Boston with kids, babies and toddlers

A big disclaimer here: I wasn’t in Boston with a real kid (“mommy buy me…!”) but with a very young and obliging child who will do almost anything. Still, here are a few tips:

(1) Food – Boston’s inner city supermarkets are expensive, but it is still a good idea to raid them and eat sandwiches or even the hot meals they offer, and not fast food; those of you from outside the East (including me) probably don’t know Friendly’s, a family restaurant chain, a restaurant of which can be found near the Charlestown Community College train station

(2) The area near the New England Aquarium has a pool with seals for free, which might be enough for some kids

(3) Boston Commons and the Gardens are a great place to be with kids, given the ducks all over the place

(4) Coply Plaza is a great place if your kids are not the winy/buy-me kind, lots of escalators and other exciting things (water fountains, sculptures, etc.)

(5) Museum of Science is almost a “must”; it has attractions for kids of all ages in almost every exhibit. Boston also has a Children’s Museum
