Customer Reviews

For EVERY parent who visits Boston!

Lots of guides give you advice and stuff to do in Boston. Some even get specific, offering fun suggestions for night owls, or museum lovers or history buffs. Finally, an easy-to-read, VERY helpful guide for PARENTS! We had a couple guides, but this was the only one we used. Plus, you can DEFINITELY tell that the author lived in and loves the city. Thumbs up all the way around. Waiting on the dog lover's guide next . . .

It's a cliche that everything is different once you have kids. But in the case of traveling, it is definitely true. Now that I have two toddlers, most of the traveling I do is right in the city where I was born and raised.

With lots of interesting finds and sensible advice, MacKinnon makes bringing kids (even the youngest ones) into the city seem fun and manageable, whether you are flying into Logan or just taking the T. Some nice day trips are also included.
