This is the home of Red Sox greats such as Ted Williams, Carlton Fisk, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz (Big Papi), Wade Boggs, Johnny Pesky, Carl Yastrzemski (Yaz), Jim Rice, Luis Tiant, and many other notable legends.

If you're a fan of these baseball stars, this is one of the best ways to get a closer look at the ballpark where they made history.

Public Tours

This 1-hour tour is perfect for anyone who may or may not be familiar with the Boston Red Sox.

It provides an insider look and a lot of information about the team, their historic ballpark, and some of the most famous baseball stars who have ever played in Fenway.

Guests can expect to see historic sites such as the 37-foot tall (11-meter) Green Monster, Pesky's Pole, and even the Fenway Park Living Museum which houses an extensive collection of exhibits, including several notable stadium artifacts and historic photographs.

It is available year-round, during both the regular season and the off-season.

At the time of booking, you can select when you want to take the tour: either 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm, or 5 pm.

Reviewers seem to be very happy with this activity ( read reviews here ).

Even visitors who didn’t know much about baseball enjoyed their experience during a tour of Fenway. This tour was described as fun, insightful, and very informative.

Visitors who didn’t enjoy the other tours recommend taking this one instead to save money and get more bang for your buck.

If you plan on taking this tour during a game day, reviewers recommend getting there as early as possible and preparing for large crowds.

Fenway in Fifteen

Fenway also offers a quick 15-minute tour for those on a budget or time constraints.

This option includes a look at the Nation’s Archives at the Royal Rooters Club and a visit to the Right Field Roof Deck.

At the end of your short journey through Red Sox history, you’ll be treated to a wonderful panoramic view of both the ballpark and the Boston skyline.

This tour is only available on game days and weekends from 12 pm – 3 pm.

Prices: $15 for Adults | $15 for Children
Duration: 15 minutes

This is an excellent option if it is on a game day and you don’t have a lot of time before the game.

The Rooters Club includes a lot of wonderful memorabilia and it’s a great place for sports history buffs to visit.

Sadly, some guests indicate that you might not see much more on this tour than you would during the average game at Fenway Park.

Some visitors feel that the panoramic view is nice, but other reviewers say it is no better than any view you will experience while at a game.

TOURS THAT ARE AVAILABLE ONLY ON GAME DAYS

Even if you decide to come on a game day, there are still tours available at Fenway Park.

In this section, we will describe each tour option and include details such as admission prices & availability.

On game days, the last tour they offer will depart 3 hours before game time.

NOTE: The public tour listed above is also available on game days.

Pre-Game Tour

This experience allows guests into the park before the general public and opens with a trip to the warning track where you can walk in the footsteps of Red Sox legends such as Johnny Damon and Ted Williams.

The Pregame Tour ends with a visit to the Monster Seats on top of the Green Monster where you will have a great chance of grabbing a fly ball off the bats of players who are warming up.

Admission for this tour is only available at the park on game days approximately 3 hours before the game begins.

Prices: $40 for Adults | $40 for Children
Availability: Only on game days
Duration: 45-60 minutes

This tour is popular among die-hard fans who are familiar with the history of Fenway and want to enjoy the opportunity to explore areas that are typically off-limits to visitors.

Red Sox fans tend to appreciate the chance to sit in seats that are usually reserved and visit the Green Monster.

Unfortunately, this tour is not always as informative as the public tour, but it’s still valuable for fans of the team.

Several guests note that batting practice is free to watch if you arrive early, so you don’t need to pay extra to see it on this tour.

Premium Day Game Tour

If you’re looking for a more family-friendly tour of Fenway Park, this is going to be your best option.

Not only will you have the opportunity to meet Wally the Green Monster, but you’ll also have the chance to take a photo on the warning track.

Additionally, you will learn a lot about the history of Fenway and the Boston Red Sox.

This tour is only available for afternoon games before 3 pm. You may be asked to pay an extra fee for your picture.

Availability: Only on afternoon game days

Much like the pregame tour, this option is particularly popular among Red Sox fans who want the opportunity to meet their favorite mascot and get a photo at Fenway.

Several customers have been unhappy about paying extra to receive the photo which is taken either in front of home plate or on the warning track.

This opportunity may not be worth the extra cost for visitors who are more interested in learning about the park and its history.

8 WAYS TO SAVE AND COMBO DEALS

If you’re looking for a good deal on one of the tours at Fenway Park, there are a few options to consider.

The following section will provide details about all of the different ways you can save money on this activity.

1. Go City Boston Pass

This is going to be the best way to save money on the Fenway Park tour. The Go City Boston Pass has 2 options and each includes the Public Fenway Park Tour .

If you get the Go City Boston Explorer Pass , you can save up to 50% off your choice of 2, 3, 4, or 5 activities in Beantown.

Travelers considering this card can choose from 20 additional attractions in order to get the most out of the Explorer Pass.

Alternatively, you can also get the All-Inclusive Pass which includes the Fenway Park tour and 38 additional attractions for one flat price.

Here are just a handful of the additional activities and locations included with the cost of this pass:

Boston Children's Museum
New England Aquarium
Franklin Park Zoo
Museum of Science

If you're interested in even a few of these attractions, you could save a lot of money with this service.

The Fenway tour is available with the 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7-day passes.

2. Military Discounts

Guests who have either served or are currently serving in the military are eligible for $4 off admission for the main tour of Fenway.

In order to take advantage of this opportunity, you must purchase admission directly from Fenway Park and provide your military identification.

3. Deal Sites

In addition to the opportunities listed above, you can also save some money on the Fenway Park tour by using services such as Groupon and Living Social .

In the past, these websites have sold admission to Fenway Park tours, and there is a chance they will offer lower prices on these services again in the future.

Both of these sites offer additional promotional credit every now and then to sweeten the deal, helping you to save an extra 20% off or more on local activities.

