When it comes to incredible history, top cultural attractions, art, eats and even outdoor fun, Boston has more than its fair share. And if you’re traveling to this historic city with the kids, there’s plenty to do and see that will make their experience (and yours) unforgettable.
Walk Like a Penguin
Head over to the New England Aquarium for an underwater adventure without getting wet. Your kids will enjoy meeting the penguins, holding sea critters in their hands and discovering tons of fascinating facts about the many sea animals they’ll encounter at this top Boston attraction.
Visit Kyoto, Japan
At the Boston Children’s Museum, you and your children can engage in a wide array of fun, educational and enlightening exhibits and programs, including the Japanese House, an authentic two-story silk merchant’s home from Kyoto, Japan. There’s also the Bubbles exhibit, the Art Studio (where kids and families can make art together) and the construction zone (where they’ll ride a Bobcat, operate a jackhammer and use ramps, bridges and tunnels to build a world). Hours of adventure and engaging activities await you at the long-loved Boston museum.
Pet a Sheep
Everyone loves adorable sheep and at the Franklin Park Zoo your kids will get a chance to pet them along with the goats that live in the petting zoo. They’ll also get a kick out of seeing lions, gorillas, giraffes, zebras, tigers and the hundreds of other species that call the zoo their home. The kids can also get wild and crazy at the zoo’s 10,000 square foot playground and feel the exhilaration of the Rhino Rescue Ride, an interactive experience that includes a 3D film, motion simulator seats and awesome special effects.
