About

One Red Sox owner insists Fenway is a ballpark, not a stadium. That distinction captures its personality: historic, quirky, and deeply Bostonian. Even if you're not a baseball fan, the guided tour offers a look at a landmark that's as much a part of the city as any museum. Tours last about one hour and include a walk around the grounds with an official guide.

The ballpark sits in the Fenway neighborhood, surrounded by bars and food options. For a longer cultural outing, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is a short walk away. Check hours and reviews before you go, as tours only run when the Red Sox are out of town.

From the community

“A ballpark not a stadium”

Last season, one of the Red Sox owners corrected an interviewer by calling Fenway a ballpark rather than a stadium. That distinction captures why attending a game there is so enjoyable—it's not like the other big venues. Fenway has held onto its name and history by preserving the character of the park and the city. You have to appreciate a city that has its own language, not just an accent. Even if you don't catch a game, the area around Fenway is filled with great bars, food, and sausage vendors in the summer.

“Great tour for sports buffs”

The tour lasts roughly an hour and features a guided walking tour of the ballpark led by an official Fenway Park tour guide. The park is as integral to the city as any museum and is worth visiting if the weather is nice and the Red Sox are playing away.
