AMC Boston Common 19

Theater with easy access to the T. Seats were no recliners, but comfortable and could see screen really well. Was happy to see a movie with an early release date here.
Went to an adult night and it was a good time. They had games, builder challenges and prizes. They have alcohol options and their snack bar which has some hot food choices. We had fun with the VR experience, the 4D theater, the ride (where you shoot at bad Lego characters) and the little building challenges

We had a really friendly waiter who gave as a bit of history on the place. Learned it's the 3rd oldest building in Boston and John Hancock owned it/worked out of it. The food was delicious and the chocolate lava cake is worth it! It's 3 stories, but has seating available on the ground floor so mobility can be accommodated We want to go back already.
Don't let the name fool you, the whole museum is just a hallway leading to the elevator that takes you to the clocktower for a view of the city. It's the 3rd highest place to get a look from. The view is fairly obstructed by the safety measures, so it doesn't lead to the best photos, but definitely worth the visit. It has National Park staff to answer questions and get you in/out of the right doors. Be sure to use the side entrance, not the hotel entrance.
A somber place to visit, but I am so glad we took the time and opportunity to add this into our schedule. As someone from the US, to see a memorial for those sent to the camps was heart-wrenching. I am glad there is a memorial dedicated to their lives. Its free and not very large, but if you take the time to read through the exhibits which are in a few languages, it's worth spending a bit of time here.
