Watch the opening battle of the American Revolution take place right before your eyes at Minute Man National Historical Park. This hallowed ground is where the war began and where it is relived through reenactments. These demonstrations aren't the only things to do at the park though; explore the visitors center, walk down Battle Road Trail, check out the Hartwell Tavern and The Wayside and other park attractions.
Set sail to see some of nature's most regal creatures on a New England Aquarium Whale Watch expedition. This tour will take you onto the waters east of Boston aboard a high-speed catamaran, and on your excursion you'll see humpback, finback, minke, and pilot whales, along with dolphins and other marine life.
The Old State House is where The Declaration of Independence was born – the stand for American freedom began here. This important civic building was used as the first state house for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts after the American Revolution was won, and was later utilized as the home for a number of other services like city hall and post office. The Old State House has been a museum dedicated to early Boston and American history since 1881.
There's much to do outdoors at Boston's Franklin Park. The park has been coined as the “jewel” of the Emerald Necklace, boasting natural attractions like a beautiful pond and over 200 acres of forest. Other amenities of Franklin Park include an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, baseball fields, playgrounds, a 2.5-mile loop path, and the Franklin Park Zoo.