Make sure to check both the top and bottom of the deal site for banners with coupons that you can use for additional savings.

4. Children's Discount

Admission for kids between the ages of 3-12 are eligible for $6 off the general admission price.

This is a great way to save money on admission if you're coming with your family.

5. Senior Discount

Fenway Park does not currently advertise any special prices for senior citizens.

Even so, we recommend reaching out to them ahead of time to see if they offer any unadvertised deals for seniors.

6. Student Discount

There currently are not any advertised deals on Fenway Park tours for students.

Consider reaching out to them ahead of time to find out if they have any unadvertised deals students might be eligible for.

7. AAA Deals

Although AAA offers a lot of deals for their members, they currently are not offering any special deals on Fenway Park Tours.

This may change in the future, and you should check your account to see if there are any promotional credits available when you plan to take the tour.

8. Group Pricing

While Fenway Park does offer group tours, they consider this a private tour, and prices are actually a bit more expensive than the typical public tour.

If you are interested, here are the prices for Group tours of 12 or more guests:

$20/Children (3-12)

RED SOX GAME TICKETS

There are a few different ways to get admission for Red Sox games.

In addition to single-game ticket options, you can also purchase a package for multiple games which is typically available at a low cost.

Depending on where your seat is located, you can expect prices to range from $20 for the upper bleachers to $150+ for the field boxes.

Get Tickets Online

If you’re looking to order online, you can do so directly from the MLB.com website .

However, you might find even better deals and prices by using StubHub instead.

This is an online marketplace for people who have purchased tickets to events that they can no longer attend.

If you buy them well in advance, you can even save money over the normal price.

Get a Ticket at the Park

Needless to say, you can purchase game day admission directly at the park if they are available.

Popular game days may be sold out when you arrive, so it’s probably a better idea to purchase admission online ahead of time.

Self-Guided Fenway Park Tour

If you’re heading to Fenway Park to take in a game, make sure you see a few things while you’re there.

Also, brush up on the words to Sweet Caroline. Some of the listed items below are covered on the paid Fenway Park tours.

THE TRIANGLE

This is a section of center field created by seating with a far-right corner which is 420′ from home plate.

Can you imagine hitting a ball that far?! Or even worse, hitting a ball 357′ (all it would take for a homer in Philly) and not getting a home run!

Of course, hit it to the left or right, and you’re golden. Fenway has the shortest distance to either side in MLB (310 and 302′).

Make no mistake: despite the triangle, this is one of the best hitters parks in the game of baseball.

WILLIAMSBURG

Built in the 1940s, the bullpen was extended along the right-center field bleachers to decrease the distance needed for a home run by 23′ (for the benefit of left-handed hitter Ted Williams, hence the nickname!)

THE RED SEAT

Most seats in the right field section of Fenway are green with the exception of just one. This single red seat marks the distance of the longest home run.

Hit in 1946 by Ted Williams, the seat in Section 42, Row 37, Seat 21 was occupied by a gentleman who was hit in the head!

After the event, he said “How far away must one sit to be safe in this park? I didn’t even get the ball.

They say it bounced a dozen rows higher, but after it hit my head, I was no longer interested.”

What makes that story even better – the guy was a Yankees fan. I don’t need to tell you about the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, right?

(Babe Ruth is said to have likely hit a home run farther, but it was before these seats were built here – and it’s Babe Ruth, so it’s a given, right?)

THE GREEN MONSTER

The most notable feature of Fenway is the famous Green Monster. It’s a 37′ (11 m) tall green wall in left field that steals home runs from many line-drive hitters, leading to a whole lot of doubles at Fenway.

It’s the highest wall in the MLB.

For most of its history, it was just called “The Wall” – but then Pink Floyd came around.

The Green Monster is now also the Red Sox mascot, an actual green furry monster named Wally. They are so clever!

Located on the wall is the scoreboard which is still updated by hand.

CURSE OF THE BAMBINO

Probably the most known fact about the Red Sox is their drought of championships – well, that and their rivalry with the Red Sox.

In 1903, the Red Sox won their first World Series. They won again in 1912, 1915, 1916, and 1918…. and then experienced an 84-year drought.

That’s right, it wasn’t until 2004 that they won another World Series Championship. So what happened?

Many say, in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way, that it was the Curse of the Bambino. In 1920, the Red Sox sold the rights to Babe Ruth to their rivals, the Yankees.

Why one may ask? Well, some say it was to finance a Broadway play, of course. Ever heard of My Lady Friends? (Me either, so one may wonder if it was a wise choice!)

And since the sale of Babe Ruth, the Red Sox would not win another World Series Championship until 2004.

They went to the World Series 4 times in those 84 years, losing twice to the Cardinals – and in 2004, they won against the Cardinals.

Not only did they win, but they also swept the Cardinals, never falling behind once.

As if that weren’t good enough, they had to beat the Yankees in order to get to the World Series.

Fenway Park Living Museum

You will need to take a Fenway Park tour to get admission to this museum, but it is absolutely worth it if you're a fan of the Boston Red Sox.

Visitors can expect to see more than 170,000 artifacts, including 24,000 3-D artifacts, a variety of memorabilia, dozens of World Series team-signed baseballs and game-used baseball bats, and more in the Fenway Park collection.

They also have 17 different displays covering the history of both the Red Sox and Fenway; 8 in the Nation's Archives at the Royal Rooter's Club and 8 in the Fenway Park concourses.

This variety of historical displays includes information about Fenway's early years, notable moments to remember from the 1930s, 1940s-1980s, 1990s-2008, the 2013 World Series display, historic Fenway Park lockers, and more.

They even have separate World Series baseball bat display areas from 2004, 2007, and 2013. They also have a World Series baseball display!

Learn all about the most renowned moments in the history of this team while taking a look at their extensive collection of Red Sox memorabilia and learning about the careers of team legends.

