This is the home of Red Sox greats such as Ted Williams, Carlton Fisk, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz (Big Papi), Wade Boggs, Johnny Pesky, Carl Yastrzemski (Yaz), Jim Rice, Luis Tiant, and many other notable legends.

If you're a fan of these baseball stars, this is one of the best ways to get a closer look at the ballpark where they made history.

Public Tours

This 1-hour tour is perfect for anyone who may or may not be familiar with the Boston Red Sox. 

It provides an insider look and a lot of information about the team, their historic ballpark, and some of the most famous baseball stars who have ever played in Fenway.

Guests can expect to see historic sites such as the 37-foot tall (11-meter) Green Monster, Pesky's Pole, and even the Fenway Park Living Museum which houses an extensive collection of exhibits, including several notable stadium artifacts and historic photographs.

It is available year-round, during both the regular season and the off-season.

At the time of booking, you can select when you want to take the tour: either 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm, or 5 pm.

Reviewers seem to be very happy with this activity ( read reviews here ).

Even visitors who didn’t know much about baseball enjoyed their experience during a tour of Fenway. This tour was described as fun, insightful, and very informative.

Visitors who didn’t enjoy the other tours recommend taking this one instead to save money and get more bang for your buck.

If you plan on taking this tour during a game day, reviewers recommend getting there as early as possible and preparing for large crowds.

Fenway in Fifteen

Fenway also offers a quick 15-minute tour for those on a budget or time constraints.

This option includes a look at the Nation’s Archives at the Royal Rooters Club and a visit to the Right Field Roof Deck. 

At the end of your short journey through Red Sox history, you’ll be treated to a wonderful panoramic view of both the ballpark and the Boston skyline.

This tour is only available on game days and weekends from 12 pm – 3 pm.

• Prices: $15 for Adults | $15 for Children
• Duration: 15 minutes

This is an excellent option if it is on a game day and you don’t have a lot of time before the game.

The Rooters Club includes a lot of wonderful memorabilia and it’s a great place for sports history buffs to visit. 

Sadly, some guests indicate that you might not see much more on this tour than you would during the average game at Fenway Park. 

Some visitors feel that the panoramic view is nice, but other reviewers say it is no better than any view you will experience while at a game.

TOURS THAT ARE AVAILABLE ONLY ON GAME DAYS

Even if you decide to come on a game day, there are still tours available at Fenway Park.

In this section, we will describe each tour option and include details such as admission prices & availability.

On game days, the last tour they offer will depart 3 hours before game time.

NOTE:  The public tour listed above is also available on game days.

Pre-Game Tour

This experience allows guests into the park before the general public and opens with a trip to the warning track where you can walk in the footsteps of Red Sox legends such as Johnny Damon and Ted Williams. 

The Pregame Tour ends with a visit to the Monster Seats on top of the Green Monster where you will have a great chance of grabbing a fly ball off the bats of players who are warming up.

Admission for this tour is only available at the park on game days approximately 3 hours before the game begins.

• Prices: $40 for Adults | $40 for Children
• Availability: Only on game days
• Duration: 45-60 minutes

This tour is popular among die-hard fans who are familiar with the history of Fenway and want to enjoy the opportunity to explore areas that are typically off-limits to visitors. 

Red Sox fans tend to appreciate the chance to sit in seats that are usually reserved and visit the Green Monster.

Unfortunately, this tour is not always as informative as the public tour, but it’s still valuable for fans of the team.

Several guests note that batting practice is free to watch if you arrive early, so you don’t need to pay extra to see it on this tour.

Premium Day Game Tour

If you’re looking for a more family-friendly tour of Fenway Park, this is going to be your best option. 

Not only will you have the opportunity to meet Wally the Green Monster, but you’ll also have the chance to take a photo on the warning track.

Additionally, you will learn a lot about the history of Fenway and the Boston Red Sox.

This tour is only available for afternoon games before 3 pm. You may be asked to pay an extra fee for your picture.

