Make a Reservation

Matt Teuten

 

Groups can make a reservation for an Education Program, a Ranger-Guided talk or tour, or a visit to Boston National Historical Park.

Visitation at Boston National Historical Park can be quite high, especially during the spring, summer, and fall months. We encourage groups of 10 or more people to contact the park or partner sites about group visits.

 

Group Visits to National Parks of Boston Sites

Bunker Hill Monument

For safety reasons, visitation of the Monument is presently limited to 20 people at a time. We regret that we currently are unable to reserve or accommodate group climbs. At this time, climbing is limited to a first come, first serve basis.

Bunker Hill Museum

Reservations are not required for the Bunker Hill Museum. The museum has free admission. If you are interested in arranging a ranger presentation or booking a group visit to the Bunker Hill Museum, please e-mail us. The Museum is located across the street from the Monument at 43 Monument Square. For currents hours of the Museum, please check our Operating Hours & Seasons page.

We invite you to explore additional park-created resources about the site, including: an audio tour, live 360-degree views from the top of the monument, videos about the Battle and Monument, and other digital offerings. These resources can be found on our website.

USS Cassin Young

The USS Cassin Young is open May through October. Reservations are not required for general admission and the ship operates with a self-guided tour around the main deck.

Faneuil Hall

We do not take group reservations for the Great Hall of Faneuil Hall. The City of Boston owns Faneuil Hall. The 1st Floor Marketplace is open daily. The 2nd floor Great Hall is open on a modified schedule and is sometimes closed for private or city events. When the Great Hall is open to the public, park rangers are in the Hall daily interpreting the site's history.
