Officially this is the end of the Freedom Trail, but for us it was the start. The distance from its start at Boston Common park to here is significant and requires much walking and because of the location across the bridge (where's nothing to see if walking) we parked our car here and visited this place first and in walking distance the USS Constitution. After that we moved our car downtown and visited all the others. This is the site of the famous Revolutionary War battle, one of the bloodiest. The small museum adjacent to the obelisk was closed, but there's another one across the street giving more info. The residential area around the monument is beautiful and pleasant to walk downhill towards the USS Constitution.

Currently the Monument is under renovation and scaffolding is surrounding the exterior so be aware that your not going get great pictures of the outside. There are a few displays and statues on the ground floor and friendly knowledgeable personnel/security to give any assistance including access to the approx.. 250+ steps that take you to the top. I didn't do it but I did go sit in the chairs provided on the lawn and soaked up a little sun while waiting for my travel partners.

Under renovations at my visit. Did a quick outside venture. Parking can be a pain but overall, easy experience.

Bunker hill monument is a beautiful place.the weather was perfect. The obelisk was closed so you could not go in but a park ranger was there and he said they hope to have it reopened in July 2022 so people can climb to two hundred and twenty one feet to the top.there is a statue of the colonist commander general Prescott as well as plenty of markers and signage explaining location of various parts and orientation on the fortifications and how the battle unfolded. Also Patrick the park ranger on duty was very helpful and knowledgeable about the battle.this is a great place to learn a part of American history.Also from the top of the hill is a great view of downtown Boston.

It's an awesome monument to the birth of our nation. It's a must see. Without Patriots like the ones who Battle of the British there, we would not have a country today.

The Bunker Hill Monument stands as an iconic symbol of American history and valor. Its towering presence commemorates the Battle of Bunker Hill, a pivotal moment in the American Revolutionary War. The monument's granite structure exudes a sense of strength and endurance, mirroring the courage displayed by colonial forces during the battle. As one ascends the spiral staircase within, the informative exhibits along the way offer a vivid glimpse into the historical context and significance of the battle. The panoramic view from the summit is breathtaking, providing a unique perspective of Boston's skyline and its evolution over time. However, limited visitor amenities and accessibility might pose challenges for some. Despite this, the monument's historical importance and the chance to connect with the spirit of America's fight for independence make it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone seeking to delve into the nation's past.

This monument has a lot of history and 294 steps to reach the top and it can be exhausting for a lot of people lol. But the artifacts, and sky views were amazing!

294 steps to the top! It was a great monument and worth the climb. The staff were very informative. I would recommend you having moderate fitness to climb the monument. It is a tough walk up. It’s completely free.

This was one of, if not our favorite stops on freedom trail. It's at the very end so I think a lot of the tours skip it because it's a little further from all the other stops. Ride a blue bike to it and hike up to the top. It's a beautiful view and it will help you get your steps in for the day. May get your quads burning up a little bit

Bunker Hill was cool, but it was a hike to get there. I was disappointed that the building was closed, so we only got to see the outside, but it's very handicapped accessible. Lots of history and beautiful landscape. Certainly worth a visit.

Beautiful monument, and great signage to get there. No tickets needed, as it’s a large site with a lot of open space to learn about the monument. So informative, and would definitely recommend if you’re looking for nice historical sites in Boston.

WOW 😳! I didn't even go inside and I was blown away! It just towers over you! Closed 🔐 due to COVID-19. Nice little park 🏞️ surrounds the monument. People were playing catch. Connects to Freedom Trail. If you have a chance, take a look and see 🙈 what you think 🤔. Hope it reopens soon. You can even see it from the USS Constitution.

I enjoyed the 200+ steps to the top of the monument even though the view from the top was less than spectacular with the small windows and crowded room. For those of you not sure whether you are up for the climb, there is a railing but the steps are fairly narrow, there is traffic coming both ways and there are no benches. You need to get a time slotted ticket from the Bunker Hill Museum (43 Monument Sq) in order to be allowed to climb.

The monument has the best amazing view spot in the neighborhood! Luck enough to visit during a sunny afternoon! Highly recommend to walk through the freedom trail by starting at bunker hill!

The monument was covered in scaffolding which distracted from its appearance but I understand the desire to repair before the coming anniversary. The window at the top were very dirty. Hopefully they will replaced during the repair of the monument was

The buildings may be closed for Covid but this monument is worth seeing up close. The history comes alive here and the historic stores/ restaurants make it a fun family trip. A really good starting point for the Freedom Trail, the beautiful neighborhood will leave you wanting more of historic Boston.

