Entertainment & Activities
This is where the Red Sox play, and even if you don't like or understand baseball, a home game is a real Boston experience. (Even my wife loves Fenway, and she's a New York Yankees fan.) We go to a lot of games and can advise you or help you get tickets if you want. Baseball season runs from April into early October, but tours are available year round.
