With more than 1,000 points of interest, events and family friendly
things to do, the greater Boston area can seem a little overwhelming at
first.
What do you want to see? Boston’s tour companies can show it to you
with city trolley tours, fall foliage tours, brew pub tours, sports
tours, harbor tours, ghost tours and more. And how do you want to see it? There are tours by foot, boat, bike, bus
and even tours in World War II amphibious vehicles called “ducks” that
explore both the road and the river.
Our museums are among the finest in the country. Whatever your
interest, Boston has a museum for you: fine art, contemporary art,
hands-on-science exhibits, historical relics, the latest computer
technology and over 3,000 glass flowers. You can dive into the New England Aquarium, or soar 50 stories above
the street with a visit to the Skywalk Observatory, where you’ll take
in magnificent 360-degree views of Boston and beyond. For the Traveling Family, there’s Boston Children's Museum, one of the
best in the country. If you’re of the scientific mind, be sure to visit
the Museum of Science, which features more than 600 exhibits. For the
naturalist, the Harvard Museum of Natural History has more than 21 million
specimens for you to examine.
Boston's cultural calendar is seemingly endless: mellow jazz clubs,
rock concerts, Mozart concertos, children's puppet shows, musicals and
classic plays can all be seen and heard here. For
last-minute decisions, Bostix, a half-price, day of the show ticket
outlet, is located at Copley Square and at Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
Nightlifers can start out at a local bar or pub and wind up the evening
at one of the city's many dance clubs, improv theatres or comedy clubs.
For those who want a different spin on a night-on-the-town, perhaps
it’s center row at the theatre, a cozy corner at a piano bar or
standing-room-only at one of the city's many outdoor festivals.
