by Kim Foley MacKinnon

Offering parents insider advice on the sights in and around Boston, this travel guide shows that there's more to Boston than Freedom Trail and Fenway Park. It covers all the things that parents and kids will love to do together, including downtown Boston, taking a ferry out to the Boston Harbor Islands for a picnic, the Lantern Festival, and ice skating on the Frog Pond in Boston Commons. Families will enjoy Back Bay, quirky Harvard Square, the Italian North End, and many other neighborhoods. Also included are resources for kid-friendly places to eat, accommodations, easy-to-read maps, tour operators, and special deals.
