Take public transportation. Parking is horrifically expensive!! Get there early so you can walk around the ballpark once you have your ticket scanned. It’s a crazy old place, but fun to see from different vantage points! Enjoy!!
This^ I had to learn the hard way that parking CAN BE more expensive than the tickets themselves. Take public transportation, park FAR from Fenway, otherwise be willing to shell out an arm and a leg to park somewhere close.
you hear a lot of bad things about the T, but there is just something so special about it, especially as a tourist who is in no rush. Taking the green line to KENMORE (not fenway lol) makes the day even more special.
If possible, book the tour ahead of it. It’s really cool and if you book the one right before you might even see some batting practice (at least you used to)
Cherish that first view as you walk up the stairs and see the green of the field and the wall in person for the first time. That is a moment that will honestly live with you forever.
Park along the C line and walk or train to the park. Kenmore stop on the C, Fenway if you're taking the D line. Eat outside Fenway, don't worry about the food in the park. Best food in the park is peanuts and beer. Take a walk around the concourse at some point during the game.
Where ever your seats are, before you go to them, take a walk up the stairs to the concourse along the 1st base line to get that beautiful view of the field and the monster.
Not sure if it will be open or if it’s your thing, but there is a bar beneath the bleachers where you can watch warmups and have something to eat. Called the Bleacher Bar (duh).
A night game in April is one of the coldest experiences in boston. The chairs are freezing, the wind in the ballpark is awful. Just be ready. I am used to cold weather and have to wear 2-3 jackets and even then its still brutally cold
Be prepared for a variety of weather and check the week before.
They have tours of Fenway Park, on game days the last tour departs THREE hours before game time.
If you sign up for Red Sox Nation you can get in early and watch batting practice.
April in Boston is likely to be chilly. Dress warm.
Came here to say that.

Go to Cask ‘N Flagon pregame down the street.
Cask is fantastic
Bleacher bar is a great spot for a beer beforehand too because of the field view (not sure if the food is good though)
Or right next door?
Don't listen to the bot. The neighborhood has way better eats but Cask ain't terrible.
I love Cask N. I’m no bot fool.
It's not down the street bubs.

Have fun. Go Sox

Be short. Or, bring some of your favored pain reliever. Our ancestors were shorter people and Fenway was built by ancestors, for ancestors.
Man I like the long view here Mr Glasscock. 😘🤣
Take public transit
Get there early, walk around the concourses, you can do a full loop of the stadium though it is a bit of maze at times
The Fenway Franks are extremely mediocre, especially when they come from the hawkers, and you should still do it
Skip all the tourist bars around Fenway (Cask n Flagon, Game On etc.)
Get there early so you have time to walk around the area!
A trip to Fenway is not complete without a sub from the Sausage Guy. I go every time I'm at a game. Go Sox!
Fill your pockets with hand-warmers. Sell them for ten bucks apiece.

Make sure you know all the words to sweet Caroline… otherwise they eject you from the park
They should eject that song from the ballpark
Eat before or after or bring your own food, their food sucks but they do let you bring your own in
