Things To Do
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is a world-class cultural institution with artworks spanning ancient history to modern times, we have been 10 times and still haven't seen all that the MFA has to offer!
Mapparium
The Mapparium is one of the most unusual attractions in Boston. It’s essentially a giant walk-in globe made of stained glass where you stand inside the Earth and look outward at the world map. It is a snapshot in time of from when it was built in 1935.
Public Garden/Skating Frog Pond
In winter, the Boston Public Garden becomes quiet, snowy, and almost storybook-like. The park’s winding paths, statues, and famous lagoon are often surrounded by snow-covered trees and frosted benches. Just next door in Boston Common, the Frog Pond transforms into one of Boston’s most beloved winter spots, where you can ice skate and enjoy hot chocolate. Boston Public Garden was where we took our engagement photos!
USS Constitution Museum
The USS Constitution Museum is a maritime history museum located in the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston. It sits directly across the pier from the historic warship USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned naval vessel still afloat in the world. Sarah has fired the cannons of the USS Constitution for colors!
Winteractive Outdoor Art Installations
Winteractive is a free outdoor public art exhibition in downtown Boston that appears each winter. It transforms streets into a walkable trail of large, interactive art installations that you can explore while walking through the city.
