The actual hall itself was not a huge attraction. It had some small shops inside for tourists and then an area to purchase historical tours. The area Faneuil Hall is in though, is a fun place to visit.

This is a beautiful historic building with a lot to look at and history to view and purchase. Out side street performers entertain and delight. Enjoyed the history of the building.

I don't know what we were expecting, but this is just a food court. The food looked good, but don't expect anything else.

An historic building surrounded by shopping, restaurants, outdoor performers, huge food court - fun! Be sure to visit the upstairs. When we were there on one occasion their was a tour guide explaining the historical significance of the building - as I recall if was a National Park Ranger - but that could be wrong. There are outdoor vendors, kites...

I live in Boston and today I was in Faneuil Hall and I was shocked that school trips with teachers as chaperones didn't know what to see. Teachers were under the impression that Faneuil Hall is an old building with a bunch of shops similar to other malls. This is sad. Not even teacher know about the cradle of liberty...

This facility has held significance in Massachussetts and US history for multiple decades. It is worth a visit to this place to soak in that significance. It is not only historic but an architectural gem as well.

I recently visited Faneuil Hall with a cousin of mine. We had a great time here. Lots of shops and LOTS of food! There is a great variety of food here and shops for everyone. Quincy Market is in Faneuil Hall and that is where we spent our time.

Walkable distance from North end station and Hay market, so feel free to explore the place. Evening you can find lots of street performance. Place is full of...
