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.
Spend some time hanging out in the country's oldest park. The 50-acre Boston Common is the anchor for the Emerald Necklace park system and is the starting place of the famous Freedom Trail. There are quite a few monuments throughout the park, and several outdoor events take place in the Common throughout the year.
Spend an evening enjoying the sounds of the symphony and attend a performance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Scheduled performances bring renown classical music pieces to life, including works by composers like Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Strauss, Stravinsky, Debussy and many others. For a special treat, see if there's a tour of Boston Symphony Hall scheduled before the performance you want to see.
