C Garland Renovations

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.

You won't be at a loss for recreation at the Hale Reservation. There's plenty of room for fun here! Come for the day or plan a camping trip; while you're here, check out the playground, explore recreation trails, have a picnic in the open field, or try fishing in one of the three nearby ponds.

Imagination and education go hand-in-hand at the Boston Children's Museum. The museum is the second oldest children's museum in the nation, housing exhibits that explain science, nature, art, history and more. A few of the engaging exhibitions include Kid Power, Science Playground, Global Gallery, and Countdown to Kindergarten.
