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.
Forget first-run films and check out what you've been missing at the Independent Film Festival Boston. This festival offers the opportunity for you to see excellent films that may not have had a wide-release, serving to remind the public that just because the film didn't have a huge budget, doesn't mean it isn't a masterpiece. International films, short films, documentaries and more are all screened at the event.
Explore the beer making process at Boston's Harpoon Brewery. The brewery was the first to receive a permit to brew and package beer for sale to the public and is very proud to hold Permit No. 1. Tours take place on the weekend and include the opportunity to taste a few of the company's brews. If you'd like to forgo the tour and get straight to the beer, stop by during the week for a tasting.
