Enjoy the natural beauty of the area at Arnold Arboretum. The arboretum is part of Boston's Emerald Necklace park system, and at 265 acres, it's the second largest part of the “necklace”. Throughout the park, you'll see a variety of plant species and animals like turtles, racoons, white-tailed deer, squirrels, and a variety of birds and insects. There are a number of tours to choose from, leaving you with plenty of options for exploring this outdoor destination.
Show off your pool playing skills at Flat Top Johnny's, one of Boston's favorite places to shoot pool. In addition to pool, Flat Top Johnny's features pinball machines, dart boards, and more. While you're there, toss back a few beers or order a tasty bite to eat from the extensive menu.
Unconventionality at its finest is showcased at the Museum of Bad Art. Just like the name states, the museum is dedicated to the display and preservation of “art too bad to be ignored.” The MOBA is the only museum of its kind and holds a collection of nearly 600 pieces, and exhibits between 50 and 70 works at a time. See bad art in all forms, from paintings to sculpture, photography and more.
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.
