Boston's Most Famous "Shell" – The Hatch Memorial Shell

Amazing location right next to the Charles River. Many events happen here throughout the year. Even though it is next to a major road of Boston, it is surprisingly quite, peace and calm when you sit in the park. It is best enjoyed in the evening I’d say, and there are many events held here throughout the year - except Winter perhaps. In the summer, there are outdoor movie screenings at the shell which is such a wholesome experience - just bring a picnic blanket, snacks and friends of course, and enjoy a movie under the stars ☺️

We drove all the way up from N.C. with the hopes of seeing the Pops concert at the Hatch, and we were turned away for having a “large” backpack, while we watched other folks with similar sized backpacks enter the park, and there were no visible signs to indicate backpacks were not allowed. This “minor” issue completely upended our plans and our trip. Incredibly disappointed and frustrated by the staff, the obvious double standards, and total lack of clear guidelines put in place by the city of Boston.
