While you're hanging out in the Boston Public Garden, take a ride on the city's signature Swan Boats. The boats are the only ones of their kind in the world and they float the waters of the Public Garden lagoon. A ride on one of these boats is the best way to see all of the attractions in and around America's first botanical garden.

Spend the night laughing while enjoying the comedic entertainment hosted by the Improv Asylum. On-the-spot hilarity ensues at the shows here at what's been called “Boston's Best Comedy Club.” You can expect an experience that's like watching Saturday Night Live and Who's Line is it Anyway? combined.

The Riverway is a parkway that connects the Back Bay Fens and Olmsted Park, making it an important piece of the Emerald Necklace park system. Throughout the park, there are several historic bridges and hiking and walking paths, including the Bridle Path that was used by equestrians to cross the river. The Riverway offers a nice outdoor escape from the hustle and bustle of Brookline Avenue.