• Availability: Only on afternoon game days

Much like the pregame tour, this option is particularly popular among Red Sox fans who want the opportunity to meet their favorite mascot and get a photo at Fenway. 

Several customers have been unhappy about paying extra to receive the photo which is taken either in front of home plate or on the warning track. 

This opportunity may not be worth the extra cost for visitors who are more interested in learning about the park and its history.

8 WAYS TO SAVE AND COMBO DEALS

If you’re looking for a good deal on one of the tours at Fenway Park, there are a few options to consider.

The following section will provide details about all of the different ways you can save money on this activity.

1. Go City Boston Pass

This is going to be the best way to save money on the Fenway Park tour. The Go City Boston Pass has 2 options and each includes the Public Fenway Park Tour .

If you get the Go City Boston Explorer Pass , you can save up to 50% off your choice of 2, 3, 4, or 5 activities in Beantown.

Travelers considering this card can choose from 20 additional attractions in order to get the most out of the Explorer Pass.

Alternatively, you can also get the All-Inclusive Pass which includes the Fenway Park tour and 38 additional attractions for one flat price.

Here are just a handful of the additional activities and locations included with the cost of this pass:

• Boston Children's Museum
• New England Aquarium
• Franklin Park Zoo
• Museum of Science

If you're interested in even a few of these attractions, you could save a lot of money with this service.

The Fenway tour is available with the 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7-day passes.

2. Military Discounts

Guests who have either served or are currently serving in the military are eligible for $4 off admission for the main tour of Fenway.

In order to take advantage of this opportunity, you must purchase admission directly from Fenway Park and provide your military identification.

3. Deal Sites

In addition to the opportunities listed above, you can also save some money on the Fenway Park tour by using services such as Groupon and Living Social .

In the past, these websites have sold admission to Fenway Park tours, and there is a chance they will offer lower prices on these services again in the future.

Both of these sites offer additional promotional credit every now and then to sweeten the deal, helping you to save an extra 20% off or more on local activities.

Make sure to check both the top and bottom of the deal site for banners with coupons that you can use for additional savings.

4. Children's Discount

Admission for kids between the ages of 3-12 are eligible for $6 off the general admission price.

This is a great way to save money on admission if you're coming with your family.

5. Senior Discount

Fenway Park does not currently advertise any special prices for senior citizens.

Even so, we recommend reaching out to them ahead of time to see if they offer any unadvertised deals for seniors.

6. Student Discount

There currently are not any advertised deals on Fenway Park tours for students.

Consider reaching out to them ahead of time to find out if they have any unadvertised deals students might be eligible for.

7. AAA Deals

Although AAA offers a lot of deals for their members, they currently are not offering any special deals on Fenway Park Tours.

This may change in the future, and you should check your account to see if there are any promotional credits available when you plan to take the tour.

8. Group Pricing

While Fenway Park does offer group tours, they consider this a private tour, and prices are actually a bit more expensive than the typical public tour.

If you are interested, here are the prices for Group tours of 12 or more guests:

• $20/Children (3-12)

RED SOX GAME TICKETS

There are a few different ways to get admission for Red Sox games.

In addition to single-game ticket options, you can also purchase a package for multiple games which is typically available at a low cost. 

Depending on where your seat is located, you can expect prices to range from $20 for the upper bleachers to $150+ for the field boxes.

Get Tickets Online

If you’re looking to order online, you can do so directly from the MLB.com website .

However, you might find even better deals and prices by using StubHub instead.

This is an online marketplace for people who have purchased tickets to events that they can no longer attend. 

If you buy them well in advance, you can even save money over the normal price.

Get a Ticket at the Park

Needless to say, you can purchase game day admission directly at the park if they are available.

Popular game days may be sold out when you arrive, so it’s probably a better idea to purchase admission online ahead of time.

