To Do: We love love love The Public Garden! I have had the opportunity to go there almost daily while teaching in the city. Now I have been able to take my daughter there to enjoy the surroundings and play. The garden itself is just breathtaking. There are flowers and plants for all seasons. Spring is the best! I haven't taken Amelia on a Swan boat ride since she was at school in Boston however we are planning a trip soon.

The ticket price is inexpensive and the ride is very relaxing on a warm day. Bring sunscreen though! If you are lucky you may even see some of the turtles that hang out on the small island inside the pond. The Swans and ducks are awesome. Because the garden has such foot traffic on a regular basis ducks and squirrels are not afraid to get close to people, especially while you are eating. We enjoy going to the Make Way For Ducklings statue, running in the grass, feeding the ducks, hiding under the canopy trees, and having a Frosty. It really is a beautiful spot.
