Just 15 minutes west of Boston is the sixty-acre Larz Anderson Park offering a vast lawn, rolling hills for children to stretch out on, practice their somersaulting, or their skill at kite flying. Make sure to visit the park’s Museum of Transportation, housed in the beautiful 1888 carriage house. Here children can climb on cars and motorcycles or try out riding an antique bicycle. Adults and older children will enjoy the restored antique carriages, rare automobiles, and trolleys on exhibit. Special exhibits take place throughout the year, including ‘Cars of the Stars’, ‘Wild in the Streets’ and ‘Touring in America,’ which illustrates the chronology of American transportation.
Pack a picnic to enjoy on the hill behind the Museum, considered to be best kite flying hill in the Boston area. At the bottom of the hill is wonderful playground and duck pond with an additional picnic area. |
