The site was really cool even though it was a couple feet off of where it should have been. It makes sense that they didn't put the memorial right in the middle of the road though. Boston in general was super awesome to see all...Read More

This was probably my most favorite historical site in the entire city. I walked over from across the street and happened onto a tour group. The guide was friendly and entertaining, and also very knowledgeable and informative on the history of the site. I enjoyed...Read More

The juxtaposition of this building in the city is beautiful! The site of the Boston massacre where a total of 5 people died back in 1770 is also a museum! The museum does have an entrance fee. COVID Safety rating: 9/10, pretty safe. Some parts of...Read More

It seems like a site as significant as the Boston Massacre should have some kind of monument and not just this marker on the ground. We walked right past it and had to go back. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't even...Read More

Wey interesting place to see and visit. It is near to see a place that I've heard so much about from history books and put into perspective where something like this happened.

Excellent tour that gave me a new understanding and reality of the revolutionary war period and the key people who played a role in era. Amazing, and sad, but educational.

A historical location you'll visit as part of your Freedom Trail walk. Standing at the location where the Boston Massacre occurred is a profound experience. It's typically a bit busy, as it's located near main roads and walkways, with pedestrians coming and going, but it's...Read More

After reading about the history of this horrible incident, the visit to this site was quite moving. It is a well-preserved site, and there are city ambassadors close by to tell you about its significance.

I missed it twice and got lost. Finally, I found it. What was strange? The trolley tour mentions the building, but not that it was the site of the massacre?

Very busy right now so we didn’t park and walk around. It definitely stood out from the rest of the city! So you can’t miss it. There was a lot of people walking around, some wear masks some weren’t. It was a very busy Sunday...Read More

Nothing comparable to standing where history was made and seeing what others saw hundreds of years ago. There is so much that is well preserved and documented. It is really cool to come up out of a subway and find yourself in the middle...Read More

It was neat to see the site of the Boston Massacre. You can go inside the Old State House, but there wasn't much other than the marker on the outside to see.

The Jan 6th exhibit has no place there and is miss represented in my opinion. Otherwise it's a great piece of history of how the republic was started
