idea behind the museum is great and the free tour is a must to really understand who Isabella Gardener was and what exactly she was trying to do with this museum. The gardens are beautiful and the organization of the art is enough to keep even the most reluctant museum visitor intrigued. Worth the money, even if time is limited.”

Harvard University

Overall Rating: 9

• Stroll around the Square and Harvard Yard
• Can get crowded

“A stroll around Harvard Square in the summer is an experience for those who like people watching - street venders and performers mix with students and eclectic locals. Plenty of Great little shops and restaurants - though the area is much more commercial now (with more chains moving in). ”

Museum of Fine Arts
Aug 3, 2005 by Amanda

Overall Rating: 6

• get a sense of history of Boston from some of the stuff, interesting contemporary art selection
• Closed second floor and I missed what I went to see.

“The museum closes the 2nd floor after 5 every day though they continue to charge full price. The problem is that the second floor is where the second largest collection of Monet's in the world are (as well as most of the other important works they hold) and the reason I went. I was thoroughly disappointed. ”

Fenway Park
Apr 21, 2005 by Joe A . from Sleepy Hollow

Overall Rating: 9

• A wonderful experince for any sports fan
• The seats are small and painful if you are over 6 feet

“Take the T and stop by the Cask and Flagon or Boston Beer Works for a few before joining the Fenway faithful on a summer night. The ballpark is the smallest in the majors, but beware that there are bad seats (just look at the guy sitting behind the pole in the right field grandstands - I prefer the bleachers if you can't get Box seats or Monster seats). You are sure to have a good time.”

Fenway Park
Mar 3, 2005 by Shannon R . from Litchfield

Overall Rating: 9

• The tour of the park before the game was absolutely wonderful and very informative. I learned more in those 2 hours than I ever knew....
• none

“For anyone going to Boston or to a game, the tour is a must. Not only was it filled with little facts no one knows but it was kid friendly. ( which we didn't have any with us) but there was enough to keep the group of kids occupied.The head of the tour was not only funny and a cut up but he presented his information with easy to learn terms and skill. For 10 bucks, it's the only tour worth it. Everyone should go at least once. We are actually going back tomorrow before the Celtics game!!”