It's amazing place i hope can visit it again

We walked from Sullivan Station to top of Bunker Hill until the church of San Francis to continue until the monument. It is Fall in Massachusetts and it is cool to see the foliage embracing the plaza and monument. A ranger provided a brief explanation as we could not go to the top. This point is the end of Freedom Trail. We used this trail to go back to downtown Boston.

One the stops on the freedom trail and well worth the experience, the monument is breathtaking, the park is so beautiful, perfect for a family trip, to plan a picnic and perfect to include the pets for a run in the park! Definitely a visit for bucket list!

Always worth the walk to the Monument. If you can catch a guide giving a talk about the battle stay and listen as it's always packed full of history.

It was a wonderful experience, i walked the entire freedom trail and it led me here at the end. It was nice after a long walk to relax on the lawn of bunker hill and just enjoy the nice cool air after a long walk through the city, and after you visit the monument you can cross the street to see the museum.

Despite being closed I was still able to go on the grounds. Wonderful park. No bathrooms there but across the street at a free museum.

As a massive history nerd, it was awesome being on bunker hill. I know that the battle actually took place on Breeds hill, but it is still amazing to visit the massive obelisk that towers over the houses around it.

I am fascinated by the history of the birth of America and for anyone like-minded The Bunker Hill Monument is a must see. It's located in Charlestown which is a good hike from Boston and ALL UPHILL but worth it. The monument is enormous and really amazing. It's located in a spacious park with other smaller monuments and statues. There's plenty of signage and plaques to give you all of the history of the battle that took place here. One of my favorite stops on The Freedom Trail.

Great monument that’s well worth the climb. It’s a short walk from the USS Constitution to the monument. The monument is in a pretty park and looks beautiful. The climb is tough but is worth it with great views at the top. It’s a little out of the way from downtown and the rest of Boston but definitely something you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend visiting.

This monument has 294 stairs. The top is amazing. The entire experience is free of charge and managed by the U.S. Park service. Everyone was very nice. The process requires a person to comfortably walk upstairs with little opportunity or options for breaks. Enjoy!

Great historic site on the Boston neighborhood of Charlestown. The monument itself has almost 300 steps and is open to public during specific hours to climb up and down. It has had nice area with the lawn and trees around it. And it is surrounded by a beautiful vintage houses. Definitely a nice spot for a walk and/or snapping a few pictures.

An amazing historical place. Visited it couple of times since I have been living in Boston. The surrounding hilly area is great for hanging out and garden surrounding monument is well maintained. The staff is very nice and willing to answer any and all questions tourist might have. The climb is certainly tiring, but it's all worth when you reach the top. You can live the history by just visiting the place and reading the background and significance of this place and battle that took place here. This place is just one of the many awesome tourist attractions around the Boston area.

The monument itself is a large obelisk (super handy to orient yourself if you're a bit lost!) built as a memorial to the Battle of Bunker Hill. For visitors today, it also involves a 294 step climb to the top for some great views over the city! You start off in the Lodge section which is where the entrance is. There are some brief explanations about different characters and the battle as well as a beautiful statue of General Joseph Warren (he died during the battle). There is seating (closest restroom is in the museum) and they did have a fan on as well when I visited. The queue system can look a bit chaotic with people milling around. Basically there's 20 at a time allowed in the monument so it's a one-in and one- out system. Personally, I ended up asking who was at the back and hoped they were right! If you're on a tight schedule during school holidays, be aware it can move quite slowly with family groups. With the heat and the lines, there may be for instance 10 people in front of you but I found today there tended to be another 10 family members in other areas who are heading up as well (which is absolutely understandable with older relatives and young children). The steps are quite narrow and people are coming down at the same time so you do have to be aware of your surroundings. It is an achievement, though to climb and I like the way the steps do a countdown on the way up!

Inviting place to learn about our nations history

The building itself and the view from the top are currently obscured by scaffolding, but I'm glad they're working to maintain it. It's free to enter the monument and you can climb all the way to the top inside (294 steps if I remember correctly), for amazing views in every direction of Boston. Steps are classic narrow spiral staircase with an outer handrail, like you'd find in a British castle tower. There's a bench at the top, and a small museum in the building at the base. Staff are friendly and informative in the base building.

