Imagination and education go hand-in-hand at the Boston Children's Museum. The museum is the second oldest children's museum in the nation, housing exhibits that explain science, nature, art, history and more. A few of the engaging exhibitions include Kid Power, Science Playground, Global Gallery, and Countdown to Kindergarten.
Sure, New York City and Hollywood are where the movies are made, but Boston has been the production spot of quite a few films. Let the people at On Location Tours take you on an excursion that shows off the spots in Beantown where movie magic has been made. Highlights include seeing the original Cheers bar and the park bench from Good Will Hunting.
For a day outdoors, the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway is the perfect place to hang out. The greenway is comprised of 1.5 miles of park space, meaning there's plenty of opportunity for recreational fun in nature. Public art, gardens and fountains can be found throughout the greenway. This incredible stretch of land is also surrounded by some of the city's most important neighborhoods, including the Wharf District and Chinatown.
Boston sports history is on display at The Sports Museum, located in the TD Garden arena. As you tour the museum, you'll see features on teams like the Celtics, the Bruins, the Patriots, and the Red Sox. Interesting items featured include a replica of Larry Bird's locker, the ice skates and a performance outfit belonging to Nancy Kerrigan, and memorabilia from when the city's NFL franchise was known as the Boston Redskins.
