Guided bike tours
There are guided bike tours around the city of Boston where you and your kids will extremely have the time of your lives. Renting bikes will be good but you can also try creating your own bikes if you want. If you would rather explore the city on your own, it is recommended that you pass by the Boston Esplanade. This is a safe place where kids will enjoy riding their bicycles while exploring the different sites.
Watch a game of their favorite sports teams
Are your kids routing for the Red Sox or do they want to cheer for the Boston Celtics instead? The TD Garden is a perfect place where they can enjoy watching games of their sports teams. If you want a cheaper option though, you can look for tickets for the less famous Boston sports. The good thing about them is they offer the same excitement as their more popular counterparts. Your kids can even ask for autographs from their favorite players.
A tour at the Fenway Park
When you and your kids cannot access the ball park while watching the Red Sox game, you can try exploring the Fenway Park. This is the gateway to other fabulous activities where your kids can explore the playing field or visit the dugout. They can also get inside the Green Monster, a popular place in the Fenway Park.
