Boston with almost 4 year old

[Anonymous]

We only have one day - what would be the one or two things we must do?

You could have a great visit to the science museum with a 4 year old. Definitely spend time in the kids section or st a presentation aimed at kids. Or visit the children’s museum.

Have the parents been to Boston before? You could combine a walk on the freedom trail with a stop at a playground. Boston has many playgrounds with both sand and water features, which are less common in the DC area.

Depending on the weather do a hop on hop off bus or the Ducks aquabus tour. That worked well.

I took two small kids to Boston. They liked the Paul Revere house but otherwise didn't get the Freedom Trail. I didn't even get too interested on my first visit to Boston as a high school junior.

Some kids may like the big historical Navy ship. My kids weren't too impressed. But I tried. It certainly has a different vibe from old buildings.

There was a lady busking near Harvard with a pay what you will writing on parchment with a quill pen experience. That was fun for the older kid.

We thought the science museum was great. Kids were slightly older, but not much.

We’re going whale watching.

If it rains, new england aquarium! I wouldn't go whale watching with a 4 yr old - high likelihood of puking, plus no guarantee of seeing whales.

An early tour of Harvard? Just kidding...
