Storrow Drive, The Esplanade, Boston, MA map
Parking Tip:
Usually, the city of Boston closes the right lane of Storrow Drive next to the Hatch Shell on days when there are concerts and movies. Parts of Beacon Hill have sporadic spots, but very few for non-residents. Charles Street has limited parking but fills up quickly - especially on Friday nights. Your best bet is to take public transportation.
Using Public Transportation:
Take Red Line to Charles (Street)/MGH station or the Green line to Arlington station. Walk down Arl ington St. toward Beacon St. & cross Beacon St. You will see the big Arthur Fiedler Walkway in front of you. Walk across the walkway and the Hatch Shell is on your right.

Great Evening!!, Sun 8 Jun 2008
This is the best way to enjoy a movie with your family on Friday night. There is ususally a trivia contest or local entertainment before the movie and the movies are usually apropriate for all ages. The city closes down the right lane of Storrow drive and uses the lane for parking, so your car is usually only steps from the Hatch shell.
Friday Night Flicks, Sun 19 Aug 2007
they are a great family outing BUT the parking is horrible! We had to miss the Wizard of OZ because of parking and we planned this 3 weeks in advance. Also when you are a single mom with 1 or 2 children and the wizard of oz is a long movie walking back to the parking is dreadful and safety is always an issue.
