Luggage storage at and around the Boston Convention Center

The Boston Convention Center sits in the South Boston Seaport district, drawing millions of attendees to conventions and trade shows throughout the year. Its 516,000 square feet of column-free exhibit space and 82 meeting rooms mean large crowds, and not every event makes it easy to bring a suitcase through the door.

Security screening is frictionless — you won't need to empty your pockets — but the venue still prohibits outside food and drink, so plan around that if you're carrying anything beyond a small bag. The Lawn On D is an outdoor space situated at 420 D Street, adjacent to the Convention Center.

Getting to the Convention Center with your bags

The nearest transit stop is the World Trade Center station on the MBTA Silver Line, a 3-5 minute walk from the Convention Center on the SL1, SL2, or SL3. Boston South Station is the bigger hub nearby — about a 10-15 minute walk or a short ride on MBTA Local Bus route #7, which stops at 425 Summer Street. A standard bus fare costs $1.70, so it's an easy hop if you're arriving with luggage from Amtrak's Northeast Regional, Acela, or the Lake Shore Limited.

Inside the venue: what to expect and what's nearby

The Convention Center has no universal opening hours; entry times and registration are set by each event organiser, so check your specific show's schedule before arriving. For gate shows, hall access begins one hour before the event opens, which means you'll want your bag situation sorted before that window.

The venue sits at 415 Summer Street, putting you close to other Boston attractions if you're combining a conference with sightseeing.

The New England Aquarium is a short Blue Line ride away at the Aquarium station, open weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and weekends until 6:00 p.m. It prohibits bags larger than 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches in its main building and Simons Theatre, with exceptions only for nappy bags and medical supply carriers.

Long Wharf lies directly adjacent to the Aquarium station on the Blue Line, so it's an easy add-on for ferries after your event if you've stored your bags.
