Located in a charming cobblestone promenade, Faneuil Hall dates back from 1742, and is a great spot to shop, eat, explore, and be entertained by top-notch street performers. Definitely a tourist hot-spot, Faneuil Hall can get crowded but is definitely worth visiting a there are historical attractions within such as the armory and museum, and this is a great place to pick up crafts and souvenirs. 

Although the hall has been a market and meeting place since it was built there have been many modifications over the years, including the addition of three more buildings (North Market, South Market, and Quincy Markey) which gave additional spaces that operate as an indoor/ outdoor mall and food hall. Look for the gilded grasshopper weathervane on top of the hall – it is the only part of the building to remain completely untouched since 1742. The entire area is accessible, with wheelchairs ramps and elevators throughout.  

If you’re lucky enough to be in Boston for a game, then Fenway Park is a must, and baseball fans will probably want to stop in at this iconic stadium even if the Red Sox aren’t in town and take advantage of one of the 50-minute tours offered there. If you do go, be sure to head to the Bleacher Bar (under the bleachers in center field) for a beer and one of their award winning sandwiches.

If you are attending a Red Sox game, there are accessible spaces for wheelchair users located throughout the stadium. The Fenway Park tours are also fully accessible and guests with access concerns do not need to schedule tours in advance. 

For more than 40 years, the New England Aquarium has been a world leader in marine conservation, and has educated and entertained the public with its excellent displays. The fun Penguinology exhibit is home to more than 80 birds and three different species, there are of course many tanks full of fish and underwater life (including a giant ocean tank and shark touch tanks). There are also adorable and entertaining seals, and exhibits showing local marine life. You’ll find a wide variety of special programs and activities listed on their website to help you plan your visit.

Wheelchair users will be happy to know that access to the aquarium is free from them, and there are virtually no areas within that they won’t be able to access.