Self-Guided Fenway Park Tour

If you’re heading to Fenway Park to take in a game, make sure you see a few things while you’re there.

Also, brush up on the words to Sweet Caroline.  Some of the listed items below are covered on the paid Fenway Park tours.

THE TRIANGLE

This is a section of center field created by seating with a far-right corner which is 420′ from home plate.

Can you imagine hitting a ball that far?! Or even worse, hitting a ball 357′ (all it would take for a homer in Philly) and not getting a home run! 

Of course, hit it to the left or right, and you’re golden. Fenway has the shortest distance to either side in MLB (310 and 302′).

Make no mistake: despite the triangle, this is one of the best hitters parks in the game of baseball.

WILLIAMSBURG

Built in the 1940s, the bullpen was extended along the right-center field bleachers to decrease the distance needed for a home run by 23′ (for the benefit of left-handed hitter Ted Williams, hence the nickname!)

THE RED SEAT

Most seats in the right field section of Fenway are green with the exception of just one. This single red seat marks the distance of the longest home run.

Hit in 1946 by Ted Williams, the seat in Section 42, Row 37, Seat 21 was occupied by a gentleman who was hit in the head! 

After the event, he said “How far away must one sit to be safe in this park? I didn’t even get the ball.

They say it bounced a dozen rows higher, but after it hit my head, I was no longer interested.”

What makes that story even better – the guy was a Yankees fan. I don’t need to tell you about the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, right?

(Babe Ruth is said to have likely hit a home run farther, but it was before these seats were built here – and it’s Babe Ruth, so it’s a given, right?)

THE GREEN MONSTER

The most notable feature of Fenway is the famous Green Monster. It’s a 37′ (11 m) tall green wall in left field that steals home runs from many line-drive hitters, leading to a whole lot of doubles at Fenway.

It’s the highest wall in the MLB.

For most of its history, it was just called “The Wall” – but then Pink Floyd came around.

The Green Monster is now also the Red Sox mascot, an actual green furry monster named Wally. They are so clever!

Located on the wall is the scoreboard which is still updated by hand.

CURSE OF THE BAMBINO

Probably the most known fact about the Red Sox is their drought of championships – well, that and their rivalry with the Red Sox.

In 1903, the Red Sox won their first World Series. They won again in 1912, 1915, 1916, and 1918…. and then experienced an 84-year drought.

That’s right, it wasn’t until 2004 that they won another World Series Championship. So what happened?

Many say, in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way, that it was the Curse of the Bambino. In 1920, the Red Sox sold the rights to Babe Ruth to their rivals, the Yankees. 

Why one may ask? Well, some say it was to finance a Broadway play, of course. Ever heard of My Lady Friends? (Me either, so one may wonder if it was a wise choice!)

And since the sale of Babe Ruth, the Red Sox would not win another World Series Championship until 2004.

They went to the World Series 4 times in those 84 years, losing twice to the Cardinals – and in 2004, they won against the Cardinals. 

Not only did they win, but they also swept the Cardinals, never falling behind once.

As if that weren’t good enough, they had to beat the Yankees in order to get to the World Series.

Fenway Park Living Museum

You will need to take a Fenway Park tour to get admission to this museum, but it is absolutely worth it if you're a fan of the Boston Red Sox.

Visitors can expect to see more than 170,000 artifacts, including 24,000 3-D artifacts, a variety of memorabilia, dozens of World Series team-signed baseballs and game-used baseball bats, and more in the Fenway Park collection.

They also have 17 different displays covering the history of both the Red Sox and Fenway; 8 in the Nation's Archives at the Royal Rooter's Club and 8 in the Fenway Park concourses.

This variety of historical displays includes information about Fenway's early years, notable moments to remember from the 1930s, 1940s-1980s, 1990s-2008, the 2013 World Series display, historic Fenway Park lockers, and more.

They even have separate World Series baseball bat display areas from 2004, 2007, and 2013. They also have a World Series baseball display!

