Fenway Park

Home of 'The Green Monster', the 37-ft-high wall that looms above left field

Noteworthy for: Opened in 1912, it's the oldest baseball park still in use in Major League Baseball.
Home to the Boston Red Sox baseball team, Fenway Park entices with its colorful history, even for non-baseball fans. Attending a game, especially one against their hated rivals the New York Yankees, is one surefire way of being one with Bostonians, whose passionate loyalty to their team produces drama, joy, and enough salty language to teach the ways of the world to children within earshot.

Cheer and hiss along with the throngs of fans that pack the bleachers. Guzzle beer and scarf down artery-choking hot dogs. You may even come to believe, in the midst of all the excitement, that you've been a die hard Red Sox fan from birth and that only this team can mend and break your heart in just a few innings.
If you can't get tickets to a game, an official tour can bring you closer to the magic, including batting practice on game days.
