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.
Rent a canoe or kayak from the South Bridge Boat House for a day of fun on the water. Set sail on your excursion and explore the waters of the Assabet, Sudbury, and Concord rivers. If you don't feel like piloting your own adventure, look into enjoying a river cruise aboard a pontoon boat.
There's not much that could be more romantic than a date on the water. Plan your next date night with a Spirit of Boston sunset dinner cruise on the beautiful Boston Harbor. As you dine on a buffet of sumptuous foods you'll enjoy taking in the view of the city from the luxury ship; after dinner you'll have plenty of opportunities to get close with drinks and dancing. For an extra romantic moment, toast to your love while experiencing the view from the ship's outdoor deck.
Imagination and education go hand-in-hand at the Boston Children's Museum. The museum is the second oldest children's museum in the nation, housing exhibits that explain science, nature, art, history and more. A few of the engaging exhibitions include Kid Power, Science Playground, Global Gallery, and Countdown to Kindergarten.