Learn all about the most renowned moments in the history of this team while taking a look at their extensive collection of Red Sox memorabilia and learning about the careers of team legends.

Fenway is home to more than 100 years of baseball history and has been the site of some of the best moments in the game.

Although we do our best to provide all the information you'll need to enjoy a tour at Fenway Park, there is always a chance that we will miss the details you were hoping to find.

That's why we have a Boston Travel Tips group on Facebook, where you can ask any additional questions you may have.

If you're wondering just how helpful our group members can be, here are a few interesting comments to consider:

If you were wondering whether or not any of the Fenway Park tours include a visit to the field, it's worth noting that this activity only seems to take place during Pre-Game Tours.

Even then, there's no guarantee that you'll visit the field during the tour, but that doesn't seem to affect how much guests enjoy their tour of Fenway.

As Laura notes, sometimes getting that on-field experience is as easy as signing up for it on game day when you arrive.

Even if you're not a baseball fan, there's a chance that you'll enjoy a tour of Fenway Park. There's so much history behind this ballpark, as it is literally the oldest stadium still in use in the Major Leagues today.

A lot of our group members agree that this tour is an excellent activity even just to learn about the history of the structure alone.

Everything You Need to Know About Fenway Park Public Tours

There’s nothing else quite like attending a Red Sox game at historic Fenway Park. Fenway franks, the fabled Green Monster, and the tradition of singing “Sweet Caroline” are all part of what makes the ballpark unique and why it attracts millions of visitors from all over the country every year.

But have you ever attended a ballgame or concert at Fenway Park and wondered what it would be like to go behind the scenes and see America’s most beloved ballpark up close without being surrounded by thousands of other cheering fans?

Well, you can do just that by taking a Fenway Park tour! While few things compare to seeing the Boston Red Sox play live, taking in the park when it’s silent and empty and learning about its history is a whole other experience that anyone interested in baseball or Boston’s history should explore.

Here is everything you need to know about the types of Fenway Park public tours that are available, what you can expect to see during each tour, and how to prepare for your visit so you’re comfortable and get the most out of the experience!

It's Fun for the Major League Baseball Fan

It's fun for the history buff, it's fun for families, fenway park tour schedule, will i get to walk onto the field during a fenway park tour, public tours, fenway in fifteen tour, pregame tour, day game premium tour, ultimate birthday package, take me to fenway tour, online tour tickets, are there discounts available for fenway park tours, are fenway park tours accessible for wheelchairs, take public transportation, wear comfortable shoes, bring water on a hot day, bring an appropriately sized bag, buy tour tickets ahead of time, is a fenway park tour worth it, why tour fenway park.

Fenway’s tours are popular with baseball fans and non-fans alike. They’re so popular, in fact, that they tend to sell out ahead of time. They also operate year-round, even if it’s raining or snowing (with the exception of the area’s nor’easters, of course.)

A Fenway Park tour is a fun experience that’s not just for Red Sox fans. Dare we say it, but even Yankee fans have raved about them in reviews! If you fall into any of the following categories, you should definitely take a tour.

If you’re a baseball fan, taking a Fenway Park tour will have you walking in the footsteps of some of the legends that have played there including Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Carl “Yaz” Yastrzemski, David Ortiz, and countless others. You’ll get to see the field and the seats from their vantage point, and you can imagine what it must have been like for them to make sports history.

You’ll get to sit atop the world-famous Green Monster which is an awe-inspiring experience in itself. If you go on a game day, there’s a chance you’ll see the players warming up with batting practice and with a little luck, score a souvenir ball that’s hit your way.

You’ll also get to sit in the oldest seats in the park and see the lone red seat in the bleachers where the infamous home run ball hit by Ted Williams in 1946 was stopped by an unsuspecting spectator’s head.

