Suggested events, concerts, festivals for Kids and families in Boston.
Looking for fun things to do in Boston this fall? Here is a list of some of the featured events for the city of Boston:
Fall Tours:
Fall Foliage Spectacular
Experience the gently rolling New England countryside, awash with the colors of Indian Summer. Travel past quiet ponds and ancient farms, weathered roadside taverns and sturdy colonial churches. Enjoy a hot Yankee style lunch at a quaint New England tavern nestled in the heart of the mountains. (Cost is additional) A pleasant afternoon of foliage display is capped by a stop at a native orchard for apples and cider.
Autumn on Old Cape Cod
Autumn is a special time on old Cape Cod. Summer's warmth still lingers, yet the multicolored splendor of New England's foliage offers a superb accent to the already beautiful vistas of the magical land south of Boston. Ride through Quincy, past the Adams Mansion and the birthplaces of two American presidents. After crossing the Cape Cod Canal, you'll visit the Sandwich Glass Museum and the Dexter Grist Mill. Lunch is on your own before arriving in Hyannisport, where you'll visit a memorial to President John F. Kennedy. To cap your day, join a lectured sightseeing cruise, which offers the best possible view of the Kennedy Compound.
Boston Ghosts and Gravestones
Step aboard the trolley of the doomed and join your host, a 17th Century grave digger, cursed with a sentence of eternal damnation. This wretched creature is doomed to travel the streets of Boston and relay the stories of the unfortunate souls he encountered and the macabre events he had been witness to during his purgatory. Join other apprentice grave diggers on an adventure through the darker side of Boston, a scary, fun and informative frightseeing experience that is truly one of a kind.
