Spend a Spring Day at Prudential Center with These Foodie, Sporty, and Photo-Worthy Experiences
It’s official: Boston weekends are no longer better spent under blankets on the couch. The air is growing milder and the sun is shining brighter—that means it’s time to start making plans to fill your spring afternoons with the city’s best in fun, flavor, and discovery.
If you’re looking for the perfect place for spring outings where you can see all the iconic Boston sights, taste the freshest menus, and find the latest in retail and fashion, Prudential Center answers confidently with a strong lineup of spring openings and activities for you and yours to enjoy all season and beyond. Here’s some Prudential Center experiences you can pencil into your spring calendar, no matter what type of fun you’re seeking.
For Sporty Folks: DICK’S House of Sport
A brand-new retail experience, DICK’S House of Sport, is coming to Prudential Center just in time for Marathon Monday. This all-new location is dedicated to helping athletes reach the top of their game with not only the best apparel, footwear, and equipment brands but also unique in-store experiences such as a climbing wall, multi-sport HitTrax cage and TrackMan golf simulators. So, while you can shop the latest styles in footwear, lifestyle, and athletic apparel, you can also test out equipment—and your skills—before you hit the fields, courts, and courses this summer.
For Thrill Seekers: View Boston
If you’re looking for the perfect backdrop for a family photo or a romantic spot to celebrate an anniversary (or just a new place to grab drinks with friends), look no further than View Boston, the top floor of Prudential Tower that opened in 2023 as an open-air roof deck displaying uninterrupted views of the entire city of Boston. Just buy your ticket, grab your camera, and head to the 51st floor of the Tower. You can grab a drink at View Boston’s bar, Stratus, a snack at The Beacon, and take in a view you won’t soon forget.
For Foodies: Earl’s Kitchen + Bar
You’re bound to work up an appetite after hitting the batting cages and sightseeing all morning, and Earl’s Kitchen + Bar is one of the top spots in all of Boston to grab a meal and a drink before you continue your outing or head home for the night. Their menu revolves around fresh ingredients and inventive flavors, with new highlights like truffled parmesan chicken, yuzu tuna tataki, and spicy shrimp pizza. They also have a fun lineup of zero-proof cocktails and tempting desserts to put a sweet punctuation on your spring day in Back Bay.
For Trend Setters: OAK + FORT
If you’re into today’s styles, you won’t be able to walk past OAK + FORT in Prudential Center without stopping in to check out their sleek, fashion-forward basics and statement pieces—minus the hefty price tag of designer brands. OAK + FORT is the perfect place to start building your spring and summer wardrobe if you haven’t already, especially if you’re looking for high-class pieces with long lines, lots of neutrals, and easily-best-dressed work outfits.
For The Historian: Boston Duck Tours
Boston’s famous land-and-water Duck Tours launch from Prudential Center on Huntington Avenue. These 80-minute tours, narrated by dedicated ConDUCKtors, will take you by all the most iconic Boston destinations like the State House and Boston Common, North End, Newbury Street, Quincy Market, and directly into the Charles River for an enviable view of the Boston skyline on one side and Cambridge on the other. Duck Tours are perfect for marathoners looking to tour the city without being on foot, or anyone looking to get to know Boston from new perspectives.
For Those Looking to Give Back: Volunteer Expo
Prudential Center is hosting their Volunteer Expo for the 17th year on April 24 at 4:30 p.m. in the Huntington Arcade near the Concierge Desk. This event welcomes prospective volunteers like you to meet and get acquainted with Boston-area nonprofit organizations who need hands on deck going into the spring and summer to do what they do best. Volunteering with Boston non-profits will give you the chance to pay it forward and further spread the positive energy that spring in Boston brings.
With all the offerings in food, fashion, and fun at Prudential Center this spring, you can continue to share that sunny energy with friends and family all season. Because although the warm weather won’t last forever, the memories will.
