July 4 is the big celebration on the river if you're here then. or try the Duck Tour, very popular. Or don't plan too much, just walk around, get lost, and see what you run into!

Boston's a great place that anyone can enjoy! The Duck Tours are alot of fun, if they like art, there's the Boston museum of fine art. Visit Fenway Park, but book early because Red Sox tickets are pretty expensive. Take the freedom trail to cover all the main historic places, or check out the New England Aquarium. See Boston gardens, feed the birds in the pond, and maybe even go for a ride on one of the swan boats. There's also the museum of science, which is pretty cool, and the USS constitution. For lunch swing by Faneuil Hall marketplace for lots shops, and food. If they like seafood, there's Legal Seafood, which many people will tell you is great!(and fairly pricey) There's the prudential center for more shopping, and if your willing to travel an hour or so out of the city, to my small hometown of Wrentham, Massachusetts, there are the Wrentham Premium Outlet malls. They have discount stores including, Coach and Juicy Couture. Getting back into the city itself, you can't foget Newsbury Street, which is 8 blocks (i think) of shopping. However that is on the pricier side. Also visit Chinatown if you like chinese food, or the italian quarters of Boston for italian.

Happy huntings! Hope you have fun =]

Take the Charlie (subway) to the common. There you can walk the Freedom trail which is marked out on the sidewalk and streets. Along the way, you can see lots of historic sites. It is about a 2 mile trek.

Also, you might want to drive just a little bit north of Boston and visit the town of Salem - lots of historic tours there. You might want to visit the Salem Witch Museum - very interesting.

Also, a visit to the JFK library and museum is a great way to spend the afternoon. It is really a step back in time and so educational.

The Science Museum is really nice. Also the Farmers Market, Salem Mass. Plymouth Plantation. Go to the Chamber of Commerce online for Boston and they may have things for you there too. Good Luck!
