Hey guys,
Could anyone give me some advice about the best way to get to the Wrentham Outlet Mall? I will be in Boston next week and will be staying in teh Omni Parker.
Bus? Train?
I have never been in Boston before so I have no prior knowledge!
Also, where else is good for shopping in teh Boston area?
Thanks!
How to get to Wrentham Outlet Mall???
Grayline Tours has a round trip fare of $36.00 per person. The pickup time at your hotel is 8:55 A. M. I believe the return departure time is either 3 or 4 P. M. There are no other options from Grayline. Refer to:

There is some kind of minivan tour with more flexible times but some other poster will have to provide the details for you. There were several discussions within the last two months on this subject on Trip Advisor. Type ';Wrentham'; into the search box on this site and you should find them.
Several posters have decided to rent / hire a car as it provides them with more flexibility with regard to controlling their own schedule.
The airport rental agencies have the latest return / drop off times.
Nearby to your hotel within walking distance is excellent shopping at Macys, Filene%26#39;s and Filene%26#39;s Basement stores on Washington Street.

If you decide to rent / hire a car, pick it up at the airport on the morning of your departure for Wrentham and return it late that same day. Then, take the subway, (the ';T';), to return to your hotel. You do not want to pay for parking in Boston as it is exorbitant.
Go to the Conceirge at the hotel and they will assist
The bus picks up right accross the street
Very Easy and the Hotel is also in the best location in the city right near Macy%26#39;s and Filene%26#39;s Basement which you should check out the deals on shopping. The hotel also has a great breakfast buffet.
Hi Durk,
I went to Wrentham last week. Because of the lack of flexible pick up times with Grayline we hired a car just as earlier suggested from the airport.
We got a car for 拢28 for the day with www.auto-europe.co.uk - it covered the petrol and additional drivers in the price.
We caught the ';T'; from State to the Airport. Got on the Alamo (thats who the rental was with through Auto Europe) bus which stops at each terminal. We picked up the car at 8.00am. The drive to Wrentham was easy - the traffic was going the other way into Boston - its Interstate virtually all the way.
After filling the boot with purchases(!) we took the car back at 8.30pm and got back to the Omni Parker House within half an hour. It was all so easy!
One tip - we took one of our ';duffle type'; cases and put all our purchases in that to bring back from the airport - its only 3 stops from the airport to State.
We had a great day there - I know outlet malls aren%26#39;t everyone%26#39;s cup of tea but we bought loads of bargins and christmas pressies.
Hope you have a great time
Have you registered for the Omni Select guest program? If not, its free and you get lots of little extras - worth doing and e mail the select guest coordinator Kate Casey before you leave and she will arrange a nice room for you if you give her your select guest number.
Its a lovely hotel - go into the Last Hurrah Bar for a drink - great atmosphere in there.
Sarah