Fenway is home to more than 100 years of baseball history and has been the site of some of the best moments in the game.

Although we do our best to provide all the information you'll need to enjoy a tour at Fenway Park, there is always a chance that we will miss the details you were hoping to find.

That's why we have a Boston Travel Tips group on Facebook, where you can ask any additional questions you may have.

If you're wondering just how helpful our group members can be, here are a few interesting comments to consider:

If you were wondering whether or not any of the Fenway Park tours include a visit to the field, it's worth noting that this activity only seems to take place during Pre-Game Tours.

Even then, there's no guarantee that you'll visit the field during the tour, but that doesn't seem to affect how much guests enjoy their tour of Fenway.

As Laura notes, sometimes getting that on-field experience is as easy as signing up for it on game day when you arrive.

Even if you're not a baseball fan, there's a chance that you'll enjoy a tour of Fenway Park. There's so much history behind this ballpark, as it is literally the oldest stadium still in use in the Major Leagues today.

A lot of our group members agree that this tour is an excellent activity even just to learn about the history of the structure alone.

Well, you can do just that by taking a Fenway Park tour! While few things compare to seeing the Boston Red Sox play live, taking in the park when it’s silent and empty and learning about its history is a whole other experience that anyone interested in baseball or Boston’s history should explore.

Here is everything you need to know about the types of Fenway Park public tours that are available, what you can expect to see during each tour, and how to prepare for your visit so you’re comfortable and get the most out of the experience!

It's Fun for the Major League Baseball Fan

It's fun for the history buff, it's fun for families, fenway park tour schedule, will i get to walk onto the field during a fenway park tour, public tours, fenway in fifteen tour, pregame tour, day game premium tour, ultimate birthday package, take me to fenway tour, online tour tickets, are there discounts available for fenway park tours, are fenway park tours accessible for wheelchairs, take public transportation, wear comfortable shoes, bring water on a hot day, bring an appropriately sized bag, buy tour tickets ahead of time, is a fenway park tour worth it, why tour fenway park.

Fenway’s tours are popular with baseball fans and non-fans alike. They’re so popular, in fact, that they tend to sell out ahead of time. They also operate year-round, even if it’s raining or snowing (with the exception of the area’s nor’easters, of course.)

A Fenway Park tour is a fun experience that’s not just for Red Sox fans. Dare we say it, but even Yankee fans have raved about them in reviews! If you fall into any of the following categories, you should definitely take a tour.

If you’re a baseball fan, taking a Fenway Park tour will have you walking in the footsteps of some of the legends that have played there including Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Carl “Yaz” Yastrzemski, David Ortiz, and countless others. You’ll get to see the field and the seats from their vantage point, and you can imagine what it must have been like for them to make sports history.

You’ll get to sit atop the world-famous Green Monster which is an awe-inspiring experience in itself. If you go on a game day, there’s a chance you’ll see the players warming up with batting practice and with a little luck, score a souvenir ball that’s hit your way.

You’ll also get to sit in the oldest seats in the park and see the lone red seat in the bleachers where the infamous home run ball hit by Ted Williams in 1946 was stopped by an unsuspecting spectator’s head.

Experienced tour guides give a comprehensive history of Fenway Park along with some baseball history and trivia. The ballpark is also home to the Fenway Park Living Museum which houses thousands of fascinating baseball artifacts. Even if you’re not officially a member of Red Sox nation, you’ll enjoy learning tidbits about the sport and the ballpark’s history.

Fenway Park is the nation’s oldest ballpark having opened in 1912 just days after the sinking of the Titanic. That’s a lot of history that it has seen, with original architectural details that have been preserved to this day.

The park has more than earned its rightful place alongside the city’s other famous landmarks such as the Public Garden, Museum of Fine Arts, Bunker Hill Monument, and Faneuil Hall. You’ll get to learn a bit about its historical significance and how it was constructed by taking a public tour.

For kids who are old enough to appreciate it, a Fenway Park tour makes for a fun family day. One of the tour options includes a visit with Red Sox mascot Wally the Green Monster. There’s also a birthday package tour that offers the opportunity to try on players’ uniforms and try batting practice in an official MLB cage.

Afterward, you’ll have the chance to buy Red Sox and Fenway Park memorabilia and can grab a bite to eat at any of the restaurants or bars in the area. The Bleacher Bar at 82A Landsdowne Street is a fan favorite, as it’s situated right underneath—you guessed it—the bleachers.

Fenway Park tours operate daily year-round, even during rain and snow (unless there is a major weather event such as a blizzard or hurricane.)

The hours of operation vary slightly depending on whether it’s baseball season (spring/summer/fall) or winter:

Spring/Summer/Fall Hours (April 1 – Oct. 31): 9 AM to 5 PM daily

Winter Hours: (Nov. 1 – March 31): 10 AM to 5 PM daily

Public tours depart at the top of each hour. On non-game days, the last tour of the day departs at 5 PM.

On game days, the last tour departs three hours before the game start time.

The burning question on anyone’s mind who hasn’t taken a Fenway Park tour yet is if you’ll actually get to walk around the field. Unfortunately, we do have a bit of bad news to deliver.

The tour section of the Red Sox website states that all areas of the ballpark are subject to availability . That means that chances are, you may not get to actually walk onto the field during a tour.

Occasionally it does happen but it’s usually a rare occurrence that depends on several factors including the condition of the field and the size of the tour group. You also have a greater chance of being allowed access to the field during the morning tours on home game days .

Don’t let this revelation bum you out or discourage you from taking a Fenway Park tour, however. There is still so much to see and enjoy during your visit that makes up for not being allowed to walk on the field.

Available Fenway Park Tours

Fenway Park tours are definitely not one size fits it—there are several available public tours to fit different preferences. Here’s a detailed description of each that was listed at the time this article was published, which brings up an important point: new tours may be added and existing ones changed or dropped at any time.

