#26 The Skywalk Observatory at the Prudential Center

The Skywalk Observatory at the Prudential Center
800 Boylston Street
Boston, MA 02199-8001

Cost: $10.00, with a student ID.

Travel Time: 5 min on MBTA Green Line to the Prudential Stop



This was a really cool tourist thing, the time spent there just
depends on who you are with. I think we may have spent at most a half an hour observing the Boston Skyline. The top of the Pru has a view of the entire city of Boston. I think my favorite part was the ability to see all of Northeastern Campus, it was also kinda surreal to be able to see every building from a new and different perspective.

This is an interactive skywalk if you will, and on the inside walls there are different exhibits you can connect with, they include some interesting facts about well known Bostonians. Different perspectives on historical events that happened in Boston. As well as a trip down memory lane for all those great Boston Sports teams.

If you have out of towners visiting, this is a great place to take them for a quick cool down, especially in this summer's heat.

Side note: This place is also an even hall, so there are some days where it will be closed, you should check their website or call ahead to make sure its
open. When we went it was closing early at 3 for a private affair.
