Things To Do
Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University
This beautiful arboretum is also a wonderful location to try your hand at birding, one of Rachel's favorite pastimes. Keep your eyes peeled for a yellow warbler, and for the corner where Ryan proposed!
Earls Kitchen + Bar
The site of our first date! Grab a drink or a bite before walking around the Prudential Center - some highlights include Eataly and The View, a ticketed rooftop with a fun bar and a beautiful view of Boston.
New England Aquarium
An amazing rainy day activity! Look for Myrtle the turtle who is often seen swimming near the top of the tank (Ryan's favorite), and the fluorescent jellyfish in the darkened tanks tucked along the winding path up (Rachel's favorite).
AMC Boston Common 19
Ryan's favorite place to catch a movie (and popcorn)
Boston Public Garden
A beautiful public park right next door to the Park Plaza Hotel. Look for the Make Way for Ducklings statue and their seasonal outfits, and the park bench from Goodwill Hunting!
Freedom Trail
For any history buffs, the Freedom Trail provides a unique opportunity to walk the steps traveled by the revolutionaries and founders of our country. (For those less dedicated to history, it is also a beautiful way to see much of the city!)
