It's an attractive old colonial building located in the center of the downtown district. Since there are tours and the Freedom Trail is here, expect to be confronted by crowds, even on the weekend w… Full review by Thomas V

Another stop along the way during our walk of the Freedom Trail in Boston. The weather had cleared up for a beautiful afternoon and we took photos of the Samuel Adams statue and the Bill Russell sta… Full review by Stephen S

Old State House seems to be a metro station now. Great looking building, though somewhat marred by the constant roar of traffic on the outside. The area need pedestrianizing. Interesting building t… Full review by PBPG

It is free to tour. The following are excerpts from their website: 1. Tours begin in the State House Annex. 2. All tours are offered free of charge. 3. Self-guided tours are not available. Staff and volunteer tour guides escort visitors through the building, explaining its history, art and architecture, and the legislative process 4. Reservations are not needed for groups with fewer than 10 people 5. Tours are offered Monday through Friday on the hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month, on the hour from noon to 3 p.m. All tours begin in the State House Annex.
I spent maybe 45 mins to an hour. But you can break off when you like or simply walk around yourself. Tour is worth it for information. No extra charge I remember.
Wow, impressed that you recognize my interest. Limited time demands picking between a tour of the state house or a tour of Fenway Park. Comments appreciated.

Totally different themes, obviously. You can get in and out of the Old State House pretty quickly, and once in there's not a lot to see do, so it doesn't consume a huge chunk of time but its well worth doing. Also, it's right off of the Freedom Trail, and close to the center of everything. Fenway does have limited hours, and isn't within close proximity to bulk of Boston sites. Worth considering.
Hello, I am interested in visiting and just wonder how long the tours take. I'm interested in the Old State House Tour on the hour and the Boston Massacre tour on the half hour. The building looks beautiful. Judy K

We only did the state house intending to just around ourselves but a guy came up to us to tell us he was starting the last free talk of the history of the state house in 15 minutes and to join him in the board room upstairs at 4pm? We did and it finished at 4.45pm and well worth doing we felt. Hope that helps you.
