Best place to get info on visiting Boston

Ilya Kiseliov

This place was Packed on a Tuesday lunch - can't even imagine how busy it gets on the weekends. Cool little building though - and the park around it is great as well.

Barbara Maha

Small visitor center. Picked up some brochures. We had wanted to take a guided tour, but they started later so we hoofed it ourselves. They do have discount tickets for the trolly tours here. I recommend the trolly as you can hop on and off all day.

Seth Horowitz

Great spot to pick up a guide pamphlet and kickoff your freedom Trail self guided tour

Jorge Ivan Berenguer

Loved it. It was a while since I've been back and had to catch up with my kids. Excellent vacation time.

gabriela abella

They closed 15 minutes in advanced, and they are not kind, instead of asking our concerns, they stood inside. Such tourist information...

Sharon Baartmans

Extremely knowledgeable guide, but it was difficult for 11 and 12 yr old to stay engaged during the long, historical accounts at each stop. Large group plus street noise made it difficult to hear.

Bastian Schmidt

Great helpful place take the walking tour!

Martin Feehan

Recommended first stop on the freedom trail. Many books to pick up on the background of the trail. You can book tours and events there. Will also questions on the trail itself.

Krishna Kannan

The Central Park of Boston. Good place to hang out, go for a walk/run or do the walking tour of Boston.

emily leckenby

Kinda small but very knowledgeable

Naomi Beliveau

We got answers to our questions and my daughter got herself a lovely snow globe as a souvenir... We didn’t find it easy to find though even with the help of our phone... unfortunately I didn’t take a picture of the actual center. Thanks for the nice welcome!

Trevor Bingham

Nice park and the folks there are very helpful.

Don Saarela

In front of the visitor center, you will notice a red line. This is the beginning of the Freedom Trail. It is roughly 2 miles walk with historic buildings along the way. The information center also provides tour guides to walk around the Commons and nearby historical locations in the city. The center is small and does have bathrooms and most importantly two water bubbler with a bottle fill dispenser outside for those warm days..

We started our tour of Boston Common with the Visitors Center. Our Freedom Tour would start in an hour, so we walked around the Common, looking at the war memorial, the pond, and the carousel. Ice cream was bought for $5 for two ice cream treats. At the next hour, our Freedom Tour began. We had an hour and a half, visiting the new City Hall, the first school, Faneuil Hall, the Boston graveyard and Massacre site. We tipped our guide for the funny interpretations and insightful dialogue.

Heather Boldman

Very small, crowded and a freedom trail map is costly. Do your online research for the trail and skip this stop!

Ben Yorke

Very friendly staff who were helpful in their explanation and kicked off a great walking tour of the city. We bought the $7 guide and thought it was worth it for the extra tidbits of information and context it provided for what you were seeing. I would recommend it.

Ronie Pastko

Super helpful and wonderful touring options!

Jason Gutierrez

Great information and helpful staff. Our tour guide was excellent and didn't mind hanging around to answer questions after the tour ended.

Derek McDermott

Good info regarding things to see and do like the freedom trail.

Haeseong Kim

Map for freedom trail tour is not free

Zbigniew Starosolski

Total fail. Doors closed at 4.45pm not 5pm. We were there 4.47 pm and lady inside refused to open doors and sell us Go Boston 3day pass. Shame Shame!!

Geary Bush

The Freedom Tour was fantastic. Michael was a great historian and tour guide.

Friedrich Prinz

Really nice and helpful staff. Also the start of the freedom trail. Go here if you want to know anything about boston.

Glenda Naff Jaswal

Nice place to go with the kids or your dog. The highlight would be seeing the state building and going when the food vendors are there. Otherwise, it can be boring but worth taking in to say you've been there. It's sort of the central part of Boston. The trolley car tours usually pick up and drop off here during the day. Like any big city park, you'll witness homelessness and thugs.

Andre Miloudi

(Translated by Google) A wonderful trip just following a red line through the city of Boston and you visit this beautiful city, monuments, shops .... and Harvard !!! To do absolutely and especially do not forget the aquarium for an outing to discover the whales .. (Original) Un magnifique trajet à faire juste en suivant une ligne rouge à travers la ville de Boston et vous visitez cette magnifique ville, des monuments, magasins.... Et Harvard !!!

Beautiful expanse of greenery where one can enjoy the park without giving up the conveniences of local food restaurants, facilities and quick access to the T.

Khaydar Makhmadiev

Бостон Коммон Визитор Центр), где можно найти всю необходимую информацию об экскурсиях по парку, купить карту и т.д. Он расположен в самом начале Тропы Свободы.

