Boston is Massachusetts\u2019 capital and largest city. Full of diverse neighborhoods, rich with history, the area is a popular destination spot. With fantastic public transport, and great sights to see, it\u2019s easy to have a few days fly right past you if you\u2019re not careful. Plan ahead and get the most out of your upcoming visit. Family time is special, and deserves the right amount of focus to truly enjoy.<\/p>\n

Here at\u00a0The Envoy Hotel<\/a>, we offer great pricing on our luxury accommodations, with convenient access to many popular spots, including the waterfront and innovation district. However, not everything has to cost an arm and a leg. Here are seven awesome ideas for family fun without breaking the bank:<\/p>\n

#1 \u2013 Walk The Waterfront<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since you\u2019ll be staying so close with us here at our property, why not get the most out of the convenience? Nothing compares to an exciting stroll along the Harborwalk, which passes through some of Boston\u2019s most historic neighborhoods. With many shops and restaurants along the path, you\u2019ll have a lot to see and experience.<\/p>\n

<\/span>#2 \u2013 Head To The Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

Including over seven miles of green park area,\u00a0Emerald Necklace Park<\/a>\u00a0stretches from downtown Boston into Brookline. Two notable spots from this area include Boston Common and Public Garden, as well as the Jamaica Pond. If the weather permits, you\u2019ll have plenty of space for a lovely picnic or bike ride, or even sledding in the winter.<\/p>\n

#3 \u2013 Summertime Beach Fun<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most historical stretches of sand in the area is Revere Beach, which happens to be America\u2019s first public beach. Plan ahead for the right time of the season and you\u2019ll be treated to sunshine and relaxing waves. There are also nice beach areas at Castle Island in South Boston, too.<\/p>\n

#4 \u2013 Visit The Children\u2019s Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Boston Children\u2019s Museum should be on every family\u2019s list when visiting. It ties together developing the imagination and joyful discovery experiences. While child-centered exhibits and programs change often, they\u2019re all planned to be hands on, engaging, and interactive. Artistic, fun, and great for learning, this museum is a fantastic time for children and their families.<\/p>\n

#5 \u2013 The New England Aquarium<\/strong><\/p>\n

As one of Boston\u2019s most popular tourist attractions, it\u2019s going to be best to catch this one during the week if at all possible. The tickets are well worth the price of admission. The New England Aquarium makes for an awesome day of fish, fun, and fins. Buy your tickets ahead of time to avoid the long lines and make sure to visit the penguins.<\/p>\n