Enjoyed see it, but wanted to climb to the top. Unable to as it was closed

Great spot to learn about one of the important early battles in the revolutionary war. You can climb to the top of the obelisk (294 stairs, no elevator) for some pretty good views around Boston. There are signs around the monument that link to an audio tour that shares the stories of three men that participated in the battle, there are 7 segments, probably 20-25 minutes in total. The small museum building next to the monument is currently closed for restoration, but the larger museum across the street is open. Both the obelisk and museum are free to visit.

Bunker Hill was toward the end of the Freedom Trail for us. It was also our last day in Boston and we were exhausted by the time we reached the monument. Maybe next time, we will start there and do the stairs to the top. "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes" was stated here.

Long way to the top if you want to rock and roll... Smelled like pee BAD half way up. Seems most tourist attractions do out east. Free 2 hour parking around the park for anyone or you need residence pass to stay longer.

ALSO REVIEWING THE MUSEUM: The monument and museum are well worth a visit. The museum gives in depth information on the area throughout the revolutionary period and beyond and also gives a good account of the battle of Bunker Hill (which was actually on Breed's Hill, I found this rather confusing...) The monument itself is very impressive as well and you can climb to the top if you're not as claustrophobic as I am! What's more both are free of charge.

Awesome to be on this hill...where the battle took place.

It's located in a gorgeous area in Boston. But a whole lot immediately around it as far as restaurants but the neighborhood is top notch. Great history there and a few stories around the area but would recommend buying a guidebook at one of the parks like Boston Common to get full details. Such a rich historical area is not to be missed.

Great place to stop to get away from the horrors of the Commonwealth.

One of our last stops on the Freedom Trail. Because it was one of the last we didn’t get to go inside. The Obelisk is very impressive!

A truly impressive monument, inside a small park. It is flanked by a museum, which I could not visit as it was closed at the time of my arrival. There are exterior panels that tell the story of the construction of the monument. Access to the park, which leads to the foot of the monument is free.

I don't know why our country likes its phalli so much. Still, apparently there is another miniature Washington monument (or obelisk if youwill). So it was cool to see that. It was snowing while I was here and cold. So I didn't stick around for long.

Wonderful monument to the brave men who fought and died for this country to be free from English rule.

Monument dedicated to the war of the north and south, the colonists who fell in battle. “They will beat their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, Nor will they learn war anymore”. Isaiah 2:4

Nice relaxing place with grassy hills to take a nap after a good day's hike.

I was there with an old fried visualizing this high ground from the revolutionary war. An amazing spot, you can smell the history.

Lots of history to visit in Boston, this is a great stop. Lots of information on the plaques and signs as you walk around. We walked from here to the USS Constitution (about 10 min).

It’s a nice monument especially because you can climb to the top and get some nice city views and it’s the ending of the freedom trail.Also you can have your kids do the junior ranger activities and badge. Charlestown is a beautiful neighborhood to stroll around.

Monument on the freedom trail. Limited access due to covid-19

Yesterday, we checked out the Bunker Hill Monument in Boston Massachusetts. The Bunker Hill Monument is a monument erected at the site of the Battle of Bunker Hill in Boston, Massachusetts, which was among the first major battles between British and Patriot forces in the American Revolutionary War. The 221-foot (67 m) granite obelisk was erected between 1825 and 1843 in Charlestown, Massachusetts, with granite from nearby Quincy conveyed to the site via the purpose-built Granite Railway, followed by a trip by barge. There are 294 steps to the top.

Family really enjoyed this quick stop. Completely free and amazing views of Boston if you are willing to climb the steps in the monument to the top. It doesn’t sound like a lot but narrow stairway and 293 steps to the top. Definitely don’t go up if you are claustrophobic or consider yourself out of shape bc it’s a climb. Very cool audio tour is available with your phone outside and historical facts and items are inside. The best part is everything is completely free.

We had to drive around the monument at least 5x before we saw that we could park on a few streets over next to someone's house. You can go up the 294 steps in the monument for free. There is a visitor center and gift shop across the street and we made a paper replica of the monument. My only complaint was I had to use the restroom and it was located downstairs, but it was a labyrinthine maze. Otherwise, we really enjoyed it and it was worth the trip.

You can climb all the way to its top and then walk down in the same route. 294 stairs. I don’t think it’s laborious or exhausting, but maybe it’s because I workout on a daily basis. So, if you never workout, do consider the decision, climbing 294 stairs is not really easy anyway. In terms of the view, it is good, but do not think the top as an observation deck, since there are only four small windows; and they seem have not been cleaned for a while.

