During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
King's Chapel and Burying Ground
Architect Peter Harrison sent the plans for this Georgian-style building from Newport, Rhode Island, in 1749. Rather than replacing the existing wooden chapel, the granite edifice was constructed around it. Completed in 1754, it was the first Anglican church in Boston. George III sent gifts, as did Queen Anne and William and Mary, who presented the communion table and chancel tablets (still in use today) before the church was even built. The Puritan colonists had little use for the royal religion; after the Revolution, this became the first Unitarian church in the new nation. Today, the church conducts Unitarian Universalist services using the Anglican Book of Common Prayer.The burying ground, on Tremont Street, is the oldest in the city, dating to 1630. Among the scary colonial headstones (winged skulls were a popular decoration) are the graves of John Winthrop, the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony; William Dawes, who rode with Paul Revere; Elizabeth Pain, the model for Hester Prynne in Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel The Scarlet Letter; and Mary Chilton, the first female colonist to step ashore on Plymouth Rock.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Follow the trail back along Tremont Street and turn left onto School Street.
James Rego Square (Paul Revere Mall)
A pleasant little brick-paved park known as the Prado, the mall holds a famous equestrian statue of Paul Revere. Take time to read some of the tablets on the left-hand wall that describe famous people and places in the history of the North End.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Walk around the fountain and continue to Salem Street.
A Cambridge House Bed & Breakfast Inn
A Cambridge House feels almost like a country inn except that it's on a busy stretch of Cambridge's main street (Mass. Ave.), set back from the sidewalk by a lawn. The three-story building is a beautifully restored 1892 Victorian that's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The well-maintained rooms vary widely in size; they're warmly decorated with Waverly-Schumacher fabrics and period antiques. Most contain fireplaces and four-poster canopy beds with down comforters. The best rooms face away from the street, which is a bus route. The inn serves a generous breakfast and afternoon refreshments.
Boston Marriott Long Wharf
The landmark Marriott's chief appeal is its location, a stone's throw from the New England Aquarium. It attracts business travelers with its proximity to the Financial District, and woos families with its pool and easy access to downtown and waterfront attractions. The hotel's terraced brick exterior is one of the most recognizable sights on the harbor; inside, the seven-story atrium contributes to the airy feel of the public spaces. Rooms and bathrooms underwent extensive renovation in 2002; each large unit has either one king-size or two double beds (with pillow-top mattresses), and a table and chairs in front of the window. Rooms are quite sunny (the stand-alone building has no neighbors to block the light), decorated in earth tones with red and gold accents that complement the cherry furnishings. Rooms close to the water afford good views of the wharves and the waterfront; units closer to Atlantic Avenue have a newly peaceful post-Big Dig atmosphere.Facilities: Restaurant (seafood); cafe and lounge; bar and grill; indoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; game room; concierge; tour desk; 24-hr. business center; room service until 2am; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; executive-level rooms. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
Seaport Hotel
The independent Seaport Hotel rises out of the Big Dig like the Emerald City, with a distinct air of fantasy about it. The hotel, which opened in 1998, was designed and built by Fidelity Investments with every feature that pampered, techno-savvy business travelers might dream of. It's across the street from the World Trade Center and about 10 minutes by cab from the airport or the Financial District. If you plan to take public transit, leave time for the hotel shuttle from South Station or for a long walk through and around heavy construction.The decent-size rooms have all the usual perks plus extras such as Logan Airport flight information on the TV and fog-free mirrors in the well-appointed bathrooms. The views (of the city or the harbor) are excellent, especially from the higher floors. The kid-conscious staff, pool, great weekend packages, and proximity to the Children's Museum make this a good choice for families, too.Facilities: Well-regarded restaurant (contemporary American); cafe; lounge; 50-ft. indoor pool; newly expanded health club; sauna; bike rental; concierge; car-rental desk; courtesy car; shuttle to South Station; 24-hr. business center with professional staff (7am-8pm); 24-hr. room service; massage; same-day dry cleaning; executive suites.
