What people say, in short
Many visitors suggest the monument as a Freedom Trail stop, and several recommend climbing to the top. One describes the climb as a do-it-yourself city view, another says the view makes the battle easier to picture, and one calls the climb an impressive finish to the walk. The climb is by stairs, so one notes it suits those who are fine with stairs, and one suggests it as a place to let kids run around.
