Places to go to on nice summer days
This garden is such a beautiful place to visit especially when the flowers are in full bloom. It’s a great place to take pictures or even just go for a walk with your significant other
Kelleher Rose Garden
The swan boats are located in the Boston commons and is great for all ages. It’s just a ride to take in the scenery but kids love it and adults ride it to take in the moment. It does cost money but it’s not too expensive from what I remember

Little cute shops or the best places to grab a quick drink or treat
I just visited this little cafe last week and the quality of the food is so good. It’s called an Asian-fusion restaurant online but I honestly think it’s more of a cafe vibe than a restaurant. They have boba, smoothies, sandwiches, appetizers, Hong K...

Museums & Entertainment
Places from museums or arcades are endless

F1 Arcade Boston
This museum is like no other! You get to try different flavors of ice cream and get to know some cool facts about toppings and different flavors. It’s great for kids and there are so many different activities to keep them occupied. You do have to buy...
Museum of Ice Cream
From dinosaur fossils to shows about electricity, the museum of science is a fun place for all ages. You can spend hours in here and learn new things you didn’t know about science.
Museum of Science
This is not your normal game of mini golf. Puttshack has different levels that go from a game of cup pong to answering a true or false question. It is only 8 holes so the game does fly by but it’s definitely an experience to try out. They also have a...