Experienced tour guides give a comprehensive history of Fenway Park along with some baseball history and trivia. The ballpark is also home to the Fenway Park Living Museum which houses thousands of fascinating baseball artifacts. Even if you’re not officially a member of Red Sox nation, you’ll enjoy learning tidbits about the sport and the ballpark’s history.

Fenway Park is the nation’s oldest ballpark having opened in 1912 just days after the sinking of the Titanic. That’s a lot of history that it has seen, with original architectural details that have been preserved to this day.

The park has more than earned its rightful place alongside the city’s other famous landmarks such as the Public Garden, Museum of Fine Arts, Bunker Hill Monument, and Faneuil Hall. You’ll get to learn a bit about its historical significance and how it was constructed by taking a public tour.

For kids who are old enough to appreciate it, a Fenway Park tour makes for a fun family day. One of the tour options includes a visit with Red Sox mascot Wally the Green Monster. There’s also a birthday package tour that offers the opportunity to try on players’ uniforms and try batting practice in an official MLB cage.

Afterward, you’ll have the chance to buy Red Sox and Fenway Park memorabilia and can grab a bite to eat at any of the restaurants or bars in the area. The Bleacher Bar at 82A Landsdowne Street is a fan favorite, as it’s situated right underneath—you guessed it—the bleachers.

Fenway Park tours operate daily year-round, even during rain and snow (unless there is a major weather event such as a blizzard or hurricane.)

The hours of operation vary slightly depending on whether it’s baseball season (spring/summer/fall) or winter:

Spring/Summer/Fall Hours  (April 1 – Oct. 31): 9 AM to 5 PM daily

Winter Hours:  (Nov. 1 – March 31): 10 AM to 5 PM daily

Public tours depart at the top of each hour. On non-game days, the last tour of the day departs at 5 PM.

On game days, the last tour departs  three hours before  the game start time.

The burning question on anyone’s mind who hasn’t taken a Fenway Park tour yet is if you’ll actually get to walk around the field. Unfortunately, we do have a bit of bad news to deliver.

The tour section of the Red Sox website states that all areas of the ballpark are subject to availability . That means that chances are, you may not get to actually walk onto the field during a tour.

Occasionally it does happen but it’s usually a rare occurrence that depends on several factors including the condition of the field and the size of the tour group. You also have a greater chance of being allowed access to the field during the morning tours on home game days .

Don’t let this revelation bum you out or discourage you from taking a Fenway Park tour, however. There is still so much to see and enjoy during your visit that makes up for not being allowed to walk on the field.

Available Fenway Park Tours

Fenway Park tours are definitely not one size fits it—there are several available public tours to fit different preferences. Here’s a detailed description of each that was listed at the time this article was published, which brings up an important point: new tours may be added and existing ones changed or dropped at any time.

This is an hour-long tour that most people spring for. You get to enjoy a 60-minute guided tour chockful of historical nuggets about the ballpark, notable players, and Red Sox history.

This tour also includes a visit to the media booth which offers a spectacular view of the park. You’ll also get to see the visiting team’s locker room, Pesky’s Pole, the rooftop garden, the press box, and get to take in the amazing view from the Green Monster seats. If you go on the day of a scheduled concert, you may get to see the artist or band warming up on the stage.

Prices: $25 for Adults | $17 for Children (3-12) | $17 for Military

You’ll also visit the Royal Rooters Club—home of the Nation’s Archives, where historic baseball and Boston Red Sox memorabilia and photographs are on display.

Prices: $15 for Adults | $15 for Children (3-12)

A fan favorite, the hour-long pregame tour gives attendees early access to the ballpark before the general public and takes place three hours before game time. You’ll get to see Fenway’s oldest seats (the Grandstand section, which dates back to 1934), walk on the warming track, and sit atop the Green Monster.

Fans love this tour for the potential chance to watch players practicing or scoring an autograph or fly ball.

Prices: $40 for Adults | $40 for Children (3-12)

This is a great tour for families and younger baseball fans. It includes a visit with Wally the Green Monster, a stop on the warming track, and a historical narrative of Fenway Park history.

