Boston Casts Its Votes for Things to do with Kids

BOSTON, Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- What are the best things to do with kids in Boston? While there are many opinion-based responses to this question, Stacey Sao, the master researcher behind the Boston activities and events website, Boston Central, decided to get an unbiased, fact-based answer, conducting a comprehensive survey sent to thousands of families in the Greater Boston area.

This survey was in open ended question format.  No lists or leads were given.  We asked: "Tell us your favorite place(s) in Boston to visit with kids". 

As expected, there were around ten very popular ideas that came up over & over again. But there were also over 50 brilliantly interesting ideas that were submitted.  We've catalogued these into a summary that lists the most popular things to do in Boston with kids, followed by groups of other ideas for anyone looking to find something unconventional or off-the-beaten path.

The Top Activities

The top 10 activities cited include the Boston Children's Museum, Boston Museum of Science, New England Aquarium, the Rose Kennedy Greenway (including the carousel & fountains), Castle Island, Swan Boats, Boston Common, Franklin Park Zoo, The Lawn on D, & Boston Public Garden.

Brilliant Off-the-Beaten-Path Ideas

• Metropolitan Waterworks Museum
• Boston Harbor Islands
• Tougas Farm
• American Heritage Museum
• USS Constitution Museum
• The Anchor
• Discovery Museum & Discovery Woods

"Every single one of these venues is a favorite to many and each one has something special to offer. The best part is, you really don't have to spend a lot of money to have fun in Boston," said Ms. Sao. "Locals can access many of the higher-priced venues with discount passes from the library, which is a hidden gem in and of itself."
