The Best Family Experiences

A Visit to Faneuil Hall Marketplace: Street performers, crowds from the world over, the food court, restaurants, bars, and shops make Faneuil Hall Marketplace (you'll also hear it called Quincy Market) Boston's most popular destination. It's conveniently located across the street from the harbor, where a stroll along the water can help your crew decompress.

An Exploration of the Museum of Science: Your kids will revel in the displays and exhibits that cram every branch of science and inquiry into this enormous and child-accessible institution.

An Excursion to the Public Garden: A perfect retreat during or after a busy day of sightseeing. Ride a Swan Boat, visit with the Mallard family of Make Way for Ducklings fame, admire the real birds, and marvel as the whole family starts to chill out.

A Trip to the Children's Museum: The hands-on exhibits, noisy galleries, and overall air of discovery and excitement make this excursion catnip for the elementary-school set.

A Thrill "Ride": The Mugar Omni Theater (at the Museum of Science) and the 3-D Simons IMAX Theatre (at the New England Aquarium) offer intrepid visitors hair-raising experiences in the safety of a comfortable auditorium. Most of the large-format films concentrate on the natural world.
