Reviews
"Great park. Ranger Thomas led a wonderful program, he is 100000% the best ranger ever and a great storyteller!! Limited amenities, so be prepared before you go (bring a water bottle)"
"Ferry ride to Spectacle Park was great. We took a lovely walk around the island, saw sea glass on the beach, and a fantastic jazz band by the dock. Highly recommend."
"Very cool place to hand out with the family. They have a small concession stand with hotdogs and drinks, they have public restrooms, changing rooms, water fountains, and tables to get out from the heat. And of course amazing views of the city and harbor."
"This is a great little Excursion on a quick Ferry if you have nothing better to do in Boston. There's a Rocky beach there so bring a bathing suit. Water shoes would have been a great addition because the stones hurt your feet. It was nice that they supplied free sunscreen for us. There's a few exhibits in the visitor center and some history that comes along with the visit. The visitor center has air conditioning which is also a nice treat. The hiking trails are easy but the views are pretty great of the harbor and the City."
