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.

Historic battle

Its 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.

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.

Nice relaxing place with grassy hills to take a nap after a good days hike.

Great piece of American history. The museum is very educational.

Cool area and monument, worth checking out

Great exhibits with lots of information. A must see.

Great history. And you can stamp your NP passport.

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 Breeds Hill, I found this rather confusing...) The monument itself is very impressive as well and you can climb to the top if youre not as claustrophobic as I am! Whats more both are free of charge.

Fun to walk up to from the Charlestown landing

Nice City view

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. Dont 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.

If you make it to the top the view is amazing. Its about .5 miles up and down!

Remember that climb to the top it took awhile but the view was worth it!!

Great historical value

Nice monument and surrounding area.

Geocache up here!

Its Bunker Hill - what can I say?

Was closed due to shutdown

Very cool
