The Freedom Trail
We love this cute carousel and it breaks up the freedom trail nicely for kids
The Greenway Carousel
Make sure to get a tasty something in Quincy market like a Kong Dog!

A free fun kids activity to beat the heat
Boston Common Frog Pond
This was free and adorable and we loved it!
Rollerama Open Skate
This is a great place to stop and beat a crowd after an exhausting day on the freedom trail. Everyone can get what they want and eat as much as they want. It’s a real crowd pleaser and they can handle humongous groups think up to 100 or 200 people.
