Tips on Fenway

Fenway Park is one of Major League Baseball's most historic stadiums. It's a Boston landmark that offers a glimpse at an earlier era of baseball. But Fenway offers more than baseball. Whether it's the surrounding neighborhoods or the facilities at the park, Fenway offers sights and sounds that can engage just about everyone.

  1. Travel

    • You can choose among several methods to get to the park. Boston has a subway, called the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority, that offers a commuter rail system that can take you to Fenway Park from nearby cites and towns. Using the subway or train system will help you avoid the busy streets and car traffic.

    Park Tour

    • You don't have to buy a ticket to check out Fenway Park because Red Sox staff offers tours of the park. The tours occur from November to the end of March and on nongame days. Some game day tours are also available. The 50-minute tour is an inexpensive alternative if you you can't catch a game. Tours are handicapped accessible.

    Special Events

    • Fenway Park is also an event venue. The park's numerous clubs, concourse, and suites can accommodate up to 10,000 guests. Weddings, corporate events, and social activities are available. The EMC club overlooks the park, while the State Street Pavilion has a view of the Boston skyline and the park's right field. The right field features the retired numbers of Red Sox greats.

    Neighborhood

    • If you have time before the game, Fenway Park is surrounded by neighborhood night clubs, shops, museums, and restaurants. The park is bordered by Mission Hill and Columbus Avenue and is close to historic Kenmore Square featuring its nightlife and restaurants. Before the game, you can catch artistic displays at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, just blocks from the stadium.
