Amazing to See on ⛅️ Cloudy Day 🤩
We booked this excursion months ago & we were unlucky it was on a rainy day. We still enjoyed looking 👀 around & checking the place out. Please check out the View on a sunny ☀️ day.

What a VIEW!
What are jammin boss! I’m not sure how many years it has been open, but I’ve been to Boston to come, and I’ve never heard of this place. The observation deck is impressive! It looks brand new, you can tell they spent a lot of money on it. Very well done. Here’s even a bar. Multiple levels, so make sure to check them out.

Disappointment
Ok I know we booked the tour on our only day here and it was raining. Nothing you could do with that but. Half of the areas were closed for private proposal and private event. The bar area , you pretty much need to get your own menus and get your own drinks at the bar because nobody will even greet you. None of the personnel is friendly or smiling. For the price of the ticket it’s a bit disappointing

Great view
Lovely view of Boston and Cambridge, not very much to do up there though. A bit pricey for the experience.

The View
It’s an amazing view to see 360 of Boston. They had beautiful displays of faux flowers. The Bar wasn’t open till 3 so if you’re looking to spend all day there for drinks and view then it’s worth it. If you are a local I think it’s boring and not worth the money. There was a slight annoyance we bumped into while there … When you walk in they have you pose for pics this way if you want to purchase it later at the gift shop you can. As we were exiting the gift shop. We were stopped by one of the employees who seems a bit rude. She was making multiple shocked and rude faces because we didn’t give her our QR code to see our pics. It was a weird and uncomfortable moment for us. Other than that this place was ok.

Unique views of the city, at a price
We were in town for a long weekend and decided to do this experience. It's expensive for what it is, for sure, but it's a unique experience that you can't get elsewhere. There's a bar on the roof, and the drinks were good. The views are spectacular, so if you're new to Boston, it's a great way to see the city. Give it a shot, but know that it's probably not going to feel worth the money. Even the flower exhibit they advertised was pretty minimal effort.

Not like previous years
Wasn’t very crowded when we went, but disappointed to see the restaurant is closed to reservations and only available for events. The bar also closed at 5pm, which was not convenient for patrons that booked a ticket. The artificial flower display was realistic and beautiful backdrop. The views of the city is really what we go for. Love the new interactive maps.