This tour is only available on afternoon game days before 3 PM.

How would you like to try on the uniforms of past and present Red Sox legends, or hit some balls in a batting cage? The Ultimate Birthday Package tour includes all that, plus a souvenir for everyone at the party. This tour is available only on non-game days for groups of at least 12 people.

Prices: $50 for Adults | $30 for Children (3-12)

This is a custom private tour experience for those willing to pay for it. It’s designed for groups up to 20 people and you get to choose from a list of locations in Fenway Park you would like to see up close. You also get the undivided attention of a Fenway Park tour guide.

Contact Fenway Park for Pricing

Lastly, you can even tour Fenway Park from the comfort of your home using your computer or smartphone. We’re talking, of course, about a virtual drone tour. This particular tour lasts 40 minutes and is narrated by a Red Sox announcer. An in-person tour is certainly more fun, but this option is available for groups of ten or more people, making it suitable for corporate events, families, and more.

• $15 per person

Where to Buy Fenway Park Tour Tickets

The best place to buy Fenway Park tour tickets is on the Red Sox website . You can book a tour up to 30 days in advance and choose the time slot that works best for you. You can also buy tickets through a third-party tour site such as GetYourGuide , GoCity , or Viator . Sometimes the tour is included as part of a package to see other Boston attractions. Definitely shop around and weigh your options for the best deal and tour that fits your needs.

The only discounts currently available for Fenway Park tours are discounts for active and retired military members for the public tour.

We recommend signing up for the official Boston Red Sox newsletter, as sometimes there are giveaways or promotions offered for tour tickets.

Fenway Park tours are fully accessible for individuals who use wheelchairs. Elevators are available to transport tour attendees in wheelchairs to various levels of the ballpark.

Insider Tips: What to Know Before You Tour Fenway Park

Finally, we have some tips to help you prepare for your Fenway Park tour and get the most enjoyment from the experience. The last thing anyone wants is to miss the tour because they don’t know the best way to get into the city or discover the bag they brought with them is too big. These are important tips to know, so don’t skip over them!

This tip can never be stressed enough: leave your vehicle at home and take public transportation to Fenway Park . While there are several lots near the ballpark, the Boston area is notorious for its heavy traffic and delays—making it an absolute nightmare to drive to Fenway Park on game days. Not to mention,  parking near the stadium can be expensive .

Take the MBTA (“the T”) to the Kenmore stop on the B, C, or D Green line , and Fenway Park is a short five-minute walk away. When you exit the station, you’ll see signs guiding you to the ballpark. Take a left on Commonwealth Ave., another left onto Brookline Ave., then go over the bridge.

You’ll save yourself time, money, and stress by taking the T and will also get to meet some fellow Red Sox fans by taking public transportation. It’s hard to beat that!

If you must drive to the stadium, the Red Sox site has a page dedicated to the best lots to park at depending upon the direction you’re entering the city from along with their rates and an option to reserve a spot online.

According to one of the experienced tour guides, you walk the equivalent of 1.25 miles during the one-hour tours. That’s a lot of steps, so comfortable, supportive footwear is a must.

Be prepared for periods of standing and climbing stairs as well. Many tour attendees say it can be a workout. Elevators are available to get to various levels of the ballpark if you need a reprieve.

As an aside, don’t be surprised if your tour group is on the larger side (we told you these tours were popular!) The tour guides use a microphone to ensure everyone can hear them clearly. Sometimes larger groups are split up into two separate ones, each with their own tour guide.

Fenway Park does not provide water or other refreshments for tour groups, so be sure to bring water (in a sealed bottle 16 ounces or smaller) to stay hydrated if you’re taking the tour on a hot day. We also recommend sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen.

Fenway has a pretty strict bag policy: bags must be no larger than 12″ x 12″ x 6″ and single compartment only. The ballpark does NOT allow backpacks (or backpack-style purses), duffle bags, and bags with multiple compartments.

