It's an awful lot of history for kids (even older ones) to take in. Consider hitting just a couple of the more exciting spots, like Faneuil Hall , since the marketplace is there, the USS Constitution , Paul Revere's House in the North End (lots of good food!) and the Boston Common .

We are new to the East coast from Arizona, so for us we are excited to be able to travel three hours and be any where more exciting than Phoenix. For my husband and I, walking the Freedom trail was very interesting for us. These places have just been stories in a history book for us so actually seeing them was very exciting for us. Our children are 3 1/2 and 1 so needless to say they didn't understand ... more

Wow, the history!

After you are done, you will have seen a lot. We did it all in a single day, so rather than a 3 mile hike, it seemed like a 10 mile hike, but it was more than worth it

Best free ride on the planet!

The freedom trail is a great workout, leisure walk, or exploration tool. It really takes you along the hot points of Boston and has a lot of rest stops along the way. Think of it as CliffsNotes version of Boston
