Went there this summer with my kids for a cinema session. It was a beautiful evening and that golden gown was everywhere. There were some folks with chairs in the lawn but it as it wasn't packed we could see from the floor level. Problem was finding a spot away from pet poo. It's simply everywhere and we had to cover our eyes when laying down our towel. The projection surface was great, audio as well and the DJ kept everyone entertained until the movie was about to start. Will definitely return for more.

What a wonderful, clean, and beautiful venue. My husband and I visited for the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, and we loved it; you could hear everything even on the far side of the Lagoon, I will admit that some of the Concessions are pricey but you are in the city and one must expect city prices. and for a free venue who can complain, if it is that much of an inconvenience bring a picnic. Also the have some great historic memorials throughout the small park and even an extremely avante guard play ground for the kids. I would warn though that there are signs warning not to feed the animals, such as birds and the like, adhere to the rules the geese are vicious creatures and unafraid of humans ( one stole my Breakfast sandwich clean out of my hands all while I was stareing him down, I hope he enjoyed his cousin the Turkey.

Great place for concerts. The grass is great to sit on, and they often show movies here in the summer. Nice for bringing family or friends during events.

Stopped in Boston on the 4th of July, on our way back into the US from Portugal. Perfect opportunity to join the excitement of the Boston Pops 4th of July festivities and the fireworks over the river. We were not within view of the shell, but sound was distributed well throughout the banks of the rivers to listen to the concert. Trees can make it difficult to see fireworks from the south side of park area, but there was still an amazing show to be seen. We were not disappointed!

The grass in front of the Hatch is immaculate. Great area to people watch in warmer weather. Public restrooms are around behind the shell. Could use more shade on the grass area.

Perfect venue for any outdoor music event. Of course, the Boston Symphony on July 4th is a must.

It was under maintenance when I visited... Nice architecture...

Great view anywhere in the oval. Great sound system to hear everything. Nothing like seeing the Pops at the Hatch Shell

A nice place to walk around and an awesome place to watch the world renowned Boston Pops 4th of July concert & fireworks spectacular!

Wonderful outdoor theater, for now it does not work because they are renovating it. For the next time I come I hope to see him at the top of the sprinkler

We went to see the Boston Pops on the Esplanaude. Great show

I have been here only during the summer. I think this is a great initiative at creating community spaces for recreation. The movie screenings especially are very dear to me. It's a regular start of the weekend activity for me. I am here most Fridays after work. They have a whole list of activities going on in the summer and it's all a lot of fun. The Shakespeare society's plays are also very nicely interpreted.

A wonderful place to see a performance on the Charles Riverfront in Boston. I highly recommend seeing one of the free Landmark Orchestra free performances in the summer but this is also a great place for any performance.

Beautiful location for an outdoor movie! get their late to avoid the obnoxious pre-movie trivia, I promise, you'll still have space to set up your chairs and movie snacks.

Great location for concerts. You should sit on the river side to decrease road noise.
