The old observatory floor on the 50th floor is included in the new observatory.
Going by the website I think its possible to figure out the layout of the floors.
On the site the top floor looks like this and is called the view. This is on the 52nd floor.
On the next floor down theyve fitted out the old blank space between the tower and top hat into a new area which has the bar called stratus. You can see that it leads directly to the outdoor observation deck. This floor is called the cloud terrace and is on floor 51.
The description on the site is as follows: “The journey continues on the 51st floor where you will find plenty of photo opportunities as you roam the 360-degree open air roof deck and stop to enjoy beverages with a view at Stratus.” All thats mentioned is the bar and outdoor obs deck.
So that leaves boston 365, explore boston, the theatre called open doors, and the beacon restaurant. Theres also a gift shop called the shop.

So thats a lot of stuff for the 50th floor so its possible the restaurant is also on the 51st floor with the bar. Either way that leaves boston 365, explore boston, and the open doors theater for floor 50, plus the gift shop is probably somewhere in there as well.

I can't imagine it's a big production as the original renders of placing it within the South Garden. You walk into the former storefront space and there's essentially a vestibule with an escalator to take you down to -1 and then I think you pick up the elevator down there within a modest lobby.Anyone know of any plans or diagrams that show how the basement part is laid out?
Lowest option is $35 per adult.Cost per ticket?
I hope it never happens that someone, like, throws a baseball over that glass. Do they restrict people from carrying stuff onto the outdoor area?They did have their grand reopening today, and just coincidentally happened to be in the city. I snagged a ticket and spent two hours checking it out and taking photos. I have an old camera phone (Galaxy S8) so these aren't professional grade. But I tried to capture as many angles as possible with you all in mind. Living in Boston in the early 2000s, I remember quite well the Top of the Hub. However, I'll say that the Top of the Hub is a fart in the wind compared to what is there now (in my humble opinion). I was very impressed. View attachment 39150

You know, I this thought crossed my mind while I was there. I had a glass of wine from the bar and assumed that I would be restricted to the bar area with my glass. However, when I asked, the bartender said I was free to walk anywhere I wanted as long as I stayed in the outdoor open glass area or in the bar itself (i.e. don't go to other levels with the glass). Maybe this will be more restrictive now that the grand reopening is done, but I was quite surprised. And I did take advantage of it and spent a good part of an hour (and two glasses of wine) just walking around and enjoying the views.I hope it never happens that someone, like, throws a baseball over that glass. Do they restrict people from carrying stuff onto the outdoor area?
I won't post all the pictures I took of the city, but I highly recommend seeing this before more people know about it. Who can spot the mistake in this one?