This is an hour-long tour that most people spring for. You get to enjoy a 60-minute guided tour chockful of historical nuggets about the ballpark, notable players, and Red Sox history.

This tour also includes a visit to the media booth which offers a spectacular view of the park. You’ll also get to see the visiting team’s locker room, Pesky’s Pole, the rooftop garden, the press box, and get to take in the amazing view from the Green Monster seats. If you go on the day of a scheduled concert, you may get to see the artist or band warming up on the stage.

Prices: $25 for Adults | $17 for Children (3-12) | $17 for Military

You’ll also visit the Royal Rooters Club—home of the Nation’s Archives, where historic baseball and Boston Red Sox memorabilia and photographs are on display.

Prices: $15 for Adults | $15 for Children (3-12)

A fan favorite, the hour-long pregame tour gives attendees early access to the ballpark before the general public and takes place three hours before game time. You’ll get to see Fenway’s oldest seats (the Grandstand section, which dates back to 1934), walk on the warming track, and sit atop the Green Monster.

Fans love this tour for the potential chance to watch players practicing or scoring an autograph or fly ball.

Prices: $40 for Adults | $40 for Children (3-12)

This is a great tour for families and younger baseball fans. It includes a visit with Wally the Green Monster, a stop on the warming track, and a historical narrative of Fenway Park history.

This tour is only available on afternoon game days before 3 PM.

How would you like to try on the uniforms of past and present Red Sox legends, or hit some balls in a batting cage? The Ultimate Birthday Package tour includes all that, plus a souvenir for everyone at the party. This tour is available only on non-game days for groups of at least 12 people.

Prices: $50 for Adults | $30 for Children (3-12)

This is a custom private tour experience for those willing to pay for it. It’s designed for groups up to 20 people and you get to choose from a list of locations in Fenway Park you would like to see up close. You also get the undivided attention of a Fenway Park tour guide.

Contact Fenway Park for Pricing

Lastly, you can even tour Fenway Park from the comfort of your home using your computer or smartphone. We’re talking, of course, about a virtual drone tour. This particular tour lasts 40 minutes and is narrated by a Red Sox announcer. An in-person tour is certainly more fun, but this option is available for groups of ten or more people, making it suitable for corporate events, families, and more.

$15 per person

Where to Buy Fenway Park Tour Tickets

The best place to buy Fenway Park tour tickets is on the Red Sox website . You can book a tour up to 30 days in advance and choose the time slot that works best for you. You can also buy tickets through a third-party tour site such as GetYourGuide , GoCity , or Viator . Sometimes the tour is included as part of a package to see other Boston attractions. Definitely shop around and weigh your options for the best deal and tour that fits your needs.

The only discounts currently available for Fenway Park tours are discounts for active and retired military members for the public tour.

We recommend signing up for the official Boston Red Sox newsletter, as sometimes there are giveaways or promotions offered for tour tickets.

Fenway Park tours are fully accessible for individuals who use wheelchairs. Elevators are available to transport tour attendees in wheelchairs to various levels of the ballpark.

Insider Tips: What to Know Before You Tour Fenway Park

Finally, we have some tips to help you prepare for your Fenway Park tour and get the most enjoyment from the experience. The last thing anyone wants is to miss the tour because they don’t know the best way to get into the city or discover the bag they brought with them is too big. These are important tips to know, so don’t skip over them!

This tip can never be stressed enough: leave your vehicle at home and take public transportation to Fenway Park . While there are several lots near the ballpark, the Boston area is notorious for its heavy traffic and delays—making it an absolute nightmare to drive to Fenway Park on game days. Not to mention, parking near the stadium can be expensive .

Take the MBTA (“the T”) to the Kenmore stop on the B, C, or D Green line , and Fenway Park is a short five-minute walk away. When you exit the station, you’ll see signs guiding you to the ballpark. Take a left on Commonwealth Ave., another left onto Brookline Ave., then go over the bridge.

You’ll save yourself time, money, and stress by taking the T and will also get to meet some fellow Red Sox fans by taking public transportation. It’s hard to beat that!

If you must drive to the stadium, the Red Sox site has a page dedicated to the best lots to park at depending upon the direction you’re entering the city from along with their rates and an option to reserve a spot online.

According to one of the experienced tour guides, you walk the equivalent of 1.25 miles during the one-hour tours. That’s a lot of steps, so comfortable, supportive footwear is a must.

Be prepared for periods of standing and climbing stairs as well. Many tour attendees say it can be a workout. Elevators are available to get to various levels of the ballpark if you need a reprieve.

As an aside, don’t be surprised if your tour group is on the larger side (we told you these tours were popular!) The tour guides use a microphone to ensure everyone can hear them clearly. Sometimes larger groups are split up into two separate ones, each with their own tour guide.

Fenway Park does not provide water or other refreshments for tour groups, so be sure to bring water (in a sealed bottle 16 ounces or smaller) to stay hydrated if you’re taking the tour on a hot day. We also recommend sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen.

Fenway has a pretty strict bag policy: bags must be no larger than 12″ x 12″ x 6″ and single compartment only. The ballpark does NOT allow backpacks (or backpack-style purses), duffle bags, and bags with multiple compartments.

Exceptions are made for diaper bags and bags that carry essential medical equipment. Any bags that don’t meet the requirements can be stored with a third-party locker company on the top of the Lansdowne Garage or a nearby liquor store. Note that a fee will be charged to do so. To be on the safe side and avoid missing the beginning of a tour, we recommend taking a fanny pack or other small bag that safely meets the size restrictions.

All tour participants are also required to pass through security screening before entering the ballpark. We recommend reading the Fenway Park security page for a list of prohibited items and more about the bag policy.

Much like Red Sox games, Fenway Park tours tend to sell out. They go on sale 30 days in advance (so if you visit the website on November 1 you will only be able to purchase tickets for tours taking place through December 1.)

