[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sort of think Boston isn't a great city with this age group (6 and under).  The historical stuff will be lost on them (the 6 YO might get it but would get it more when he's older).  Some of the other stuff could be done in any city (childrens museum, etc, unless this one is really special).  Am I wrong?[/quote]

OP here. Funny you should say this! I actually completely agree with you, but DH hasn't been and wants to go, so we are going. Plus, it seems to break up the trip between urban and countryside. [/quote]

You could say that about any place.[/quote]

You can say that about many cities, in that the activities that are kid appropriate (under 6) are not unique to that city.  All things being equal, I'm not traveling 500-1000 miles to go to some random kids museum that costs $$ when our museums are free in DC.

But, some cities do have unique activities for kids- Seattle (Pikes Street Market, Space Needle, Ballard Locks); NYC (Natural history museum, ride ferries, etc).

I'm not a native Bostonian, so happy to be proven wrong. But most kids will not get the significance of the historical sites. [/quote]
