There's much to do outdoors at Boston's Franklin Park. The park has been coined as the “jewel” of the Emerald Necklace, boasting natural attractions like a beautiful pond and over 200 acres of forest. Other amenities of Franklin Park include an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, baseball fields, playgrounds, a 2.5-mile loop path, and the Franklin Park Zoo.
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.
Head to the House of Blues Boston for good food, good music and a great time. The entertainment venue has presented some awesome concerts since it was founded in the 1990s, with past performers like Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters, Matchbox 20, Coldplay, 311, Bush and hundreds of other musicians.