A tour of Fenway Park is absolutely worth it! There’s a reason why Fenway is called America’s most beloved ballpark. Its features, layout, and quirks are unlike any other major league baseball stadium in the nation.

Taking a tour during the fall or winter months is a fun way to keep the fan spirit alive after the season has ended. Even if you’ve been a long-time Boston Red Sox fan, chances are you will learn something you never knew on a tour.

Home to the iconic Boston Red Sox since 1912, Fenway Park is the country’s oldest major league ballpark. Steeped in history and rich with tradition, it can seat nearly 38,000 excited fans. When it comes to entering the park, knowing which gate to use and where it’s located is essential to make the most out of your visit.

From official parking garages to insider tips, this comprehensive guide will ensure you have all the information you need for an unforgettable Red Sox game. So let’s dive in and get ready for a great day at the ballpark!

History of Fenway Park

Locations of gates, special entrances, fenway park policies, accessibility at fenway park, tips for first-time visitors.

I know the story of Fenway Park is a fascinating one. Established in 1912, it’s the oldest major league ballpark in the country and has a rich pedigree. As a baseball enthusiast, I fondly refer to Fenway Park as America’s “most beloved ballpark.” It can seat just short of 38,000 fans and, of course, is home to the legendary Boston Red Sox.

As I learned, the construction of Fenway Park began in September 1911 and completed in time for the start of the 1912 baseball season. The park’s opening day was April 20, 1912. Over the years, Fenway Park has undergone numerous renovations and expansions, but it still maintains much of its original charm and architecture.

A unique aspect of Fenway Park is the famous Green Monster . It’s a 37-feet tall, green-painted wall running another 231-feet long in left field, designed to limit home run hits. This iconic feature of the park has been a challenge for hitters and a delight for spectators since its creation.

Another interesting historical tidbit is that Fenway Park played host to other sports events and concerts as well. It has seen everything from professional football games to hockey matches and even some unforgettable concerts.

In a nutshell, Fenway Park’s rich history is deeply intertwined with the history of baseball itself. As a fan of the sport, I can’t help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for this iconic stadium that has been the backdrop for countless memorable moments in baseball history. Visiting Fenway Park is truly a must-do for any baseball lover or history buff like myself.

Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, has several entrance gates to accommodate the numerous baseball fans and visitors. In this section, I’ll briefly describe the location of each gate to help you find your way around the park.

Gate A is conveniently located at the corner of Jersey Street and Brookline Avenue. This gate is a popular choice for fans as it offers easy access to seats in the park. If this is your first time visiting Fenway, I’d recommend using Gate A for a smooth entry experience.

Moving along, Gate B can be found on Van Ness Street, just behind the Green Monster. It’s a great choice if you’re seated near the left field or if you’re looking for a less crowded entrance.

Gate C is situated along Ipswich Street, making it an excellent choice for those coming from the Landsdowne Street area. This gate provides access to the right field seats and the bleachers.

Gate D is also on Van Ness Street, right next to Gate B, but closer to the right field foul pole. If you’re arriving from the Fenway Station or Kenmore Square areas, this gate might be your best option.

Gate E, located on Lansdowne Street, is perfect for fans who wish to access the park’s right field or center field seats. It’s also a popular spot for pre-game activities, so if you want to grab a quick bite or enjoy some entertainment before the game, Gate E is the place to be.

Finally, Gate K serves as Fenway Park’s VIP entrance gate. The exact location of this gate might not be well-advertised, but it’s generally reserved for those with VIP tickets or special access.

I hope this guide helps you easily navigate Fenway Park’s entrance gates and makes your next visit to the ballpark a memorable one.

As I arrived at Fenway Park, I found myself at Gate A. I noticed that this gate is located on Yawkey Way, right by the famous Fenway Park facade. For first-timers, it’s essential to know this gate’s location, as this is where many fans enter the stadium for Red Sox games.

Finding my way through Gate A was relatively straightforward, as there were signs and friendly staff members directing fans to the right sections. The process was efficient, with security checks ensuring a safe environment for all attending the game.

Inside the stadium, after passing through Gate A, I was immediately greeted by a lively atmosphere. Various food and beverage options were located nearby, allowing me to grab a quick snack before taking my seat. In addition, the Team Store was just a short walk away, giving me the opportunity to pick up some souvenirs for my visit.

Overall, my experience entering through Gate A was smooth and enjoyable. As a friendly tip, I suggest arriving early to avoid long lines and immerse yourself in the Fenway Park experience. So, next time you attend a Red Sox game, keep in mind that Gate A is a convenient and efficient entrance point to explore America’s Most Beloved Ballpark.

When I visited Fenway Park, one of the gates I found quite accessible was Gate B. Located at the corner of Van Ness Street and Ipswich Street, this gate provided easy access to different sections of the park.

As I entered through Gate B, I noticed it led to the Gate B concourse, which is situated behind Section 3 in the east end of Fenway Park. This area is known for hosting the Royal Rooters Club, a well-regarded gathering spot for fans. If you’re looking for a special place to enjoy the game, you may want to consider this area.

In terms of seating, there were plenty of options available near Gate B. From my experience, you can find seats ranging from field boxes to grandstand sections. It’s worth checking out the seating chart beforehand to identify your optimal choice.

One tip I’d like to share for visiting Fenway Park through Gate B is arriving early to beat the crowd. This will allow you to find your seats more easily and take in the pregame atmosphere at your leisure.

Lastly, don’t forget to pick up some traditional ballpark snacks to enjoy during the game. I found the concession stands near Gate B to be well-stocked with treats, from hot dogs to popcorn. I hope this information helps enhance your Fenway Park experience!

