Get tickets to a performance at The Colonial Theatre. The impressive entertainment venue opened in 1903 and even now, over 100 years later, The Colonial has retained its elaborate architectural features with minimal renovations. The venue hosts a variety of productions including concerts, musicals, and other popular touring performances.
Explore the Great Brook Farm State Park on over 20 miles of recreation trails. The trails throughout the park are perfect for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, and in the winter they provide the perfect path for skiing. Along with plenty of ways to stretch your legs and enjoy nature, the park offers a look at what the classic eastern Massachusetts agricultural landscape is like.
Dive deep into ocean exploration at the New England Aquarium. You'll see a variety of sea creatures living in simulated versions of their natural habitats through exhibits like the Amazon Rainforest, the Gulf of Maine, the Pacific Reef Community, the Edge of the Sea, and many others. A few of the animals you will see include sharks, sting rays, sea turtles, seals, jelly fish, penguins, octopuses, and dolphins.
Take a look back in time at the Nichols House Museum, one of the oldest homes in Beacon Hill. The house was built in 1804 and purchased by Dr. Arthur Nichols in 1885; the house stayed in the family until the death of the doctor's daughter, Rose Standish Nichols, in 1960. As can be imagined, the family accumulated many things throughout the years from art works to furniture, oriental rugs, and other furnishings and antiquities. You're invited to experience early American life inside the walls of this historic home.
