Five Things To Do During February Vacation
Are you planning a trip to Boston in February? Perhaps you’re taking a staycation during February’s school vacation week? We’ve got some activities for you to check out!
Sitting on the Boston Wharf, you’ll find the New England Aquarium. This aquarium is great for adults and kids alike. There’s so much to “sea” at the exhibits, such as the penguin colony, giant ocean tank to see the iconic myrtle the turtle, shark and ray touch tank, and much more. During February Vacation Week, the aquarium will be open every day from 9:00am to 5:00pm, so make sure to add it to the itinerary
The famous Frog Pond on Boston Common is still open as a magical ice-skating rink! Located in the center of the park, visitors of all ages can skate and enjoy. You can also rent a Bobby Seal to help children and beginners across the rink. The rink is open seven days a week until March, and you can check out their website for information regarding skating times, admission, and skate rentals.
Children’s Winter Festival on the Boston Common
Join Mayor Michelle Wu and the Parks and Recreation Department for the perfect afternoon activity for kids of all ages. This free event features music, giveaways, various winter attractions, treats, crafts, and much more! Wednesday, February 21, from 11 a.m – 2 p.m
This landmark has been around since 1913, and includes a multitude of fun activities for kids of all ages. Both kids and parents can learn about other cultures, see exciting performances, get involved with arts and crafts and experience many other hands-on exhibits. There is also a challenging vertical maze that stands three-stories tall, and allows kids to gaze at downtown Boston through large windows. Overall, the Boston Children’s Museum emphasizes learn and play, engagement and fun, which are ideal when looking for things to do with kids in Boston.
You’ll experience science and technology in a new way at the Museum of Science with a kaleidescope of visiting exhibitions, special presentations, and 700 or so immersive exhibits! Create your own tiny flying robot bee, meet a biologically inspired cheetah robot, and move your body to create simulations based on your movements in a special mirror. Kids can journey to the past as they examine a 23-foot long, 65-million-year-old Triceratops skeleton!
Fireside Experience Package
A bonus sixth idea – escape to The Lenox with our Fireside Experience package! Stay in one of our luxurious Executive Fireplace rooms, some of the only hotel rooms in Boston with in-room wood-burning fireplaces, and enjoy a locally made fireside snack in style with hot chocolate, marshmallows & s’mores-inspired chocolates.
