See the city from its streets and from the water with Boston Duck Tours. You'll take a ride on the amphibious DUCK vehicle and see important Beantown landmarks like the Boston Common and the Prudential Tower, and then you'll drive straight into the Charles River and see the city skyline from a distance. All the while, you'll have a tour guide telling you all about everything you're seeing.
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.
Step into the opulence of yesteryear and tour the Otis House Museum. The house is the last surviving mansion in what used to be Boston's most affluent neighborhood in the 18th century; the man who owned the home, Harrison Gray Otis, was a lawyer who served in Congress and was mayor of the city at one time. The Otis House is still decorated with furnishings that were the best of their time period, including fine furniture pieces and art work.
The Boston Nature Center presents the perfect definition of an urban oasis. Explore meadows and wetlands on foot, trekking over two miles of trails and boardwalks. Along with lush greenery, you have the chance to see wild animals like coyotes and a wide variety of birds. While you're spending time outdoors at the nature center, be sure to check out the Clark-Cooper Community Gardens.