Hey there! Let me share with you some useful information about Gate C at Fenway Park. Gate C is actually one of the primary entrances, and it’s conveniently located along Brookline Avenue. This entrance is quite popular as it’s close to several important areas of the ballpark, like the Red Sox Team Store, and provides easy access to different seating sections.

When you enter through Gate C, you’ll find yourself on the lower concourse of the park. From here, you can head to the right to reach the bleachers and the right-field grandstand, or go left to explore the third base side of the ballpark. And if you’re looking for some snacks, worry not! There are various food and drink vendors available near Gate C, catering to different tastes.

To make your Fenway Park experience more enjoyable, I would like to remind you about the bag policy. Bags larger than 5 x 9 x 2 inches are not allowed, and the same goes for glass containers and hard-sided coolers. So, pack accordingly and leave any prohibited items at home or stored safely elsewhere.

Getting to Fenway Park is quite easy, and there are several public transportation options available. The easiest way to reach Gate C is by taking the Green Line on the T to the Kenmore Station, and then walking the short distance along Brookline Avenue. If you’re driving, keep in mind that parking options might be limited, so plan accordingly.

I hope this information helps you have a smooth visit to Fenway Park through Gate C. Enjoy your time at the ballpark, and have fun cheering for the Red Sox!

When I first visited Fenway Park, I was particularly interested in entering through Gate D. Located on the corner of Yawkey Way and Van Ness Street, Gate D offers convenient access to several stadium sections. It’s a nice entry point for anyone attending a Boston Red Sox game, as it’s relatively easy to find.

As I approached Gate D, I noticed it was well-staffed and organized. The friendly staff members were happy to answer any questions I had and efficiently guided me through the entry process. Once inside, I found myself close to various concession stands and restrooms, which is a plus for those who prefer not to search around the stadium.

In terms of seating, Gate D provides access to Grandstand sections 29-33, Loge Box sections 108-112, and Box sections D1-D15. Before my visit, I found it helpful to look at Fenway Park’s seating chart ahead of time to ensure I knew where to go once I entered through this gate.

Lastly, if you’re a fan of team memorabilia, the Red Sox Team Store is near Gate D. I spent some time browsing there and found a great selection of merchandise to remember my visit to Fenway Park.

Overall, my experience at Fenway Park’s Gate D was enjoyable and hassle-free. Entering through this gate allowed me to quickly find my seat, grab some food, and enjoy the game without any stress.

As I was exploring Fenway Park, I discovered some special entrances that may be worth noting in this short guide. Fenway Park has multiple gates and entrances, but I found a few that are particularly helpful for specific groups of guests.

Firstly, the Gate E entrance is dedicated to day-of-game ticket sales, making it convenient for those who decide to attend a game spontaneously. This entrance is located on Lansdowne Street and generally opens 90 minutes before the game, giving fans ample time to find their seats.

Another entrance worth mentioning is Gate K . This gate is specifically designed to facilitate access for families with young children. Located on Jersey Street, it allows for a more streamlined entry process for families, ensuring the little ones don’t have to wait too long in line.

Lastly, guests with disabilities can benefit from a more accessible entrance at Gate D . This gate, also located on Jersey Street, is equipped with ramps and elevators to accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility devices. It ensures that all fans can enjoy the Fenway Park experience with ease and comfort.

While these special entrances are tailored to certain groups, it’s important to note that all guests are welcome to use them as needed. The next time you visit Fenway Park, don’t forget to make use of these entrances to enhance your game day experience!

When I visit Fenway Park for a game, I always remember to abide by their bag policy. Bags larger than 5 x 9 x 2 inches are not allowed inside the park. Additionally, glass containers and hard-sided coolers are prohibited. If I have any luggage that I need to store, I can use nearby luggage storage depots like Bounce for a small fee.

It’s important for me to note that the ticket office’s phone number is 877-REDSOX-9, so I can easily get in touch with them if I have questions or concerns. The general information phone number for Fenway Park is 617-226-6000.

When planning my visit to Fenway Park, I always check the Red Sox website for updates on gate opening times and policies. It’s a good idea to arrive early to ensure enough time to go through security and find a seat. While at the park, I make sure to adhere to their rules and policy to ensure a fun and safe experience for everyone!

In addition to the bag policy, I make sure to consider the park’s rules on certain items that are permitted or not permitted. For example, video cameras, selfie sticks, drones, and professional camera equipment are typically prohibited. So, it is always a good idea to review these policies and see what I can bring before heading to the park.

Overall, my key objective is to ensure I am informed about Fenway Park’s policies—adhering to them not only makes the experience more enjoyable for myself but also for my fellow Red Sox fans.

Wheelchair Access

As someone who wants to make sure Fenway Park is accessible for everyone, I am happy to share that Fenway Park has accommodations for guests with disabilities. Accessible seating and companion seating are available throughout different areas of the park, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the game comfortably. I noticed that there are also accessibility assistants ready to help those who may need additional assistance.

In case you’re worried about parking, Fenway Park has accessible parking options. These parking spots are located close to the entrance, making it convenient for guests with limited mobility.

Service Animals

I understand that some visitors may require the assistance of their service animals while attending a game at Fenway Park. Good news! Fenway Park welcomes service animals. These furry helpers are allowed to accompany their owners as long as they are properly trained and leashed.

Remember, Fenway Park is dedicated to providing an enjoyable experience for all of its guests. With wheelchair access and service animal accommodations, everyone can have a fantastic time at this iconic ballpark.

It’s always exciting visiting Fenway Park for the first time! As a fan who’s been there before, I have some friendly advice to help make your first experience at America’s Most Beloved Ballpark a memorable one.

First things first, arriving early to Fenway Park is highly recommended. This gives you ample time to explore the iconic venue without feeling rushed. You’ll have time to take photos, shop for souvenirs, and maybe even catch some batting practice. Plus, arriving early means you won’t get stuck in long lines at the entrance gates.

