Church staff were friendly and kind, they informed me on their believes and gave me a free tour, definitely would recommend this if you’re in boston anytime soon!

I highly recommend a visit of the Christian Science Church campus. Their Mapparium tour is cheap and interesting way to spent 30 minutes. I didn't really know what it was until we went inside the giant glass globe. They also offer free tours of the church. The main church is absolutely beautiful. I believe they tune the organ about every 2 weeks. If you're in town, drop by to hear it play. Lastly, the CS staff was great! A big thanks to Bill who gave us the tour.

Amazing tour guides. This church is an architectural marvel with the biggest pipe organ I've ever seen-top 10 biggest in the world. If you ask nicely, the tour guide will ask the organist on site to come and play a short song so you can witness how grand the sound is.

If you're visiting Boston, I highly recommend taking a tour of this church as it is gorgeous. They are currently working on it as I write this review, but once it is finished in 2018, it is a must see! The ceilings are beautiful and it houses one of the largest pipe organs in the world!

Questions & Answers

how should i behave when my wife who isn't a Christian scientist doesn't want to go to church with me ? for she attends another church and i don't really appreciate it

Respecting each other’s beliefs and knowing that both of you love God is a good place to start. Perhaps offering to accompany her to her church one week and she to your’s the next. As the previous poster said, “Love is reflected in love”. She may not understand what Christian Science is. Church is a place people love and find comfort in; a home, so to speak. Share the Love and have no expectations. She may agree to go to a service or two (a Wednesday Testimony Meeting would be a wonderful introduction). If not, please try to not be offended. She may not feel comfortable with changing her church. Either way, she will appreciate your gentleness and compassion, and you can accept and respect her beliefs as well. ❤️

Paid parking in underground garage. Or, metered parking on surrounding streets.

I would like to visit the Mother Church in Boston. Never been to Boston before. Is it better to arrive in Boston by bus or Amtrak? Does anyone have suggestions for decent, not too expensive, hotels in the area? Thanks in advance.

Hotels are some of the most expensive in the country. I'm not sure what you mean by not too expensive. You can expect to pay anywhere from 200+ a night to 1000. Try one of the sites like expedia. The hotels closest to the Mother Church are the mIdtown which is directly across from The Mot
