With children, I always recommend stuff like the New England Aquarium or Boston Children’s Museum (pending on age). The Museum of Science is pretty cool too - they have a fun tesla-coil show. Depending on weather, Franklin Park Zoo may be an option.

Blue Man Group has a residency in Boston at the Charles Playhouse. I don’t know what their season schedule is, but it may be worth googling.

Right now is hockey season and basketball season. I would check availability for Bruins and/or Celtics tickets at TD Garden.

You can do something a little bit more high culture, check if there’s any performance is going on with Boston Symphony Orchestra or spend a few hours at the Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA) or Museum of Fine Arts (MFA).

As always, you can do the basic touristy stuff like walk The Freedom Trail, check out various parks such as the Charles River Esplanade, eat dinner the North End, etc.

This is great. Thanks for all the info! Any seafood restaurants you would recommend? Not necessarily touristy places just something local that you like? Usually on vacation I try to get to know people working in the hotel I’m at for info like this but I’m not going to have that kind of time for this pit stop