Speaking of entrance gates, Fenway Park has six different gates you can use to enter the ballpark. These are Gate A located at the corner of Jersey Street and Brookline Avenue, Gate B, Gate C, Gate D, Gate E, and Gate K. To make sure you’re entering at the right location, check your ticket for your recommended gate.

In terms of bag policy, Fenway Park has strict rules. You won’t be allowed into the park with a bag larger than 5 x 9 x 2 inches. It’s best to pack light, so you can avoid any potential hassle. If you need luggage storage while you enjoy the game, there are safe options nearby for just $5.90/day.

Now, when it comes to food, you must try a Fenway Frank – trust me, they’re delicious. There’s something magical about enjoying a ballpark hotdog while taking in the atmosphere of a Red Sox game. And don’t forget to join in when the crowd sings “Sweet Caroline;” it’s a Fenway Park tradition!

Finally, if you’re driving to the park, input Fenway Park’s address (4 Jersey St, Boston, MA) into your GPS. Just remember that parking can be limited and expensive around the ballpark. It might be worth looking into public transportation options to save some time and money.

I hope these tips help make your first visit to Fenway Park a home run! Enjoy the game and have a fantastic time.

Fenway Park Tour Entrance

Our tour departed from Gate D (after we walked around the whole stadium practically because we arrived on the wrong side!)

You’ll see it across from the Team Souvenir store.

Fenway Park Tour – Need to Knows

Lots of the tour involved stair climbing , but they can make it accessible if there are mobility issues in your party with the use of elevators (just make sure to let them know)
No bags or backpacks are allowed in the tour . No exceptions. Purses are okay, but luggage or anything that goes on your back are not, and you’ll be asked to leave it with one of their partner luggage storage places about a 5 minute walk away. We had to pay $5 to drop the bag off, and it was returned to us completely in tact but it’s important to know so you can make arrangements if you have luggage with you.
The tour lasts for about 1 hour , and is a great introduction for anyone who doesn’t know too much about the Red Sox, but the guide will also make sure that any diehard fans with a lot of knowledge already will get even more of an inside scoop and can talk “shop” with you.

Fenway Park Tour Review

Ready to tour Fenway Park?

We were too, as we aren’t big baseball fans but love a bit of history and professional sports stadiums.

There’s something about Bostonians that make you want to love everything that they love because they’re so passionate about it, and the Red Sox are no different (apologies to any other rival teams out there, we’ll visit your stadiums too!).

The tour started with airport style security to make sure that we were all set, and then we gathered around inside the stadium to learn a little bit more about some of the movies and TV shows that we might have seen the stadium in.

We had about 20 to 25 people on our tour, and this was one of the only complaints we had.

The tour guide did use a microphone, and it makes sense given the popularity of the tours, but you did need to make sure that you were “in front” or closely listening at all times as otherwise the size of the group could make it a little difficult to follow along.

As we worked our way around the stadium, we learned about its history as the oldest active MLB park in America, and it’s clear how much pride the Red Sox take in this history.

In fact, you can sit in some of the original seats to the park that are still in use today, and while they’re not the most comfortable around, many fans love them for their rich history.

While we were there, Fenway was actually getting ready to be used as a football field (yes, seriously) and along the way the guide told us about the other uses of Fenway, including as an ice skating rink at one time and also a soccer field!

The entire structure is iconic, from the CITGO sign to that classic green color, and the history and stories of the Red Sox really comes to life as you go around.

You’re allowed to take pictures almost everywhere, and if you do get some great photos, pair them up with these Boston quotes and captions to really make your friends and family envious!

You’ll get to sit in the press area to see where the reporters can view the games from, as well as get clued in on some of the behind-the-scenes operational things like the garden where a lot of the food for the concessions stands is grown.

We learned a lot about the famous Green Monster on the Red Sox stadium tour, which is a giant green wall that is so tall that it’s known for preventing home runs – home runs that would have definitely made it all the way out of the park in other stadiums.

We also got to sit in the “Green Monster” seats which are beloved by many fans and provide an awesome and unique view of the park, as well as learn about the manual efforts needed to change the scoreboards.

Many people have left legacies at the ball park, including Babe Ruth, and the guide will point out the “lone red seat,” which marks the furthest home run ever hit at Fenway by a player named Ted Williams.

In addition to exploring the architecture and culture of the shrine that is Fenway Park (it’s a Boston landmark, officially, so no one’s making any major changes to it anytime soon!), you’ll also learn about the team and stadium’s efforts towards inclusion and the celebration of famous African-American figures in baseball who broke barriers for those who came after them at a time when African-Americans were not seen as equal in the sporting world.

The tour ends with an opportunity to ask any questions, use the bathrooms before heading out, and purchase your photos that a professional photographer takes of you and your travel companions earlier in the hour.

Is the Fenway Park Stadium Tour Worth It?

Touring Fenway Park isn’t the cheapest thing to do in Boston, but is it worth it?

In our opinion, absolutely.

There’s no better tour for understanding the culture of Boston (much of which revolves around sports and the love for their city) and the fascinating history of baseball than at Fenway Park.

What it lacks in size, it makes up for in character and in the stories that could be told in the seats you can still sit in today.

The guides are passionate about the Red Sox and about the stadium, and this is a great supplement to a game or instead of one, even if you’re not traditionally a sports fan.

Can You See Fenway Park without a Tour?

You can’t simply visit Fenway Park without a tour unless you have a ticket for a game, and even then, access to things like the Press Room and Green Monster seats are not open to you (unless you have the right credentials for either).

They make sure when you finish the tour that you exit, and you can’t roam around on your own for security reasons, so taking a tour is really the best way to learn more about the park and explore areas that many fans may not even have been allowed to go before.

The latest breaking updates, delivered straight to your email inbox.

Boston Red Sox icon David "Big Papi" Ortiz was known for delivering in the biggest moments while in the batter's box, so of course he would deliver on his promise to personally escort a Make-A-Wish recipient from Massachusetts around Fenway Park.

