Make a day of fun for the whole family by exploring all there is to do in Boston. From the zoo to some great museums and historical sites you'll all enjoy the day as you explore TravelSkoot's Fun Family Activities in Boston.
Board the Boston Duck for a "Quacken" good time. Once on board a friendly and knowledgeable "ConDucktor" will greet you. Then it's off to see one of America's oldest cities aboard a WWII-style, amphibious landing vehicle. On the tour you will pass many amazing Bostonian sites including the Golden-domed State House, the Boston Common, the Big Dig, the very high-end Newbury Street and wait there is more. No duck tour would be complete without getting wet. You won't actually get wet but your duck will splash its way right into the Charles River where you will get a unique view of the Boston and Cambridge Skylines.

A visit to the Franklin Park Zoo will most likely be a roaring good time. This 72-acre zoo first opened in 1913 and has long been considered as the "crown jewel" of its local park system. Here, visitors of all ages can meet and learn about exotic animals such as: the African lions of the Kalahari Kingdom, the Grevy's zebra, the Masai giraffe and the western lowland gorillas of the Tropical Forest. The Franklin Park Zoo plays an active role in environmental enrichment to ensure that all the animals have similar scenarios and settings that meet the same standards they would have in the wild.

No trip to Boston would be complete without taking a two and a half mile walk along the historic Freedom Trail. Considered Boston's "indoor/outdoor" museum this walk will bring you back to the days of the American Revolution. The red brick path will lead you past 16 historically momentous sites including the Park Street Church, King's Chapel, Site of the Boston Massacre, Paul Revere House, USS Constitution also known as "Old Ironsides" and many more. It does not matter where you start, but we do suggest seeing them all.
