The Prudential Center itself is a mall and you can expect the obvious: shops and food. But the highlight is definitely visiting the observation deck in the Prudential Tower. Beautiful views of Boston and well worth a visit! Unless you choose to drive, the MBTA has a stop directly at the Prudential Center and it makes getting there VERY easy. more

The view was nice but it is way overpriced. We took the hop-on-hop-off trolley all day and this was the most expensive thing we did. They have some neat displays at the top. Nice lunch stop area. The mall is nice. If you can swing it, it's worth a nod but definitely not on a "must do" list. more

Well worth a visit for the best view of Boston from the 50th floor. In addition to the view there is also information about the city and surrounding areas which are an added interest. I would also reccomend a visit to the 52nd floor resteraunt. The cocktails are highly reccommended more

If you park here, be very aware of their ruinous parking rates & poor layout. Like most parking garages that set out to gouge you, their rates are not posted at the entrance, or on any of the walls descending to the garage. When we got close enough to read the rates, it was clear that it was going to... more

From the top of the prudential center you get an amazing view of the city and a fun audio tour explaining what you see. My wife and I were up there for a couple of hours and had a really good time. more

The observatory is one floor below the Top of the Hub restaurant and costs $9.50. For that price in the restaurant you can listen to music, get a great view of the city, and have a nice drink. more

My girlfriend and I decided to do the Skywalk because it came free with the purchase of our Go Boston card (although we didn't know this until we picked up our card - I think it's a new addition on the card - but only from about noon to 5:30 pm if I remember correctly). It is a nice view... more

If you've never been to Boston before and would literally like to get an overview of the city, then I would recommend this, even though it's a little overpriced @ $9.50 per ticket. When my wife and I went, we spent about an hour and a half up there. I enjoyed seeing where things are located and appreciated the panoramic... more

First and foremost I think the kids get a kick out of having their own speakers and the ability to control what they listen to....a big perk as they are always loooking for their own independence. Second it is quit a view that is one that walks the city in a shorter distance than that of what we just walked... more