In April, Ortiz was honored with the Make-A-Wish Hero Award during the 40th anniversary gala for Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Make-A-Wish revealed during the gala that 14-year-old Dominic Driscoll, of Middleborough, would have his wish granted and Ortiz surprised everyone by telling Dominic he would be the one to show him around Fenway on his wish day.

Big Papi took Dominic into the Red Sox clubhouse and inside the Green Monster before Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ortiz also gave Dominic's family — mom, Kristen; dad, Bill; his older sister, Natalia; and his younger brother, Gabrien — the VIP tour of Fenway Park.

Dominic also got to watch batting practice from the field before throwing out the ceremonial first pitch to Ortiz while wearing the custom Red Sox jersey gifted to him by the team.

The Red Sox went on to defeat the Dodgers 8-5 .

Dominic, who has undergone three open heart surgeries, is one of the top baseball prospects in the country, according to Make-A-Wish. He hopes to be the first player with a congenital heart disease to be drafted by a Major League Baseball team.

He also raises awareness and funding for congenital heart disease charities, a cause close to Big Papi's heart and the focus of The David Ortiz Children's Fund .

Ortiz has granted 39 wishes through Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

David Coffin sings the praises of going unplugged, packing light, and eating raisins

We caught up with the boston harbor cruise guide to talk about all things travel.

If you ask David Coffin, he will tell you that most people don’t understand the full scope of maritime music. “They think it’s just sea shanties, but those are a very specific kind of song … rhythmic songs that [crew members] would sing on ships while they were working,” said the New Haven native. “Sea shanties are an entry point into maritime music, but there are so many others like whaling songs and songs about being at sea.” Coffin, 64, is a well-known area raconteur who performs maritime concerts, leads maritime music programs in schools, and has been the master of ceremonies for ‘Christmas Revels’ — held annually at the Sanders Theatre in Cambridge in celebration of winter solstice — for more than four decades. He has also been guiding tours for Boston Harbor cruises for nearly 25 years and said he is excited about a new harbor cruise he created and narrates for Boston Harbor City Cruises called the Boston Lighthouse and Outer Harbor Cruise, which is offered Thursday-Sunday through May 12. “People are enamored with lighthouses, and on this two-hour cruise, we show them four lighthouses and one surprise lighthouse,” said Coffin, who said there will be a musical component to the cruise. “I really enjoy storytelling — and there is so much history right here in Boston Harbor. To me, every trip is a performance, and even though it’s been almost 25 years [as a tour guide] and has [included] the same information, it never gets old.” Coffin added that he has the “coolest office in town — and it floats. And I’m so successful that I have windows on all four sides of my office.” We caught up with the father of three (one adult daughter and two adult stepchildren), who lives in Gloucester with his wife, Kirsten Wiberg, and their two dogs, two cats, and one bird, to talk about all things travel.

If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you go? I’d go to Fiji. Why? I think the water speaks for itself.

Do you prefer booking trips through a travel agent or on your own? My wife takes care of it.

Thoughts on an “unplugged” vacation? I’m all for it. Hard to do but very healthy for the brain.

What has been your worst vacation experience? It was a busman’s holiday — meaning it was a holiday but I was still working — on a Carnival Cruise about 20 years ago. It was like a floating city with thousands of people. Never again.

What is your favorite childhood travel memory? Flying back from Paris, where we were visiting my grandparents when I was 6 or 7, and the plane lost an engine — so we had three instead of four. Everyone lost their appetite, so I had a lot of extra desserts. Remember, I was a child and since we were still flying, everything seemed fine to me.

Do you vacation to relax, to learn, or for the adventure of it all? Strictly to relax. My last vacation was an enforced vacation.

What book do you plan on bringing with you to read on your next vacation? Nothing. Reading takes me away from where I am, and I didn’t travel all that distance to get away from where I went.

If you could travel with one famous person/celebrity, who would it be? My wife.

What is the best gift to give a traveler? An amazing restaurant recommendation and a prepaid bill.

What is your go-to snack for a flight or a road trip? Trail mix — any kind with raisins — and ginger ale.

What is the coolest souvenir you’ve picked up on a vacation? A hole in my foot from stepping on a sea urchin at a beach in Spain. It was low tide and I was way out there on my own. I was a young kid and all I remember is that I couldn’t walk for a couple of days, and I got lots of ice cream.

What is your favorite app/website for travel? None. My wife makes travel arrangements and goes through the airlines directly.

What has travel taught you? Get there early.

What is your best travel tip? Unpack half your suitcase and leave the items you unpacked at home. You don’t need as much as you think you do.

About The Marías

The Marías are the Grammy-nominated psychedelic-soul lovechild of Puerto Rican-bred, Atlanta-raised María Zardoya and Los Angeles native, Josh Conway. The two are joined by their closest friends, Jesse Perlman on guitar and Edward James on keys. Their undeniably intuitive musical chemistry can be heard in the band’s smooth rendezvous of jazz percussion, hypnotic guitar riffs, smoke-velvet vocals and nostalgic horn solos. There’s something undeniably sensual in their dreamlike fusion of jazz, psychedelia, funk and lounge. Since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, Cinema , The Marías have earned the reputation behind their impressive upward trajectory, including two Grammy nominations, a Billboard chart-topper and collaborations with some of the biggest names in Latin music, including Bad Bunny and Tainy. In the live show, The Marías are joined by Gabe Steiner on trumpet and Doron Zounes on bass. The detail that has defined their cinematic style off-stage is brought to life during their live performance as the group delivers striking visuals that beautifully compliment their dreamlike songs, creating an indisputably unique and seemingly transportive experience. Their upcoming sophomore album Submarine , set for release on May 31st, features new single “Run Your Mouth,” which garnered over one million streams in its first week of release.
