Hotels for TD Garden Arena Tour

An arena tour like this gives visitors a rare look behind the scenes of a working sports and concert venue, walking the concourses and tunnels usually reserved for players and crew. A Thursday afternoon slot makes it an easy addition to a day already spent exploring the city, rather than the centrepiece of a trip.

Expect a guided walk through locker rooms, press areas and courtside or rinkside spaces, with staff on hand to talk through the building's history and matchday operations. It suits families, sports fans and anyone curious about what happens once the crowds go home.

Home to the Celtics and Bruins, TD Garden sits above North Station in the heart of Boston, a leading arena for basketball, ice hockey and major concerts. The surrounding area, close to the North End's celebrated restaurants and the historic Freedom Trail, is thoroughly walkable. North Station's subway and commuter rail lines are directly below. Booking a room in central Boston lets you walk to the show, enjoy the North End's dining and return to your bed within minutes once it finishes.
