The Boston Red Sox are a storied franchise that has seen the likes of baseball greats including Babe Ruth, Carl Yastrzemski, and Ted Williams don the uniform for the old town team. Families can enjoy an outing at Fenway Park, the historic home of the Red Sox that opened in 1912. Fenway is known for its left field wall, commonly referred to as the Green Monster, and manually-operated scoreboard. While catching some action, fans can enjoy ball park fare including Fenway Franks, lobster rolls, and New England clam chowder. Going to a game is not cheap, as tickets to Fenway are one of the hardest and most expensive to get in all of baseball. If getting tickets is not an option, families can enjoy a guided walking tour of Fenway. Tours are given daily and last approximately an hour.
