Family Activities In Boston Area. Children under 1 are free. But families can also get lost in the halls of museums interact with marine life at a world class aquarium and even get rowdy at the oldest ballpark in major league baseball.
Art connections sheets can be downloaded or picked up at the visitor center to help kids search for objects and images in the art from dogs to dragons to chocolate. From the opening meeting to the walk in the replica ship then the multi media experience with projected characters that the guides interact with it was enjoyable for the whole family the staff helps visitors re enact the events of the boston tea party starting with a rowdy and fun town meeting led by sam adams and culminating in the opportunity to toss chests of british tea into boston. Family activity totes available free at the sharf visitor center are filed with self guided gallery activities for kids and a sketchpad and colored pencils to make a visit more fun.
My kids favorite is the arthur and friends area where the airplane is a major hit.