Steve C

The visitor center is on the edge of one of the more ambitious and beautiful city parks to come out of the public works era. Spreading for acres, the sprawling fields and winding paths make for a pleasant afternoon walk.

Dwight Rik Loeding

A must stop to grab your Freedom Trail map.

Cayla Slater

Good crowd here.

Dafer M. AlShehri

There is no enough parking around

Sandra Kuhn

(Translated by Google) Here you should definitely book a Freedom Trail guide. Very nice and helpful. The guide is very informative. (Original) Hier sollte man unbedingt eine Freedom Trail Führung buchen. Sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Führung ist sehr informativ.

The Boston National Historical sites are so well maintained. The Freedom Trail is a must; make sure to take the time to walk it, and you won't regret it.

BradJill Travels

Not far from the Park Street T Station is the Boston Common Visitor Centre, which is open daily from 8.30am to 5pm (Monday - Friday) and 9am to 5pm (Saturday - Sunday). We visited in the early morning before it was busy here. Staff seemed helpful in providing free maps and information for the Freedom Trail. You can visit the attractions on your own or sign up for a tour at the Visitor Centre, being escorted by a guide as you make your way through the collection of historical attractions included as part of the Freedom Trail. In addition to Freedom Trail information, we found plenty of brochures for other sightseeing options in Boston as well as typical souvenirs (magnets, postcards) that would be worth purchasing here in order to support the city parks. Note: There are some interesting statues just outside the Visitors Centre. These are the Learning, Religion and Industry bronze and granite figures created in 1961by sculptor Adio di Biccari and architect Arcangelo Cascieri. They are neat to see if you enjoy sightseeing of monuments.

Paul Lawlor

Small very busy but staff were very helpful

It is a great place to go and kill some time before a a mid-day show or take a break from shopping. They have cheap ice skating in the winter, and swan boat rides in the summer. Overall a great place to visit.

Jork Leonhardt

At the Boston Common Visitors Center not only the Freedom Trail starts, but from here you can start guided tours, where the tour guides and not just knowledgeable, but also act their part.

Mandy Kirby

Beautiful place but, when of the guides tried to get us to take the tour and we said we were doing it ourselves, he got snotty with us.

Ilya Grigorik

Grab a ticket for the 90-minute Freedom Trail tour here. We were a little skeptical of the dressed up guides at first, but it proved to be one of the most entertaining and educational parts of our trip: funny, knowledgeable, and kept our attention from beginning to the end. Highly recommend it!

(Translated by Google) FREEDOM TRAIL self-guided tour kick-off - just follow the red tiles and you'll be taken to several historical sites that are very relevant to the history of American independence. You can get a free map from the Visitor Center and if you want to look at my site, you can also print the guide in Portuguese that I posted in the Freedom Trail post. Take at least 3 hours to do the whole tour (enthusiasts can take it all day!). Oh, and be aware that some tour stops have free guided tours! (Original) Parada inicial do passeio auto-guiado pela FREEDOM TRAIL – basta seguir os ladrilhos vermelhos e você será levado à diversos pontos históricos muito relevantes à história da independência americana. Você pode pegar um mapa gratuito no “Visitor Center” e se quiser olhar no meu site, também pode imprimir o guia em português que disponibilizei no post sobre a Freedom Trail. Dispense pelo menos 3 horas para fazer todo o passeio (os mais entusiastas podem levar até o dia inteiro!). Ah, e fique atento que algumas paradas do passeio tem tour guiados gratuitos!

Dr. Yasmin Kottait

Great location to save. The freedom trail leaves from here. They got a tour every hour at the start of the hour except the last tour at 4:30. Worth the time and the walk- takes you through a lot of history! Loved it! So awesome

Steve Brownell

Helpful People, busy at times But very worth the time taking the Tour! Take the Walk!

Pattie Anne O'Donovan

Many thanks to Myra from 'Boston Common Visitors Center' for being so helpful & friendly and pointing out many places of interest - on my recent trip to Boston from Manchester UK.

(Translated by Google) Excellent, beautiful park for a simple sitting down of trousers. There is nothing to do there, except to walk around. But I do not care. For people from the Post-Soviet Union, the park will become the center of life. And the weather of Boston is beautiful, it's a pleasure to spend time in this park for me. But if you want to spend time more active, or look at something more interesting - do not waste time. (Original) Отличный, красивый парк для простого просиживания штанов. Делать там, кроме как ходить вокруг -- нечего. Но меня это и не волнует. Для людей из Пост-Советского союза парк станет центром жизни. И погода Бостона прекрасна, проводить время в этом парке для меня -- одно удовольствие. Но если вам хочется провести время поактивнее, либо посмотреть на что-то более интересное -- не тратьте время.