Exceptions are made for diaper bags and bags that carry essential medical equipment. Any bags that don’t meet the requirements can be stored with a third-party locker company on the top of the Lansdowne Garage or a nearby liquor store. Note that a fee will be charged to do so. To be on the safe side and avoid missing the beginning of a tour, we recommend taking a fanny pack or other small bag that safely meets the size restrictions.

All tour participants are also required to pass through security screening before entering the ballpark. We recommend reading the Fenway Park security page for a list of prohibited items and more about the bag policy.

Much like Red Sox games, Fenway Park tours tend to sell out. They go on sale 30 days in advance (so if you visit the website on November 1 you will only be able to purchase tickets for tours taking place through December 1.)

A tour of Fenway Park is absolutely worth it! There’s a reason why Fenway is called America’s most beloved ballpark. Its features, layout, and quirks are unlike any other major league baseball stadium in the nation.

Taking a tour during the fall or winter months is a fun way to keep the fan spirit alive after the season has ended. Even if you’ve been a long-time Boston Red Sox fan, chances are you will learn something you never knew on a tour.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

What's the Fenway Park bag policy for Boston Red Sox fans on Opening Day?

By Riley Rourke

Updated on: April 9, 2024 / 7:26 AM EDT / CBS Boston

BOSTON - Bag policies for sports stadiums are constantly changing, and other Boston venues like TD Garden recently established stricter guidelines. Here's everything you need to know about Fenway Park's bag policy ahead of Red Sox Opening Day.

What size bag is allowed?

All bags must be 12"x 12" x 6" and have one compartment. The Red Sox recommend that people use clear bags with one compartment that also follows the recommended size. The popular Lululemon belt bag falls under the required size and is allowed.

Backpacks, backpack purses, duffel bags, and other multi-compartment bags, even clear ones, are not allowed. Coolers and glass containers are also forbidden.

Exceptions are made for diaper bags and bags containing medical supplies.

If you happen to bring a bag that does not fit the requirements, Fenway Park offers lockers for a fee.

How do they search?

Fenway Park uses metal detectors to screen fans and security personnel look inside all bags. Most of the time, they ask you to move things around, or they take a quick peek inside the bag and move things themselves. 

Physical screenings are offered and are occasionally used in addition to the metal detectors. 

What's allowed?

All normal items are allowed such as wallets, keys, phones, etc. All items listed below are allowed to be brought into Fenway Park.

• One unopened 16-ounce plastic water bottle
• Umbrellas, but they can only be used during rain delays
• Small signs and banners that are not vulgar or political. They must not disrupt another fan's enjoyment or view of the game.
• Recreational photo and video cameras
• Diaper bags
• Medical equipment or supplies
• Breast milk pumps and other equipment
• Snacks and food*

*All food should fit into the bag size. Sometimes, you are able to bring in food from the concessions outside, such as the sausage carts, but it can be up to the discretion of certain security guards.

What's not allowed?

All items listed below are not allowed into Red Sox games and will be thrown out. Fenway Park does not allow fans to retrieve the item after the game has ended. 

• Bags that are larger than 12"x 12" x 6"
• Guns and ammunition. No exceptions for off-duty law enforcement and licensed carriers. 
• Knives, box cutters, pocket knives, or anything that can be considered a weapon
• Pepper spray/mace
• Marijuana. No exceptions for medical use.
• Cans, bottles, glass containers
• Hard-sided coolers
• Illegal substances
• Laser pointers or anything that could interrupt players on the field
• Noisemakers, including air horns
• Signs and banners that obstruct a fan's view, are political, obscene, or attached to the Green Monster or any part of the park.
• Costumes and costume masks
• Offensive clothing. This is determined at Red Sox management's discretion.
• Professional photo and video equipment 
• Tripods and mono-pods
• Drones flown in and around Fenway
• Fenway Park
• Major League Baseball
