When you are done taking photos, you can move on to Quincy Market, which is a popular space for different kinds of events all year long.

If you don’t mind a short 20-minute drive, you should definitely check out the Stone Zoo, which is located in Stoneham. Marvel in nature’s regal beauty as the winter exhibits include animals such as wolves, cougars, black bears, and more. The best time to visit is in the morning, as it closes early at 4pm.
