Following the Red Sox baseball team is a bit like a religion in Boston and tours of the park they play at are a must for anyone on “pilgrimage”. Even if you’re not into baseball though, you can still appreciate the size, history and atmosphere of this place. Tours run daily – even on game days – and you can get tickets from the Team Store on Yawkey Way. If you’ve never been to a baseball game, we’d recommend you try and get tickets. It’s a real experience! Fenway Park is in Back Bay near Kenmore Sqaure. Nearest T stop is Fenway or Kenmore Square. This is an extract from our free Boston City Guide.

We really liked the sense of history at Fenway Park. Almost everywhere you look you can see momentos of the glory days, from the banners outside the park to the trophies inside. Tours of Fenway Park operate on non-game days on the hour from 9am to 4pm daily and on game days from 9am until three and a half hours before the game. The tours last around 50 minutes and are led by an official guide. The adult tour price is $12, Seniors $11, Children (3-15) $10 (2010 prices). There are additional options on game days too including the Batting Practice Tour which is the last tour before the game, and the Postgame Feild Tour which is the first tour after a game. See the Red Sox Tours website for more.
