Fenway Park Tour, Multiple Options

Join a guided tour of Fenway Park and walk through the ballpark while the guide covers its story. Tour length depends on the option chosen, from 15 to 75 minutes.

Overview

This is the official Red Sox tour of Fenway Park, sold in five formats that run between 15 and 75 minutes, including a public one-hour tour, a private one-hour tour, a Pre-Game option, an early-morning field-level tour and a 15-minute express visit. The standard public tour follows a guide through the stands and onto the field level, stopping at Pesky's Pole and climbing the Green Monster, the left field wall that stands 37 feet 2 inches high. The route also takes in the Roof Deck above right field, which looks out over the ballpark and the city beyond.

Along the way the guide covers the history of the building and the players who made their names there: Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk and Jim Rice all feature, and Babe Ruth appears among the famous names revisited. The private one-hour version visits the same stops plus extra areas such as the Red Seat and the Visiting Team Clubhouse, subject to availability. The Pre-Game option runs three hours before first pitch on game days and gets you into the ballpark before the general public. The 15-minute express tour covers the ballpark's most iconic structures and locations, with panoramic views and photo opportunities.

It suits baseball fans obviously, but many reviewers who knew nothing about the sport still enjoyed it, so a casual visitor with an hour to spare gets plenty out of the standard option.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you pick the right option and arrive prepared.

• Reading the options. The tour formats differ quite a bit, from a 15-minute express visit to a one-hour guided walk. The listing advises reading each option closely before selecting, since access and start times vary.
• Walking and shoes. A moderate amount of walking is involved, so comfortable shoes are recommended.
• Bag policy. No bags larger than 12 by 6 inches are allowed inside Fenway Park, with exceptions only for diaper bags and medical bags. One reviewer noted that storage is a few blocks away, so travel light.
• Weather. Tours run in all weather conditions, and itineraries can change due to weather or availability. Dress for the day, and bring water and comfortable clothes as the listing suggests.
• Group size. One said a big group still worked out, though some travellers found it harder to hear the guide in a crowd.
• Photos. The express tour is built around photo opportunities, covering the most iconic structures in a short loop with panoramic views of the ballpark and city skyline.

Common issues. The main complaint in reviews is group size, with some travellers finding it hard to hear the guide in a large group, and one reviewer felt their guide spoke too quickly. Bags larger than the stated limit are turned away, and luggage or large bags are not allowed at all. Tour itineraries can change due to weather and availability, and some areas on the private and pre-game options are only visited subject to availability. Food, beverages and game tickets are not included.
