We got 4 free tickets to visit View Boston at the top of the Prudential Center building, which has a big downtown shopping mall downstairs, and was easily accessible from the hotel we were staying at (Westin Copley Place) connected by a couple overstreet bridges....so, we didn't need to walk out on the open streets to get here.
We still needed to buy one ticket as we were only given 4 by our hotel. It was easy though, as just across from the entrance to the elevators are several self service kiosks where you can buy your tickets. After purchasing them, you just cross the walkway to the front entrance, get your ticket(s) scanned, and just go down the hallway to the elevators. I can see how during busy times, there may be a line, but for us, there were very few people visiting, so we got to the elevators and went straight up to the 52nd floor.... and later came back down from the 50th floor.
Wow! What an incredibly awesome and breathtaking 360-degree view of Boston! Simply amazing! I can never grow tired of gazing out into these kinds of stunning views from so high up as it gives me such an overwhelming feeling of freedom, joy, happiness.... and gives me real hope that, despite all the craziness in the world today, there are still opportunities like these that take us away from and make us forget about all our everyday stresses, even for just a few minutes.
Ok, now that I've finished my daydreaming...up here, they have a bar, and restaurant, and small gift shop too.....it likely would have been fun to enjoy a drink and/or dinner and great views up here, but we had other plans.
Great experience and highly recommended.
