Strap on your skates and tear up the ice at the Boston Common Frog Pond. If you're not so good on your feet, sign up for skating lessons; if you know what you're doing with those skates, show off on the ice. Also, the pond features College Night on Tuesdays. Get a little cold on the ice? Stop at the Frog Pond Cafe for a cup of coffee to keep you warm.
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.
America's fight for independence began in Boston, so what better way to celebrate Independence Day than in the place where it all started? The Boston Harborfest is the city's week-long celebration of American independence, and on July 4th the festival moves to the Charles River Esplanade for a great view of fireworks and patriotic music by the Boston Pops.
