Plan Your Visit to View Boston

View Boston opens daily from 10:00am to 10:00pm, making it perfect for both daytime city exploration and evening skyline photography. Late afternoon visits offer the best of both worlds with daylight views transitioning into sunset, whilst evening visits showcase Boston's lights sparkling across the harbour.

Allow 1-2 hours for your visit depending on how long you spend with the interactive exhibits and refreshment areas. Arrive a few minutes early to account for security screening. The attraction is located at the Prudential Center, easily accessible by public transport and walking distance from Boston Freedom Trail walking tours and other downtown attractions.

Photography identification may be required for entry, and outside food or large bags aren't permitted inside. Weather conditions can affect outdoor deck access, so check current conditions before your visit. The central Prudential Center location makes View Boston easy to combine with shopping or exploring other Boston sightseeing experiences in the Back Bay area.
