Suggestions for Arts and Entertainment near Boston

Miriam G. • November 2, 2014One of the best art museums I've been to. One day won't be enough to see it all, especially if you want to catch a movie.

Ali • December 4, 2017Beautiful with relatively good acoustics. Very helpful and polite staff. The drinks and snacks menu need a serious upgrade though.

Dirty B. • August 9, 2014Seriously impressive, well done with a lot to see and read. Great gift shop as well.

Rebecca B. • April 2, 2018Nothing says Boston like the ducklings, so make sure you drop by if you are visiting. It is a great photo opportunity because kids love sitting on their backs.

Kathy D. • August 21, 2016Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous building and the band Boston made for a fantastic ngiht!

Chris C. • February 13, 2010You could spend an entire day here and still want to come back to see everything you missed. Membership highly recommended.

Kaitlin H. • February 28, 2016Great place for Toddlers. Love the kidspace room on 2nd floor and water exhibit. Bubble exhibit is also one that you don't want miss!

Cameron R. • May 1, 2017Love this hidden gem! Great place to go on a Sunday night w/friends(or special someone)to hear live music. Cheap drinks, friendly, crowded, but it's loud; not great if you want a conversation.

Nathaniel S. • October 15, 2017The building itself is beautiful, and the art is of course pretty fantastic for a private collection.

Cameron R. • May 1, 2017Great venue to watch a ballet. I've sat in almost every section & never a bad seat. I love all the the marble work & chrystal chandeliers. Gorgeous theatre. They also check ALL bags at the doors.

Al A. • December 4, 2016Kudos Emerson College!!! Beautiful Old Theater! All of the staff were simply amazing! Kind, happy, polite, helpful, but most of all, they were happy people!!

Garrett O. • June 12, 2010Any 4th of July this is the place to be in Boston -- but ARRIVE EARLY, as there are more than 300,000+ in attendance and it is first come, first spot... no reservations, and bring everything you need

Sheldon F. • September 28, 2015Attended a friend's wedding here. Pleasant staff, very helpful, a beautiful Boston gem, historic brickwork and original machinery.

Mark S. • November 11, 2019Fantastic old theatre, sight lines are great as are the acoustics, the seats are tight though and the lobby can get very crowded.

Rob S. • September 9, 2010If you visit here during Baseball season, they have a $5 menu that is available between first and last pitch. It's a limited menu, but everything's $5 or less. Tasty, and worth every penny!

Gavin H. • July 12, 2015Excellent interactive displays. Colorful imagery in galleries. Cool life size models of famous characters. Great for kids, both young and old.

Rebecca B. • August 4, 2017Always a good show but get there early if you want to be near the front. Go with friends and bring a picnic dinner.

Enrico S. • June 22, 2015Beautiful concert hall with great acoustic. Lots of free concerts going on.

Gabriel P. • December 24, 2012Valet Parking is $30 and it takes 30 min to get your car after the performance.

Kim U. • August 12, 2016Can't go wrong with Blueman group and they updated their bar.

Eric O. • December 7, 2015During intermission, the bar on the balcony level will be open.

Louis A. • March 28, 2014Best venue in Boston. Not a bad spot in the place. Never a wait for drinks, sound is very good - and Sunset grill is next door. Parking... That's a different story.

Andrew C. • August 31, 2015Great time messing around with a group of friends! Staff was friendly and helpful. Great for groups!

James C. • June 19, 2016The experience is outstanding and really interactive.

CHESKA • May 12, 2013Awesome fun! Small enough that the view is great from any seat!

Meagan H. • November 10, 2013Great shows! They offer drinks too, and tickets are reasonable.

Social N. • December 2, 2013Take the tour before you visit the museum. They give great background on some of the pieces!

Zara F. • October 25, 2014Excellent tour. The perfect blend of history and entertainment. I'm not normally a fan of tours with actors but this one really works and is always fun.

Sofia U. • December 19, 2017Best that Boston got

Keith B. • February 10, 2012This space is an architectural marvel. The bent steel stairs (painted bright green) are phenomenal.