The Bunker Hill Monument located in Boston is an impressive landmark and an important site in U.S. history. Standing 221 feet tall, the monument marks the site of the first major battle of the American Revolution. Visitors can climb to the top of the monument to take in stunning views of the city and harbor. The visitor center onsite also provides fascinating information about the battle and the people who fought in it. Overall, the Bunker Hill Monument is a must-see destination for anyone interested in American history, monuments, or stunning views.

A unique monument at the end of the Freedom Trail dedicated to the founding of the United States. Climbing to the top with 294 steps is a must-do activities although the hours are quite limited and only available in the afternoon. Try arriving early as well as there can sometimes be a line as the number of visitors allowed inside is limited to 20. Stunning views of the Boston skyline from all 4 directions available at the top although the windows are a bit scratched up and should be replaced for the best experience.

Great place to visit. But make sure to prepare . There about 300 steps to get to the top.

Good exercise! Really tight space though so have to squeeze through sometimes when other people are resting or going the opposite way. The views are really nice, but it gets crowded up there too quickly, so it’s hard to enjoy them for long.

Wow, lots of stairs. Fantastic view at the top. Glad we made it a stop on our trip.

Historical spot in Boston for anyone desiring to learn more about the roots of Boston. A must go, not only for the history but also for the view. Quiet and peaceful is a bonus!

Very nice neighborhood and historical park. We went at night and it’s well lit.

Simple, yet profound

Even though it was closed still great to see American history.

Very enlightening an educational. To all those take care of the historical site Thank you

Great Park. Has a museum and you can climb yo the top. When it is open. Currently closed for covid.

Always beautiful and in the cutest neighborhood.

Very clean place and wonderful view of downtown Boston, Historic obelisks, and I can recommend whole family can visit, security place

Get your steps and stairs in with a great view.

This monument was completed in 1842 to commemorate the bloodiest battle of the American Revolutionary War.

I had a nice historic trip in Boston. This place is a must go if you want to learn more about the history of the United States and visit a historical monument.

Very neat place with nice grounds.

Great part of history, worth the visit and across the street is the museum. Surrounding area feels like old Boston and North end

Great place

Nice place! Nice pictures!

I can imagine the British trying to storm the hill

Beautiful monument. Just hope protestors don't take it down .

(Translated by Google) Spectacular place that leads part of the Boston trail in Massachusetts (Original) Espectacular lugar que lleva parte del Boston trail en Massachusetts

It is a small park with a big egyptian obelisk in the middle overlooking a decent gorgeous view of Downtown Boston and that bridge that I always see on Telemundo weather. Parking is very limited so get there early. The stairs climb is very easy. It is a famous place within the Boston area and it is family friendly. I saw two ladies chatting at the bench while there were kids running around the snow with their parents on the other side. All are welcome!

It was another really cool monument. I didn’t know much about bunker hill but I do now. Highly recommended. The best thing about it is I saw three golden retrievers.

The veiw on the hill is gorgeous. The menu and little info points make it easy to quickly get info and move on your historic boston tour, however of you want to enjoy the fresh air and green space, it was calm, there are a couple.benches and as we found out a great spot for aedding pictures.

Was a great place to walk around. Great for a 10-15 minute activity.

As expected, there is a big hill, so be prepared to climb some stairs! It is worth it though, as there is a great view at the top. The park around it isn't the most scenic, but you could sit on the grass for a rest if you wanted to. I would recommend going to the museum before or after going to the monument for a more fulfilling experience.

Today we decided to go into Boston to explore. The monument is quite impressive close up. Despite a sign saying the museum was open, it was in fact closed which was too bad. It would have been nice to see some more history on the site.

Nice City view

Historic battle

Very cool- even more cool to learn that this monument was built on a different hill for where battle started

Very informative. Take time to listen to the guide. The monument is amazing!

Free parking on the weekends. One of the places where the freedom trail starts. It is a very small park.

Had a fantastic time, the monument and surrounding area are quite beautiful. A great way to remember our past and a great little sight to see when you are in the Boston area. I suggest swinging by the harbor as well!

WORTH THE WALK 1000%. I walked the Freedom Trail, starting at Fanuel Hall, and decided to make the journey to Bunker Hill then to the USS Constitution - finishing in the North End at Modern Pastry. The Bunker Hill Monument was closed, so I couldn't go inside. A bummer but still worth it due to the historic significance of the place. Worth it rain or shine.

I liked the monument. Wish people had not put graffiti on some so special.

Very pretty and great photo options - one the trail start/end points is here! Tip, if you need to use the restroom, there are restrooms in the museum across the street.
