BOSTON — ‘View Boston’ an experience atop the Prudential Tower has finally opened its doors.
The 59,000 square-foot experience provides locals and tourists a unique opportunity to enjoy 360-degree panoramic views of the city, fancy food at the Stratus cocktail bar, and The Beacon bistro, interactive state-of-the-art immersive exhibits that showcase the city’s neighborhood’s beautiful 360-degree views.
“We are thrilled to share this remarkable experience with everyone who wants to explore the beauty and diversity of our incredible city,” said Bryan Koop, Executive Vice President for BXP’s Boston Region. “We believe that View Boston will become a must-visit attraction for tourists and a favorite spot for locals to gather and celebrate special moments.”
Guests begin their journey on the 52nd floor of the building which offers stunning panoramic views of the city.
Visitors will be able to get an even better look at the spectacular skyline when they step up on an elevated viewing platform called “The Lookout.” Guests will have the ability to zoom in on neighborhoods across the city and learn more about the landmarks and attractions that make them special.
The 51st floor of the observatory is called “The Cloud Terrace.”
The Cloud Terrace features a 360-degree open-air roof deck and is filled with plenty of photo opportunities. This floor offers a selfie station known as “The Big Picture,” which gives people the opportunity to take a photo with Boston as the backdrop. The photo is taken from the perspective of a camera mounted on the nearby 200 Clarendon Street skyscraper.
Before heading down to the last floor, visitors can dine or get a drink at “Stratus,” an indoor-outdoor cocktail lounge. Stratus features seasonal craft cocktails as well as sharable plates inspired by locals.
The final and 50th floor of the observatory is known as “The City.”
While visiting The City, people are able to interact with exhibits, including “Boston 365,” a three-dimensional model of the city; “Explore Boston,” an interactive neighborhood discovery tool that lets guests find things to do in Boston based on their interests; an immersive theater with a 270-degree screen that plays a short film showing the city, and “The Finale,” where guests will receive a personalized itinerary for the remainder of their visit.
