During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Boston Massacre Site
A ring of cobblestones on a traffic island marks the location of the skirmish that helped consolidate the spirit of rebellion in the colonies. On March 5, 1770, angered at the presence of royal troops in Boston, colonists threw snowballs, garbage, rocks, and other debris at a group of redcoats. The soldiers panicked and fired into the crowd, killing five men. Their graves, including that of Crispus Attucks, the first black man to die in the Revolution, are in the Old Granary Burying Ground.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Turn left onto Congress Street and walk down the hill.
Children's Museum
As you approach the Children's Museum, don't be surprised to see adults suddenly being dragged by the hand when their young companions realize how close they are and start running. You know that the museum is near when you see the 40-foot-high red-and-white milk bottle out front. It makes both children and adults look small in comparison -- which is probably part of the point. No matter how old, everyone behaves like a little kid at this delightful museum.Children under 11 are the museum's target audience. They can stick with their adults or wander on their own, learning, doing, and role-playing. A two-story-high maze, the New Balance Climb & Construction Zone, calls on motor skills and problem-solving abilities. Other favorite hands-on exhibits include Grandparents' Attic, a souped-up version of playing dress-up at Grandma's; physical experiments (such as creating giant soap bubbles) in Science Playground; and Boats Afloat, which has an 800-gallon play tank and a replica of the bridge of a working boat. You can explore Supermercado, a marketplace that introduces Hispanic culture; Boston Black, a new exhibit that celebrates Boston's black history and culture; and a Japanese house from Kyoto (Boston's sister city). Children under 4 and their caregivers have a special room, Playspace, that's packed with toys and activities.Call or surf ahead for information about traveling exhibitions and special programs. And be sure to check out the excellent gift shop (as if you have a choice).
Franklin Park Zoo
The Franklin Park Zoo is becoming more and more enjoyable -- for animals as well as people. From June to September, you can visit the popular, colorful Butterfly Landing enclosure. On the Outback Trail, you can see kangaroos, wallabies, emus, and cockatoos. Serengeti Crossing is home to zebras, ibex, ostriches, and wildebeests. Other installations house cheetahs, lions, snow leopards, and African wild dogs. The African Tropical Forest exhibit is a sprawling complex where you'll see more than 50 species of animals. This is the domain of the Western lowland gorillas, which appear to be roaming free in an approximation of their natural habitat. If you're traveling with animal-mad youngsters, the Children's Zoo is both entertaining and educational.Schedule at least half a day for a visit to the zoo. Franklin Park is 40 minutes from downtown by public transportation, and the walk from the main gate and parking area to the entrance is fairly long, especially for those with little legs.
The Westin Copley Place Boston
Towering 36 stories above Copley Square, the Westin attracts business travelers, convention-goers, sightseers, and dedicated shoppers. Sky bridges link the hotel to Copley Place and the Prudential Center complex, and Copley Square is across the street from the pedestrian entrance. The spacious guest rooms -- all on the eighth floor or higher -- have traditional oak and mahogany furniture and offer Westin's beloved pillow-top mattresses. All rooms underwent refurbishment in 2000 and 2001. But you might not notice the furnishings at first because you'll be captivated by the best views in town. Any qualms that you might have had about choosing a huge chain hotel will fade as you survey downtown Boston, the airport and harbor, and the Charles River and Cambridge.Facilities: 2 restaurants (a branch of New York's famous Palm steakhouse, and Turner Fisheries, a good choice for seafood); bar; indoor pool; newly refurbished health club and spa; concierge; car-rental desk; airport shuttle; well-equipped business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms. 48 guest units for travelers with disabilities adjoin standard units.
Longwood Inn
In a residential area 3 blocks from the Boston-Brookline border, this well-maintained three-story Victorian guesthouse offers comfortable accommodations at modest rates. Like the neighborhood, the interior style is homey, with Victorian accents that suit the building's architecture. Guests have the use of a fully equipped kitchen, common dining room, and TV lounge. There's one apartment with a private bathroom, kitchen, and balcony. Tennis courts, a running track, and a playground at the school next door are open to the public. Public transportation is easily accessible, and the Longwood Medical Area and busy Coolidge Corner neighborhood are within walking distance.
Comfort Inn & Suites Logan Airport
Although it loses points for the misleading name -- the airport is about 3 1/2 miles south of the airport -- the well-equipped Comfort Inn still ranks high. The eight-story hotel, which opened in 2001, sits on a hill set back from the street near a busy traffic circle. It offers a good range of amenities for business and leisure travelers, including free high-speed Internet access and local phone calls, continental breakfast, and an indoor pool. Suites are oversize rooms that contain sofa beds, and king suites have refrigerators as well. The staff offers very attentive service. The somewhat inconvenient location translates to reasonable rates, and the North Shore is easily accessible if you plan to take a day trip. Revere Beach is about 2 minutes away by car.Facilities: Restaurant (Italian/American); lounge; indoor pool; exercise room; shuttle to subway and airport; business center; room service (3-11pm); coin-op laundry; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
