Iconic historic building in the middle of Boston that used to be the seat of governance for Massachusetts - it's the oldest public building in Boston and one of the oldest in the U.S., so expect a lo…Full review by dustythoughts

It's an attractive old colonial building located in the center of the downtown district. Since there are tours and the Freedom Trail is here, expect to be confronted by crowds, even on the weekend w…Full review by Thomas V

It is free to tour. The following are excerpts from their website: 1. Tours begin in the State House Annex. 2. All tours are offered free of charge. 3. Self-guided tours are not available. Staff and volunteer tour guides escort visitors through the building, explaining its history, art and architecture, and the legislative process 4. Reservations are not needed for groups with fewer than 10 people 5. Tours are offered Monday through Friday on the hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month, on the hour from noon to 3 p.m. All tours begin in the State House Annex.
I spent maybe 45 mins to an hour. But you can break off when you like or simply walk around yourself. Tour is worth it for information. No extra charge I remember.
Wow, impressed that you recognize my interest. Limited time demands picking between a tour of the state house or a tour of Fenway Park. Comments appreciated.

Gosh, these choices are difficult. Depends on your own preferences. If you are more a historian than a baseball person, then it has to be the Statehouse. If you are more a sportsman or more particularly a baseball person, then Fenway. If you are a Sox fan, then there is certainly only one answer! The statehouse tour can be done in 90 minutes, including commute time. Fenway will doubtless take longer. My guess is 2-2.5 hours for the park tour including commute time. Good luck!
Hello, I am interested in visiting and just wonder how long the tours take. I'm interested in the Old State House Tour on the hour and the Boston Massacre tour on the half hour. The building looks beautiful. Judy K

We only did the state house intending to just around ourselves but a guy came up to us to tell us he was starting the last free talk of the history of the state house in 15 minutes and to join him in the board room upstairs at 4pm? We did and it finished at 4.45pm and well worth doing we felt. Hope that helps you.
